    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Two-Pin Wedge-Base Plug-In Compact Light Bulbs

    Often used in can lights, these bulbs are comparable to PL, Dulux, and Biax bulbs. Change out your CFL bulbs or upgrade to LED. 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 CFL bulbs. You can choose bulbs that work with or without a ballast—some bulbs can do both.
    CFL—CFL bulbs contain small amounts of mercury. For disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl.
    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 CFL bulbs, since they work with most magnetic ballasts. Check if your ballast is compatible by selecting a part number and clicking product detail.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Bulbs that cannot be sold to the listed areas do not meet local regulations for mercury content or energy efficiency.
