Picking the right lightbulb can be difficult nowadays, with so many parameters to keep in mind. This guide will suggest the most appropriate bulb and wattage for each type of luminaire (light fitting) commonly used at home.
A few simple guidelines:
• Frosted or opaque shade: use clear lightbulb
• Transparent, semi-transparent or no shade: use frosted lightbulb
• Dimmers, timers & sensors: use incandescent or halogen lamp
• Low to medium lumen mood lighting: use incandescent or halogen lamp
• High lumen (> 800) outdoor or utility light > 8 hours/day: use LED lamp
