About Replacing Tubular Fluorescent Light Bulbs

About Light Appearance

About Brightness

Spiral

Medium (Standard Household)

Use these bulbs in standard sockets, panels, and appliances. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are commonly used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool or daylight appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly energy cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

CFL (compact fluorescent) bulbs are more energy efficient and last longer than halogen bulbs. It takes several seconds for them to reach full brightness. They contain small amounts of mercury (for disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl).

Silicone-coated glass and plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter-resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they do break.

Bulbs that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to energy efficiency requirements, mercury regulations, and product registration requirements.

Twist-and-Lock Base Light Bulbs

Spiral

These bulbs lock into GU24 light sockets with a twist. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

CFL (compact fluorescent) bulbs are energy efficient but take several seconds to reach full brightness. They contain small amounts of mercury (for disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl). These bulbs cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency and mercury regulations.

Two-Pin Wedge Base Plug-In Compact Light Bulbs

Often used in task lights, these bulbs are comparable to PL, Dulux, and Biax bulbs. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are often used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool light appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

CFL (compact fluorescent) bulbs are energy efficient, but take several seconds to reach full brightness. They cannot be sold to the listed areas because they do not meet local efficiency standards and exceed local regulatory limits on mercury (for disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl). Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they break.
