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 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.

Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant. If the glass breaks, the coating keeps shards from falling.

Replace the slender bulbs in lamps and task lights.

Use these bulbs in standard sockets, panels, and appliances. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are commonly used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool or daylight appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly energy cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than other technologies. They generate little heat and withstand vibration. Plastic LED bulbs are shatterproof.

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.

Style D have a rotating base, so you can aim the beam where you need it.

Frosted bulbs cast softer light than clear bulbs. They help reduce glare in fixtures where the bulb is visible.

Bulbs with an EX39 mogul base can also be used in E39 mogul base sockets. Add a socket adapter (sold separately) to use E26 medium base bulbs in fixtures with EX39 or E39 mogul base sockets.

Add a motion sensor to the end of a bulb to light up HID fixtures when they detect movement after dark. To make changes to the reach and sensitivity of a motion sensor, you'll need a remote control (sold separately).

Bulbs that cannot be sold to California do not meet energy efficiency regulations.

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.

Update conventional fluorescent tubular lights with newer LED technology. These lights match the diameter of most older lights and fit existing brackets without the need to drill new mounting holes. They have a durable lens that resists coolants, lubricants, and impact from chips and shavings. All are rated IP67 for protection against dust and temporary submersion, so these lights can handle your wettest environments.

Style A have a traditional tubular design that distributes light more evenly than Style B. Plug them into a standard outlet and use the switch built into the cord to turn them on and off.

Style B have a flat lens that directs light downward. Hardwire them to your power supply. They come with mounting brackets at each end. Optional mounting brackets (sold separately) clip anywhere along the light, so you can position them where it makes sense for your machine.

Add a power supply (sold separately) to transform your facility’s AC voltage to DC voltage. Mount the power supply outside of your machine to protect it from heat.
