75 Watt - White - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

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 2

What's the difference between "Daylight" and "Soft White" bulbs?

Accepted Answer

"Daylight" bulbs offer a crisp, energizing, blue-toned light that's perfect for task lighting in areas like kitchens or offices, while "Soft White" provides a warm, cozy, yellow-toned light ideal for relaxing spaces like living rooms and bedrooms. To learn more about which is right for you, check out our Daylight Bulbs vs Soft White Bulbs guide to help you decide.

Question 3

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 4

What's the best way to save energy and get bright light in my kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Consider switching to LED bulbs. They use significantly less energy than older incandescent or halogen bulbs and offer various color temperatures, allowing you to customize the light's ambiance in your space. Plus, they last for years, saving energy costs and replacement hassle.

Question 5

How do I decide which light bulb shape code I need?

Accepted Answer

To choose the right light bulb shape, consider the fixture you'll be using it in and look for the code (like A19, G25, or BR30) printed on your old bulb or in your fixture's specifications, ensuring a proper fit and desired light distribution. We offer par20, par30, and mr16.
