Light Bulbs

I love the vintage look. Are Edison bulbs a good choice for general lighting?

Edison bulbs are fantastic for adding a warm, decorative touch to your home with their visible filament design and amber glow. Still, they're generally not the most efficient choice for primary lighting due to their lower lumen output. Consider using them in fixtures where the aesthetic is as important as the illumination.

There are so many types of light bulbs! How do I choose the right one?

From LEDs to incandescents and everything in between, each bulb type has its own benefits. Not sure where to start? Our Types of Light Bulbs guide breaks down the different kinds, explaining their energy efficiency, lifespan, and best uses, making it simple to find the perfect fit.

What are type A light bulbs, and why are they so common?

Type A light bulbs are the classic, pear-shaped bulbs you're most likely familiar with. They fit standard medium-base sockets and are widely used in lamps and fixtures throughout homes. Their popularity stems from their versatility, affordability, and compatibility with most everyday lighting setups, making them a reliable choice for general illumination.

What's the difference between BR and PAR bulbs, like a BR30 versus a PAR38?

BR bulbs are bulged reflector bulbs that produce a wider, more diffused pool of light. They are ideal for general room lighting and are often used in recessed cans. PAR bulbs, or parabolic aluminized reflector bulbs, create a more focused, intense beam of light, making them great for spotlights, task lighting, and outdoor applications.
