LIght Bulbs FAQs
How do I choose the right light bulb?
Start with your fixture. Check the base size — E26 is the standard medium base, E12 is candelabra. Then match the bulb shape: A19 for most lamps and ceiling fixtures, BR30 or BR40 for recessed can lights, G25 globe for vanity fixtures. Pick lumens for brightness (800 lumens = 60W equivalent) and Kelvin for ambiance (2700K warm, 4000K neutral, 5000K daylight). Feit Electric LED bulbs list all three on the package.
What LED bulb replaces a 60-watt incandescent?
A 9W LED producing 800 lumens replaces a 60W incandescent — same brightness, up to 85% less energy.
How much energy do LED bulbs save compared to incandescent?
Feit Electric LED bulbs use up to 85% less energy than incandescent. Swapping one 60W bulb for a 9W LED saves roughly $7–$10 per year. Replace 20 bulbs and you could save $100–$150 annually. Most Feit Electric LEDs are ENERGY STAR certified.
What is the difference between soft white, bright white, and daylight bulbs?
It's color temperature, measured in Kelvin. Soft white (2700K–3000K) is warm and cozy — perfect for bedrooms and living rooms. Bright white (3500K–4100K) is clean and neutral — great for kitchens and bathrooms. Daylight (5000K–6500K) is crisp and energizing — ideal for home offices and task lighting. Many Feit Electric smart and adjustable white bulbs let you switch between all three without changing the bulb.
How long do LED light bulbs last?
Most Feit Electric LED bulbs last 15,000 to 25,000 hours — up to 25x longer than a standard incandescent. At 3 hours of daily use, that's 13 to 22 years. Estimated lifespan is printed on every Feit Electric package.
Are all LED bulbs dimmable?
No — only bulbs labeled dimmable will work on a dimmer. You also need an LED-compatible dimmer switch; old incandescent dimmers can cause flickering. Feit Electric marks dimmable bulbs clearly on the package and product listing. Feit Electric smart bulbs offer app-based dimming with no dimmer switch needed.
What is the difference between smart LED bulbs and standard LED bulbs?
Standard LEDs turn on and off with a wall switch. Smart LEDs connect to Wi-Fi so you can control brightness, color, and schedules from your phone or by voice. Feit Electric smart bulbs work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit — no hub required.
