    T5 Bulb

    Shape

    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.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Bulbs that cannot be sold to the listed areas do not meet local regulations for mercury content or energy efficiency.

    LED Light Bulbs for High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights

    Style A—For

    Bay,

    Bollard,

    Floodlight,

    Post Top,

    Wall Lights

    Change out the bulbs in your high-intensity discharge (HID) light fixture to lower energy costs. These LED bulbs last longer than other HID bulbs and achieve the same brightness with fewer lumens. They’re ballast bypass bulbs, so you can install them in a socket that’s wired directly to the power source. Match the wattage of the bulb you’re replacing.
    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.
