All About Light Bulbs

This is the original filament-style light bulb that has been around for decades and is readily available at retail stores.

The color of the emitted light is warm and flattering, mimicking natural light. The light level is easily controlled with a variety of different wattages, and bulbs are also available in various decorative shapes.

Where white bulbs are the most common, and soften the light to help prevent eyestrain when reading, colored bulbs are also available for mood lighting.

Special use anti-vibration bulbs (also known as overhead garage door bulbs) are a good choice for high-traffic areas in multistory homes, where the bulb on one level is jarred by people walking above.
