    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.
    Fluorescent—Fluorescent 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 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 Bulb—Plastic bulbs are shatterproof.
