I love the vintage look. Are Edison bulbs a good choice for general lighting?

<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs-Edison-Bulbs/N-5yc1vZ2fkol7b?catStyle=ShowProducts?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">Edison bulbs</a> are fantastic for adding a warm, decorative touch to your home with their visible filament design and amber glow. Still, they're generally not the most efficient choice for primary lighting due to their lower lumen output. Consider using them in fixtures where the aesthetic is as important as the illumination.

I want to upgrade to LED bulbs, but I'm unsure if the base will fit. What common base types might I encounter, and what should I consider?

Common bases for LED upgrades include the screw-in <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/E26/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0tp3j?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">E26</a> (standard medium base), smaller <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/E12/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0tp3i?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">E12</a> (candelabra), and bi-pin bases like <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/GU10/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0x2dl?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">GU10</a> or <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/G4/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0tlpo?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">G4</a>. When upgrading, always match your existing base code; however, some LEDs, such as the E26, are offered in other base types, such as the GU10, for use in many common fixtures. Be sure to double-check to ensure you select the correct base.
