T40 - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

What's the difference between a medium (E26) and candelabra (E12) screw base, and which one do I need?

Accepted Answer

Medium (E26) base bulbs are the most common size for household lamps and fixtures, while candelabra (E12) bases are smaller and typically used in chandeliers, decorative fixtures, and nightlights. To choose the right one, look at the base of your old bulb or the fixture socket – if it's larger and standard-sized, you need an E26, while smaller ones are E12.

Question 2

What does "lumens" mean, and how does it relate to brightness?

Accepted Answer

"Lumens" measure how much light a bulb emits – the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb! To determine the right bulb for your needs, our Light Bulb Brightness guide will explain how to choose the appropriate number of lumens to light up a room.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Which lighting technologies are available for light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

We carry lighting technologies like led and mercury vapor.

Question 5

Can I use universal light bulbs in any fixture in my home?

Accepted Answer

Universal light bulbs generally refer to bulbs designed for various applications and fixtures, meaning they're versatile for different settings. Always double-check your fixture's requirements to ensure the bulb's base, wattage, and voltage match; following the guidelines helps ensure safety and compatibility for any light fixture around the house.

Question 6
