Question 1

What's the proper way to dispose of old light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

What's the difference between a medium (E26) and candelabra (E12) screw base, and which one do I need?

Accepted Answer

Medium (E26) base bulbs are the most common size for household lamps and fixtures, while candelabra (E12) bases are smaller and typically used in chandeliers, decorative fixtures, and nightlights. To choose the right one, look at the base of your old bulb or the fixture socket – if it's larger and standard-sized, you need an E26, while smaller ones are E12.

Question 3

When should I choose flood or spotlight bulbs, and what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Flood light bulbs produce a wide beam, ideal for illuminating large areas like patios or driveways. In contrast, spotlight bulbs focus their beam more narrowly, making them perfect for highlighting artwork or architectural features, giving you options for different needs and purposes. Both can be used indoors or outdoors, depending on the fixture.
