    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Screw-In-Base Floodlight and Spotlight Bulbs

    Light up large areas or spotlight an object. These bulbs suit recessed cans and outdoor floodlights. Light is brightest at beam center and roughly half as bright at the edges. All are shatterproof plastic.

    Pins on the base lock these bulbs into sockets to withstand vibration. Often used in recessed can fixtures and track lighting, they produce a focused beam of light. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. A bulb’s estimated yearly energy cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

    These changers create a vacuum seal against a light bulb. They're often used to change bulbs in recessed lights where there's no room to reach around the bulbs. They include three bulb changers to cover a wide range of bulb shapes. Bulb shape numbers starting with A, G, P, and PS are standard-household, globe-, or pear-shaped light bulbs. PAR, and R bulbs are found in spotlights or floodlights, or recessed can lights.
