Light Bulbs

There are hundreds and hundreds of bulbs on the market, at The Light Company we have tried to sift through the minefield of bulbs and give you those that can offer the results you need.

We have many other specialist bulbs available. If you need something not listed please email details and we'll get a quote back to you.

Bulbs are sold in packs to give you added value, all of our lights show the bulbs that you need to have with the fitting so that you can order them and spares to complete your project.

In today's world the bulb wattage is almost irrelevant, what will determine the light output, or the brightness of the light is by looking at the lumen output - the higher the number lumens the brighter the bulb. LED bulbs in particular can have a big variation of lumen output, the older bulbs may have a higher wattage but have a lower lumen output which as technology has progressed has meant the styles have changed and so has the brightness of the bulbs. Also check if you need them to be dimmable.

We have listed the bulbs in the main household categories, halogen, LED, incandescent and flourescent, many of these power types will have many shapes available in the range for you to choose from including golf ball bulbs, vintage bulbs & candle bulbs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Light Bulbs for Sale Online

What brightness level do I need for my room?


Brightness levels for light bulbs are measured in lumens. Aim for 800 to 1,600 lumens for general room lighting. Higher-lumen bulbs (1,600+) are ideal for task lighting, like reading or cooking.

How long do light bulbs typically last?


LED bulbs last up to 25,000 hours, CFL bulbs last around 8,000 hours, and incandescent bulbs last about 1,000 hours. Longevity varies based on usage and bulb quality.

Are all light bulbs compatible with dimmer switches?


Not all light bulbs are dimmable. Look for dimmable LED or CFL bulbs specifically designed with dimmer switches. Incandescent bulbs are usually dimmable, but their energy efficiency is lower.

What type of light bulb should I use for my fixture?


Consider the fixture type and desired lighting. LED bulbs are versatile and energy-efficient, CFL bulbs offer soft light, and halogen bulbs are bright but less efficient. Check the fixture's wattage rating and bulb base type for compatibility.

How do I choose the right colour temperature for my bulb?


Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K). For a warm, cozy atmosphere, choose bulbs with a color temperature of 2,700K to 3,000K. For bright, clear light, go for bulbs with 4,000K to 5,000K.
