Question 1

I'm looking for a tubular bulb for my fixture, and I see "T8," "T5," and "T12" listed. What do these "T" numbers mean, and how do they differ?

Accepted Answer

The "T" in these codes indicates a tubular shape, often used for fluorescent or LED tubes, and the number represents the tube diameter in eighths of an inch; thus, a T8 bulb is 1 inch in diameter, while a T5 bulb is 5/8 of an inch, and a T12 is 12/8 of an inch (or 1.5 inches), with the smaller diameter often correlating to newer, more energy-efficient models. Choose the correct number that matches the socket in your fixture.

Question 2

What are some popular brands of white light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality white light bulbs include VEVOR, Beyond Solar, and Hinkley Lighting.

Question 3

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.

Question 4

What are the key benefits of switching to LED light bulbs in my home?

Accepted Answer

LED light bulbs are incredibly energy-efficient, using up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, translating to significant savings on electricity bills. They also have a much longer lifespan, meaning fewer replacements and less hassle.
