Incandescent Bulbs

Antique and Vintage Bulbs

Antique and vintage light bulbs are reproductions of turn-of-the-century lighting. Recognizable by their unique filaments, these bulbs deliver a warm glow and are a popular choice for DIY and restoration projects. Due to the low Lumen output, antique bulbs are for decorative use only.

Halogen Lights

Halogen light bulbs contain a small capsule filled with Halogen gas, which emits a bright white light. Using the same amount of power as incandescents, these lights last longer and produce a better quality light. Halogen bulbs are sensitive to the oils on your skin. These oils can cause hot spots on the lens which cause the glass to break when heated so it is recommended that you wear gloves when handling them.

Fluorescent Tubes

Fluorescent tubes produce light by making the phosphor coating inside the tube glow. Depending on the makeup of the phosphor coating, linear fluorescents can provide a higher color rendering index (CRI) to help color appear more natural. The 800 series have CRIs in the 80s while the 900 series have a high CRI of 90 or higher. Tube guards are also available to protect lamps from moisture, dust, and accidental breakage. Fluorescent tubes are suitable for use in office buildings, warehouses, workshops, and big-box retail stores.

Compact Fluorescents

CFL bulbs (compact fluorescents), are smaller versions of fluorescent lights made into a variety of shape and sizes. CFL light bulbs use less energy than incandescents while emitting a similar Lumen output. These lamps require a warmup period and most should not be paired with vacancy sensors, occupancy sensors, or photocells. The repetitive on-off cycles that occurs when paired with these technologies can shorten the life of the bulb.

High Intensity Discharge Lights (HID Lighting)

High intensity discharge lights (HID) include metal halide, high pressure sodium (HPS), and mercury vapor lights. HID light bulbs emit a large amount of light and are commonly found in parking lots, streets, and warehouse lighting. Like fluorescent bulbs, HID bulbs require a ballast to operate.
