When a bulb burns out or breaks, who wants to spend hours trying to find a good replacement?
At the same time proper lighting can have a surprisingly big impact on the mood and look of your home. It always amazes me how you can change a room by just improving the method of lighting. So of course when it comes to choosing a new bulb, you want to get it right.
Whether you want to match the colour and brightness of your old bulb or upgrade your lighting there are quite a few options to consider.
The main things to look for are the shape of the bulb, brightness and colour.
Where can you find this info? Just check on the package. All you have to do is check out the Lighting Facts label located on every bulb.
Let’s look at this and make sure that you know how to pick the perfect bulb for any room in your home.
Have you ever gone to the store and bought the wrong thing? I have done this countless times, and always ended up with a mini collection of bulbs that I do not need. To be honest, I am sure if I look in my kitchen there will be a few in the cupboard that do not fit anywhere in my house.
The easiest way to avoid this is to have the right info. LEDs are available in a variety of shapes to fit a range of lamps and lighting fixtures, so there’s a lot to choose from. To be honest, I just carry the old bulb with me to the shop in my pocket. Then I get it out once in the store and hold them up against each other to compare. Gosh!
