LED Light Bulbs for Homes and Businesses
LED light bulbs offer an LED replacement bulb option for many incandescent, fluorescent, and HID applications. These LED bulbs combine energy efficiency with a wide array of shapes, bases, and control options. Whether you are looking for household light bulbs or specialized commercial replacements, match the bulb to the fixture’s electrical and physical requirements.
Why Choose LED Lighting?
LED technology offers energy-saving and long-life options for home and commercial lighting.
- Extreme Energy Efficiency: An energy efficient light bulb can use up to 90% less power than an incandescent bulb producing comparable light output; savings vary by product.
- Unmatched Longevity: LED bulbs can last 15 to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs, depending on rated life and operating conditions.
- Instant On & Full Control: LED bulbs provide light without a fluorescent-style warm-up period. For compatible dimming systems, dim-to-warm LED bulbs produce a warmer appearance as brightness decreases. 3-way light bulbs instead provide preset brightness levels in compatible 3-way sockets.
- Fixture Compatibility: LED bulbs still generate heat. Use enclosed-fixture-rated bulbs where required and follow the bulb and fixture restrictions.
Key Types of LED Light Bulbs We Offer
Our categories help you compare types of light bulbs for different fixtures and applications.
- Standard Household: Type A bulbs include the classic A19 and A15 shapes used in compatible lamps and ceiling fixtures.
- Directional/Reflector: Flood light bulbs and spot light bulbs, including BR30 and PAR38 shapes, offer directional lighting options for compatible recessed, track, and outdoor fixtures.
- Exposed-Bulb Fixtures: The visible shape can be part of the fixture’s design. Globe light bulbs provide a rounded profile, while candle light bulbs provide a tapered profile for compatible chandeliers and sconces.
- Decorative/Vintage: Decorative light bulbs offer visible-bulb styles for ornamental fixtures, including candelabra forms. Edison filament bulbs offer a vintage appearance. For compatible outdoor or indoor strands, choose string light bulbs that match the strand’s socket and operating requirements.
- Commercial/Tube: T8, T5, and other linear tubes provide replacement options for compatible fluorescent fixtures. Other commercial replacement formats include plug-in light bulbs and HID replacement bulbs; installation and electrical compatibility depend on the selected lamp.
Lighting Controls, Color, and Automatic Operation
Smart light bulbs offer connected control features that vary by model, including options using WiFi. For a fixed decorative color rather than connected control, compare colored light bulbs.
For automatic operation, dusk-to-dawn light bulbs use photocell sensors to respond to ambient light. Motion sensor light bulbs respond to detected movement. Check the selected bulb’s sensing requirements and fixture compatibility.
Matching Your LED Bulb to the Correct Base
The base of the light bulb is essential for compatibility. Our LED replacement bulbs include several connection types:
- E26 Medium Screw Base: A common household base found on many A-type, BR, PAR, and globe LED bulbs.
- E12 Candelabra Base: A smaller screw base used on many candelabra and decorative lightbulbs. Base size and bulb shape are separate specifications, so verify both.
- Bi-Pin/Loop-Pin: Miniature light bulbs include specialty connections such as G4 and G9. GU10 uses a twist-lock connection; voltage and installation requirements vary by bulb.
- G13/G5 Bi-Pin: Bases found on common linear fluorescent lamps and their compatible LED tube lights replacements.
Compare Incandescent-Equivalent Light Output
Equivalent wattage describes comparable incandescent brightness, while actual wattage describes the LED bulb’s power consumption. For replacements in the lower two equivalence categories, compare 40W-equivalent LED bulbs and 60W-equivalent LED bulbs by their stated lumens.
For higher light output, compare 75W-equivalent LED bulbs and 100W-equivalent LED bulbs. Check actual power consumption and fixture requirements as well as equivalent wattage.
