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

Are type A EcoSmart bulbs available, and what are their benefits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, type A EcoSmart light bulbs offer the perfect combination of the traditional bulb shape with energy-saving LED technology. You get the familiar look and feel of a standard Type A bulb but with the benefits of reduced energy usage, extended lifespan, and lower long-term costs.

Question 3

I'm planning a party. Is it safe to use colored light bulbs in regular fixtures, or are there specific concerns?

Accepted Answer

Colored light bulbs are safe in standard light fixtures, adding a fun and festive atmosphere to any event. Just match the bulb base type and wattage to your fixtures.

Question 4

What are twist & lock and bayonet bases, and how are they different from screw-in bases?

Accepted Answer

Twist & lock bases, often seen in recessed lighting and some outdoor fixtures, don't screw in but instead lock into place by inserting and turning. bayonet bases, recognized by their cylindrical shape and side pins, are commonly used in older fixtures and some specialty appliances. They don't use the traditional threaded screw-in design, so check the fixture before purchase.
