Question 1

I have a floor lamp that needs a new bulb. It uses one of those long bulbs. Are there different types, and what are they best suited for?

Accepted Answer

For floor lamps, you might find tubular or linear bulbs, known for their elongated shape and ability to provide a spread-out light. Tubular bulbs tend to be used more for decorative fixtures, while linear bulbs provide light for larger areas. Always check the base type and wattage to ensure compatibility with your lamp.

Question 2

I have some old fluorescent tubes. What does the "G13" or "G23" base mean, and can I replace them with LED equivalents?

Accepted Answer

The “G” followed by a number such as "13" or "23" indicates a bi-pin connector specifically designed for fluorescent tubes. These include types that require different mounting types in some fixtures. Often, you can find LED equivalents designed with the same base type and mounting styles for easy replacements. Ensure the voltage and physical size match so your new bulb works safely.

Question 3

Which light bulb base type do I need?

Accepted Answer

To determine the right light bulb, identify the base type by checking the existing bulb or the fixture. We carry base types such as medium and medium bi-pin.

Question 4

For bulbs labeled A19, A15, and A21, what does the "A" mean, and how do those numbers relate to the bulb?

Accepted Answer

The "A" refers to the traditional, pear-shaped bulb, a common style for homes. The number indicates the bulb's diameter at its widest point, in eighths of an inch, so an A19 bulb is 19/8 inches wide, an A21 is slightly larger at 21/8 inches, and an A15 is smaller at 15/8. Knowing this helps when choosing the right size for your fixtures and the light needed.

Question 5

What does the enclosed fixture rate mean for my light bulbs, and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Enclosed fixture rated light bulbs are designed to handle the heat buildup inside enclosed fixtures, preventing premature failure and ensuring safe operation. This is crucial for fixtures like globes or recessed lighting where airflow is limited, allowing you to choose the correct bulb for your light.

Question 6

Which color temperature should I choose for a cozy, relaxing living room atmosphere?

Accepted Answer

For a warm and inviting atmosphere, choose light bulbs with a Soft white or warm white color temperature. These bulbs emit a yellowish light, like traditional incandescent bulbs, which helps create a comfortable and relaxed feel, perfect for living spaces.
