    Small but powerful, these bulbs are commonly used in stage and security lighting. All have a neutral light appearance that is brighter than warm light. A bulb’s estimated yearly energy cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh. These halogen bulbs are slightly more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, but they generate more heat.

    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.
