Product Information

Fortunately, you can find these bulbs anytime you need them online. This is what an E12 bulb looks like.

As the name suggests, the E17 base has a diameter of 17 millimeters. This is typically larger than the common E12 base and smaller than the E26 base. Basically, the higher the CRI (1 to 100 scale), the more it emits light close to the sun’s natural color. So to have the highest lighting quality (90+ CRI in the real world), you want it to appear as if it’s under natural lighting. is perhaps "too warm" and may not provide sufficient brightness and color acuity. On the other hand, a 2700K color point may appear too white and stark to provide a true candle-like atmosphere. We therefore recommend a color point that provides and nice midpoint at 2400K. E39 is known as the large base or mogul base. Its typically what is used on older metal halides and high pressure sodium from 100 watts and up. The E is for Edison screw base and the 39 is 39 mm across. Larger than the standard E26 or 26 mm across.The bulb’s body is what you might think of if you’re considering the shape of a candelabra. On the other hand, experts might associate candelabra bulbs with small-sized bases. Due to the above properties, Mogul bulb bases are suitable for high-energy bulbs with a rating of 250 to 1,000 watts.

Your E12 light bulb should have a relatively high CRI, especially if you’re using it as accent lighting (focusing the light on a particular object). Ideally, a CRI of about 90 and above is perfect. Though B11 bulbs have a distinct shape, there are other details of the bulb that you should consider: Base This is the smallest of the E-type light bulb bases. It has a diameter of only 5 millimeters, making it extremely small. Therefore, the E5 base is ideal for low-wattage bulbs like nightlights and decorative ones. Bi-pin bases are also popular with energy-saving fluorescent bulbs since they require less electricity than their traditional incandescent counterparts.

Light bulb base sizes vary with the type of bulb and application. The base of a light bulb also contains information about the bulb type, and wattage, which may also indicate the maximum overall length of the bulb. a b c Oatman-Stanford, Hunter. "Let There Be Light Bulbs: How Incandescents Became the Icons of Innovation". Collectors Weekly . Retrieved 7 September 2020.

Energy Efficiency: Focus on the energy efficiency rating of the light bulb, usually indicated by the Energy Label. A higher energy efficiency rating means the bulb produces more light with less energy, saving energy and lowering operating costs. Mogul bulb bases are cast porcelain with good thermal conductivity and the ability to withstand high temperatures. Additionally, the threads have a coating meant to prevent corrosion. Eisenbraun, Blair (24 March 2011). "Left handed incandescent light bulbs?". eLightBulbs (lightbulbs.com) (blog) . Retrieved 27 July 2016. Due to their small size, they are quite affordable, which is yet another reason for their popularity.

Edison screw bulbs are renowned for their versatility and interchangeability among certain types. As long as the base size is the same, these bulbs can be interchanged with each other to achieve your desired look or amount of light. E26 and E27 When dealing with E12 light bulbs (primarily for decorative lighting), there are two things you should focus on including: Why are the two important? Well, essentially, E12 bulbs are helpful in decorative applications. So, unlike the general lighting bulbs, E12 bulbs have to yield a light of exceptional quality to best fit their designated application. The most common type of base is the E type. The E stands for Edison and indicates that the base is a screw type. The size is a simple millimeter measurement of the width.

Bulbs that use the E5 bulb base have very low brightness. Consequently, they’re not suitable for areas where brightness is vital. You can use them to set the mood in bedrooms and living rooms. Despite the considerable similarity between the E12 and E14 bulbs, you can tell the difference, and here’s how. E12 Bulbs Choosing the right base size for your bulb is crucial to facilitate the flow of electricity and mechanical connection. With the tiny difference in sizes–a few millimeters, in many cases–most buyers can confuse E12 and E14 bulbs.

LED-Ready T8 Fixtures

Specifications for all lamp mount types are defined in the following American National Standards Institute (ANSI) [12] and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) publications: Medium or standard E-type bulb bases are suitable for general lighting fixtures such as ceiling, vanity, flood, and outdoor lights. Our rule of thumb is that you should always go for LEDs, as they are the ultimate energy savers. Also, they are the way to go if you’re looking to lower your soaring electricity bills.
