Single-Contact Base with Tubular Bulb

Small

Pins on either side of the base lock these bulbs into sockets. These bulbs are sized to fit tight spaces such as indicators and vehicle lights. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.

Incandescent bulbs are traditional light bulbs.

Bi-Pin Base Miniature Light Bulbs

These bulbs are small, but very bright, so they're often used in flashlights and optical instruments such as projectors and microscopes. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.

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

Halogen bulbs are slightly more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, but they generate more heat.

Bi-Pin Base Tubular Light Bulbs

T5 and T5/HO

Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color rendering index (CRI) is a measurement on a scale of 0-100 of how accurately the light from a bulb represents an object's true colors; the higher the number, the more natural the colors appear. Any CRI value over 80 will show colors true to life. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are often used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool or daylight appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. They generate little heat and withstand vibration. Socket-ready bulbs work with most instant-start electronic ballasts, but not all. For a full list of compatible ballasts select a part number and view product detail. Ballast bypass bulbs eliminate the need for a ballast so the socket must be wired directly to the power source.

Fluorescent bulbs are energy efficient, but they contain small amounts of mercury (for disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl). Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they break.

Bulbs that cannot be sold to the regions listed exceed local regulatory limits on mercury and/or do not meet local efficiency standards.
