T6 - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

What does "lumens" mean, and how does it relate to brightness?

Accepted Answer

"Lumens" measure how much light a bulb emits – the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb! To determine the right bulb for your needs, our Light Bulb Brightness guide will explain how to choose the appropriate number of lumens to light up a room.

Question 2

I have an older fixture in my dining room. What type of bulb is best to replace the traditional incandescent?

Accepted Answer

While traditional incandescent bulbs provide a warm light, LED or even halogen options are great for energy-efficient replacements; be sure to check the base type and wattage for compatibility with your existing fixture. These replacements will also last significantly longer.

Question 3

What are some of the top-rated t6 light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

One of our top-rated t6 light bulbs is the 40-Watt Equivalent T6 Dimmable Straight Filament Clear Glass E12 Candelabra Edison LED Light Bulb, Soft White (4-Pack).

Question 4

What light bulb color should I choose to create a cozy atmosphere?

Accepted Answer

For a warm, inviting feel, consider using yellow or amber light bulbs emitting a soft, golden glow that mimics natural candlelight. These colors promote relaxation and are excellent for creating comfortable spaces.

Question 5

I'm replacing a fixture in my dining room, and the old bulb was a funny shape. What's the difference between a candle and a bent-tip candle shape, and when would I use them?

Accepted Answer

Candle bulbs, with their classic flame-like shape, add a touch of elegance to chandeliers and decorative fixtures; the bent-tip candle variation enhances this by offering a more ornate and softer lighting effect. Both types are great for creating a warm, inviting ambiance in your dining or living room.

Question 6

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.
