    Often used for general task lighting and in flashlights, projectors, and microscopes, these bulbs are small but very bright. To replace a bi-pin bulb without a trade number, match the base number, voltage, and wattage. The base number reflects the pin spacing from center to center in millimeters—for example, G4 base pins are 4 mm apart. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.
    LED—Last longer and are more efficient than other technologies.

    MR11 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—LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than halogen bulbs. They generate little heat and withstand vibration.
    Plastic Bulb—Plastic LED bulbs are shatterproof.
