    Replace your fluorescent bulbs or upgrade to LED. These light bulbs are the most common tubular bulbs for fixtures inside plants, warehouses, and offices. 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—LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. You can choose bulbs that work with or without a ballast—some bulbs can do both.
    Ballast-Bypass LED—Ballast-bypass bulbs work with sockets that are wired directly to the power source, which cuts down on maintenance. If your fixture has a ballast, you’ll need to remove it.
    Ballast Compatible LED— Ballast-compatible bulbs are a quick replacement for fluorescent bulbs, since they work with most instant-start electronic ballasts. Check if your ballast is compatible by selecting a part number and clicking product detail.
    Plastic-Coated Glass Bulb—Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant. If the glass breaks, the coating keeps shards from falling.

    Four-Pin-Base Plug-In Compact Light Bulbs

    Image of Product. Back orientation. Light Bulbs. Four-Pin-Base Plug-In Compact Light Bulbs.
    Swap out the four-pin base fluorescent bulbs in your fixture or upgrade them to LED. Often used in recessed ceiling lights and wall sconces, these bulbs are comparable to PL, Dulux, and Biax bulbs. 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. All bulbs can be used in horizontal or vertical operating positions.
    LED—LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than CFL bulbs. They work with most electronic ballasts, so you can use them in existing fixtures without rewiring the socket. Check if your ballast is compatible by selecting a part number and clicking product detail. To avoid future maintenance, you can also remove the ballast from your fixture and wire the socket directly to the power source.
