    Shape

    T12 Bulb

    Shape

    Swap new fluorescent light bulbs into your single-pin base fixture, or upgrade them to LED. Select a light appearance to match your existing lighting. Bulbs with more than one light appearance have a switch, which allows you to match other lights in the room.
    T8 Bulb Shape—T8 bulbs can be used in T12 sockets that are wired directly to a power source.
    LED—LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. They work with sockets that are wired directly to the power source.
    Fluorescent—Fluorescent bulbs contain small amounts of mercury. For disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl.
    Ballast Compatible LED—Ballast compatible bulbs also work with most instant-start electronic ballasts. Check if your ballast is compatible by selecting a part number and clicking product detail.
    Plastic-Coated Glass Bulb—Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant. If the glass breaks, the coating keeps shards from falling.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Bulbs cannot be sold to the listed areas because they do not meet local regulations for mercury content or energy efficiency.
