Light Bulbs

Looking for the right light bulbs for your home, shop, or jobsite? This category helps you choose bulbs that deliver the brightness, color, efficiency, and control you need—while keeping energy costs down and maintenance low. Shop LED light bulbs for the best mix of long life and low power draw; many last 15,000–50,000 hours and cut energy use by up to 85% compared to incandescent. You’ll also find halogen, CFL, and specialty options, plus smart light bulbs with app, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and voice control for schedules, scenes, and automation.

Pick by performance, not just watts. Use lumens for brightness, Kelvin (K) for color temperature, and CRI for color accuracy. For cozy spaces, choose 2700K–3000K “soft white.” Kitchens, garages, and workbenches often benefit from 4000K–5000K “daylight” for crisp task lighting. Match the base and shape to your fixture: common types include E26 and E12 (candelabra), GU10, GU24, and MR16; shapes include A19/A21 (general), BR30 and PAR38 (recessed/flood), globe, Edison/filament styles, and T8/T5 tubes.

Get the features you need:
- Dimmable LEDs that work with your existing dimmer (check compatibility lists).
- Enclosed-fixture and damp/wet-rated bulbs for bathrooms, porches, and outdoor security.
- Motion-activated and dusk‑to‑dawn bulbs for convenience and safety.
- 3‑way bulbs for multi-level brightness.
- High‑lumen “corn” or high‑bay bulbs for tall ceilings and warehouses.
- Low‑voltage 12V MR16 or landscape bulbs; verify transformer compatibility.

For retrofits, tube lights are available in plug‑and‑play (uses existing ballast) or ballast‑bypass (direct wire) versions—great for upgrading fluorescent to LED. Look for flicker‑free drivers, high CRI (90+) for true color, shatter‑resistant designs for shops, and UL/ETL listings for safety. If you still use CFLs, recycle responsibly due to mercury content.

Buy replacement light bulbs with confidence: measure your fixture, check the maximum wattage, confirm bulb length/diameter, and choose the beam angle (spot vs flood) that suits your space. From smart bulbs to energy‑saving LEDs and outdoor floodlights, find lighting that works as hard as you do.
