    Often used in taillights, brake lights, indicators, and other vehicle lights. These bulbs have two filaments that operate at different brightness levels, with the second filament shining brighter when activated. They lock into sockets in tight spaces with offset pins on the base; one pin is slightly higher on the base than the other pin. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.

    Replace existing fluorescent light bulbs that have recessed contacts or upgrade them to LED. Select a light appearance to match your existing lighting. Bulbs with more than one light appearance have a switch so you can match other lights in the room.
    LED—LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. To install these bulbs, bypass the ballast by wiring the socket directly to the power source. Use them in fixtures with double-ended wiring, where the power is wired to both sockets.
    Fluorescent—Fluorescent bulbs contain small amounts of mercury. For disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl.
    Plastic-Coated Glass Bulb—Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant. If the glass breaks, the coating keeps shards from falling.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Bulbs cannot be sold to the listed areas because they do not meet local regulations for mercury content or energy efficiency.
