I don’t know, i don’t know what kind of light bulb to get, there’s like 57 dozen varieties and I don’t want to start a fire
My dad’s just like “yup that’s a standard 800 lumen bulb”
(That’s not my hand btw)
I know opsec is important, but you don’t need to go cutting off stranger’s hands to hold things in pictures.
“If i couldn’t tell what kind of lightbulb to get I simply wouldn’t embarrass myself by posting” yeah well that’s the difference between me and you, isn’t it
The standard size screw in North America is E26, same as this bulb, an Edison screw with a 26mm diameter. If your fixture or lamp is different from that, it’s going to be way different and is probably looking for one of those candelabra bulbs, probably an E12. It will be labeled on the lamp.
As long as it fits in your fixture, you can pretty much use any LED bulb that screws in. The real wattage is what matters, not which incandescent bulb has the same size or light output.
I replaced all the bulbs in my place with tuneable ZigBee smart bulbs, and I use a piece of software called Adaptive Lighting to change the brightness and color temperature of all the lights throughout the day in order to better support a healthy circadian rhythm. It’s been helpful for our sleep cycle and depression!
Get 100W equivalents and look for warm temperatures (2000k - 4000k). I personally don’t like cool bulbs, as they make things look flat.
if we change the sun to a cooler one will Earth become flat?
Yes, and please hurry. I’m tired of tripping over stuff
What if i like harsh white lights that illuminate details you wish you didn’t even notice in things
Go full industrial florescent lighting, with ballasts that buzz louder than should be possible. 1000W for a small bedroom should fo the trick. make sure you get bulbs that are as cool as possible so you can get headaches too
Just replying here to second what hexthismess has said. I replaced a bulb with an LED labeled as “bright white” that is 3000K and it is a nice warm temperature to my eyes. It is advertised as 60W equivalent, with the LED pulling 9W. If you got a 100W equivalent bulb in 5000K, probably labeled as “daylight” or such, you’d get ice-chewing psycho levels of harsh white illumination for 17W draw.
I don’t think you’d start a fire or anything because you can check the lamp or outlet and they’ll say whatever it’s rated for and old incandescents were a lot more power hungry. I’d definitely go for LED, the energy saving, lifespan, and less energy released as heat makes up for the cost difference. Compact fluorescent lights were a good upgrade from incandescent but with LEDs now I don’t see the point.

My dad came by and traded me some lightbulbs for some rosemary that he wants to burn for my mom’s cancer and I’m basically learning that nobody knows what the fuck they’re talking about re: lightbulbs and I know JUST ENOUGH to know that about them
yes let me put this bulb that says “not for fully enclosed luminaires” in this fully enclosed socket, replacing another bulb also labeled as not being safe for enclosed spaces
“not for fully enclosed luminaires” is printed on all commercially available globe light bulbs, it’s one of those CYA phrases like “Caution: coffee may be hot” or “this dildo is sold as a novelty only.”
Essentially it’s the company covering in case the bulb burns out earlier than the listed lifespan due to heat.
doesn’t matter, won’t happen, but at least you’ll have chicken
