Screw-In Base Light Bulbs
Use these bulbs in standard sockets, panels, and appliances. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are commonly used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool or daylight appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly energy cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.
CFL (compact fluorescent) bulbs are more energy efficient and last longer than halogen bulbs. It takes several seconds for them to reach full brightness. They contain small amounts of mercury (for disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl).
Silicone-coated glass and plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter-resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they do break.
Bulbs that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to energy efficiency requirements, mercury regulations, and product registration requirements.

Screw-In Base Spotlight Bulbs
These bulbs produce a narrower, more concentrated beam of light than floodlight bulbs. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are commonly used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool light appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly energy cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.
PAR bulbs have narrow beam angles that provide more focused beams of light than other spotlights. A short length allows them to fit in small can fixtures without protruding.
LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than other technologies. They generate little heat, withstand vibration, and are shatterproof.

Recessed Double-Contact Base Tubular Light Bulbs
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. To install, bypass the ballast by wiring the socket directly to the power source.Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they break.

LED Light Bulbs for High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights
Replace high-intensity discharge (HID) lights with the longer-lasting, energy-efficient LEDs. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. LED lights are perceived as brighter at night than high-intensity discharge light technologies, so they require fewer lumens to provide the same brightness. Match your old light’s wattage to find the right LED bulb. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.
Ballast bypass bulbs eliminate the need for a ballast, so the socket must be wired directly to the power source.
