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.

Are tube lights only used in commercial settings, or can I use them at home?

While commonly used in garages and basements, tube lights, especially LED tube lights, are becoming increasingly popular for their energy efficiency and bright light in home workshops, under-cabinet lighting, and even for creating a modern, minimalist look in certain rooms. They offer a lot of options for different areas of the house.
