    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Wire-Terminal-Base Miniature Light Bulbs

    Connect these bulbs to a power source through a panel using the wire terminals. They fit into tight spaces in equipment and electronic assemblies. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.

    LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than other technologies. They generate little heat and withstand vibration. They require a resistor to limit current (not included).

    Circuit Board LED Light Bulbs

    Often used as status indicators, in displays, or to check circuit function in prototyping and testing, these bulbs have wire terminals to directly install onto circuit boards. As LEDs, they last longer, are more efficient, and produce less heat than other types of bulbs. Vibration won’t cause these bulbs to malfunction. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. They require a resistor (sold separately) to limit current.
