About Brightness and Light Appearance

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

Bi-Pin-Base Miniature Light Bulbs

Pointed

Bulb

These bulbs are small, but very bright, so they're often used in flashlights and optical instruments such as projectors and microscopes. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.

Bi-Pin-Base Floodlight and Spotlight Bulbs


MR13 Bulb Shape	MR16 Bulb Shape

Often used in display and landscape lighting, these small bulbs produce a focused beam of light. Bulbs that are 50W or higher are often used in overhead projectors and microscopes. They’re brightest at the center of their beam angle; the edges of the beam are about half as bright. The narrower the beam, the more concentrated the light.

LED Light Bulbs for High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights


Style A—For Bay, Bollard, Floodlight, Post Top, Wall Lights	Style B—For Bay Lights	Style C—For Bollard, Post Top Lights	Style D—For Floodlight, Wall Lights

Change out the bulbs in your high-intensity discharge (HID) light fixture to lower energy costs. These LED bulbs last longer than other HID bulbs and achieve the same brightness with fewer lumens. They’re ballast bypass bulbs, so you can install them in a socket that’s wired directly to the power source. Match the wattage of the bulb you’re replacing.

Select a light appearance to match your existing lighting. If you’re not sure what temperature you need, choose a bulb with more than one light appearance. You can adjust the temperature with a switch.

LED Light Bulbs for Hazardous Location High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights

Swap out the high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs in your hazardous-location lights to lower energy costs. These LED bulbs are rated for NEC Class I, Division 2 locations, so they’re safe to use near combustible concentrations of gas. They last longer than HID bulbs and achieve the same brightness with fewer lumens. Match the wattage of the bulb you’re replacing. These are ballast bypass bulbs—install them in a socket that’s wired directly to the power source.
