    Change out the four-pin wedge base CFL bulbs in your fixture, or upgrade to LED. Often used in can lights, 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.
    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.
    Ballast Compatible LED—Ballast-compatible bulbs are a quick replacement for CFL bulbs, since they work with most electronic ballasts. Check if your ballast is compatible by selecting a part number and clicking product detail.
