Question 1

What are bi-pin and 4-pin bases, and what are they used for?

Accepted Answer

Bi-pin bases, including the miniature and medium bi-pin, have two small pins that push into a socket commonly used for halogen or some LED bulbs in undercabinet lighting or desk lamps. 4-pin bases, with their four pins, are often found in fluorescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs; they are designed for fixtures requiring a more secure connection and may need specific ballast compatibility.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Edison bulbs 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.

Question 4

What's the difference between BR and PAR bulbs, like a BR30 versus a PAR38?

Accepted Answer

BR bulbs are bulged reflector bulbs that produce a wider, more diffused pool of light. They are ideal for general room lighting and are often used in recessed cans. PAR bulbs, or parabolic aluminized reflector bulbs, create a more focused, intense beam of light, making them great for spotlights, task lighting, and outdoor applications.

Question 5

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?

Accepted Answer

Common bases for LED upgrades include the screw-in E26 (standard medium base), smaller E12 (candelabra), and bi-pin bases like GU10 or G4. 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.
