Just because we aren't all experts, here is a little information about the light bulbs we offer to help
you make a well informed decision and make sure you get the light bulb you need.
Regular incandescent light bulbs: These light bulbs, which provide most home lighting,
are used in products from nightlights to floodlights. The most common incandescent is a pear-shaped (A19)
bulb with a medium-sized screw-type base. Incandescent light bulbs use electricity to heat a filament
until it glows white hot, producing light. About 90 percent of
the electricity used by incandescent light bulbs is lost as heat. These light bulbs typically burn
for 750 to 20,000 hours.
Incandescent spotlights and floodlights: The reflective coating on these light bulbs
helps to direct and focus the light. Commonly known as spotlights or floodlights, these bulbs are often
used in recessed ceiling fixtures or outdoors. They burn for up to 20,000 hours.
Halogen light bulbs: These light bulbs contain a small capsule filled with halogen gas,
which emits a bright white light. We provide a quality Sylvania Halogen light bulb that is known
for excellent beam control. Long life and full spectrum halogen light bulbs use less energy and last
longer than standard incandescent light bulbs of the same wattage. The life of these light bulbs is around
2,000 to 10,000 hours or two to five years.
General service fluorescent light bulbs: These light bulbs are more energy efficient than
incandescent light bulbs because they don't produce heat. These are the thin, long tube lights often found in
kitchens for under-cabinet lighting, or in garages, workshops and basements. The tubes can last from 10,000 to
44,000 hours -- 10 to 40 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
Compact fluorescent light bulbs: These light bulbs provide as much light as
regular incandescent bulbs while using just one-fourth of the energy. For example, a 15-watt compact fluorescent
light bulb yields the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent light bulb. Compact fluorescent light
bulbs last about 10,000 hours -- 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
