Our Most Popular Light Bulb Types

LED Light Bulbs

Up to 80% more efficient than traditional lighting, LED bulbs are available in a wide range of shapes including BR, MR, A19, and LED tube formats. Great for homes, offices, and commercial installations. Many are Energy Star, Title 24, or JA8 certified, making them eligible for energy rebates.

Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Fluorescent bulbs come in several sizes and are commonly used in offices, schools, and retail environments. They use phosphor coatings to convert UV light into visible light and offer high CRI options for better color accuracy. Choose from 800 and 900 series tubes for optimal performance.

Incandescent Bulbs

Classic and familiar, incandescent light bulbs (like the A19 shape) provide warm light but are less energy efficient. Due to new federal efficiency standards, most standard incandescent and halogen bulbs were banned in 2023. However, specialty bulbs such as appliance lamps, bug lights, colored bulbs, and antique styles are still available.

Halogen Lights

Halogen bulbs produce bright white light and last longer than incandescents. They’re commonly used in recessed, pendant, and desk lighting. Always handle with care—use gloves to avoid damaging the glass from skin oils.

High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps

Including metal halide, HPS, and mercury vapor, HID bulbs are known for intense brightness and are ideal for parking lots, gymnasiums, and warehouses. These bulbs require a ballast and deliver more light output per watt than most traditional bulbs.

Black Lights

Blacklight bulbs (BL and BLB) emit ultraviolet (UV-A) light with minimal visible light. They're used for party effects, art authentication, forensics, and pest control.

Antique and Vintage Bulbs

Perfect for restoration projects or mood lighting, antique-style bulbs replicate the look of early 20th-century filaments and produce a soft amber glow. Primarily decorative.

Colored Bulbs

Great for holidays, events, or theme lighting, colored light bulbs are available in red, blue, green, pink, orange, and more. Choose from globe, A19, and other shapes to suit your décor.

Stage and Studio Lamps

We stock specialty stage and studio bulbs for photography, film production, and theatrical lighting. From HPL lamps to ANSI-coded replacements, find professional-grade solutions here.

UV Germicidal Lamps

Designed for disinfection, germicidal UV lamps help sterilize air, water, and surfaces. Not intended for illumination, these bulbs are commonly used in medical and industrial applications.
