Lamps | bulbs

Light bulbs are an essential part of lighting, used in both residential and commercial spaces. This product group includes various socket types, bulb constructions, their usage methods, and functions. Below are detailed descriptions that will help understand the types of bulbs and their properties.

Sockets
Sockets are the base of the bulb, allowing it to connect to the electrical network. Each socket type is designed for a specific bulb model, so it is important to choose the right socket. The most common sockets are:
Edison (E):

E27: Standard 27 mm socket size, often used for home lighting.
E14: Smaller 14 mm socket size, commonly used in decorative bulbs.
GU (G):

GU10: This socket is used in LED and halogen bulbs, easy to screw in and remove.
G4, G9: Used in smaller, compact bulbs, mostly for decorative lighting.
BA:

BA15d: 15 mm socket with two contact points, often used in car and bicycle lights.
Types of Bulbs
Bulbs can be classified based on their construction, technology used, and application area:
LED Bulbs:
Energy-efficient, long-lasting (up to 25,000 hours), quick to light up, available in various shapes and sizes. Suitable for all types of lighting—from general to decorative.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL):
Energy-saving, quick to light up, long-lasting (up to 15,000 hours), but requiring a bit of time to fully turn on. Often used in general lighting solutions.

Halogen Bulbs:
Good light quality and color rendering index, used in both homes and commercial spaces. They generate a lot of heat, so they may not be as energy-efficient as LEDs or CFLs.

Traditional Bulbs (Incandescent):
The first commercial lighting source, produces light through heating. Low efficiency, short lifespan (about 1,000 hours), but a warm light tone.

Usage Methods
Bulbs can be used in various ways, depending on their type and design:
General Lighting:
For example, LED bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps used in living spaces.

Decorative Lighting:
LED strips, spiral bulbs that highlight architectural elements.

Accent Lighting:
For example, GU10 bulbs used in kitchens or bathrooms.

Garden and Outdoor Lighting:
Special outdoor bulbs, weather-resistant, LED solar lights.

Selection Criteria
When choosing bulbs, it is important to pay attention to:
Energy Efficiency: LED bulbs are among the most efficient.
Light Temperature: Warm, neutral, or cold light, depending on the environment and mood.
Lifespan: The longer the lifespan, the lower the replacement costs.
Design: The shape, size, and socket type of the bulb should match the style of the interior or exterior.
Conclusion
Light bulbs are an important part of lighting, available in many types and variants. By selecting the right socket and bulb type, it is possible to create both functional and aesthetic lighting that meets everyone’s needs.
