Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming with all the choices of lighting options. Here are bulb suggestions for a few fixtures listed below.
Floor or Table Lamp
The best bulb suggestion for a lamp is generally a basic closed-A shape. But some floor and table lamps may have more specialized requirements.
Pendant Fixtures
Pendant fixtures generally expose part of the bulb, so it is best to choose a bulb that looks good and gives off the correct lighting. Globe and traditional bulb shapes are very popular with pendant fixtures.
Wall Sconce
Usually smaller and decorative. They often pair well with narrow shapes, such as tube or flame bulbs.
Ceiling Fixtures
These fixtures are generally enclosed, so bulb appearance isn’t important. It is best to choose the bulb with the longest lifespan that can fit in the fixture.
Chandelier or Decorative Fixtures
Choose an attractive bulb shape like a torpedo tip or flaming tip to enhance the beauty of a Chandelier or Decorative Fixtures.
A Light Bulb's Base is Also Important
A light bulb's base also comes in a variety of styles and shapes. The base is especially important, as it will dictate compatibility with a fixture. If you are replacing a bulb in an existing fixture be sure and match the same base.
