For all your lamp, tube, and bulb needs, we stock a diverse range that will allow you to find the product that best suits your needs. This category has a huge variety of commonly known lamps such as traditional GLS bulbs and incandescent candle lamps as well as products that are designed for specific fittings such as miniature bulbs and pygmy lamps. We have a selection of discharge lamps, which are ideal for industrial applications in fittings such as floodlights and high bays for factories. If you would like to add an antique and stylish look to your room, view our vintage range of bulbs, which are perfect for decorative fittings.
Additionally, we have a large collection of light bulbs, cheap fluorescent tubes which are available in many different shapes, sizes, wattages, colour temperatures, and colours giving you an extensive selection to choose from. For any further information on our stock please don’t hesitate to contact one of our sales team today.
Incandescent bulbs have a life expectancy of 1,200 hours and fluorescent bulbs have a life expectancy of 10,000 hours; however, LED light bulbs can last up to 25,000 hours.
Which is Brighter: LED or Fluorescent Lumens?
The main difference is that LEDs can produce the same degree of brightness at far lower wattages than fluorescent counterparts. While overall brightness - measured in lumens - may be comparable between identical LED and CFL lamps when compared in a single measurement, the LED version achieves this brightness at a much lower rate of energy consumption, heat generation, and day-to-day operating costs.
Which bulb is cheaper: LED or Fluorescent?
To begin with, the initial cost of LEDs is often slightly greater. However, as this newer technology gets more widely used, the initial cost gap is rapidly declining.
LED tubes are so much more efficient and cost-effective. LEDs are significantly less expensive in terms of energy costs because they consume far less wattage to provide the same brightness output as their fluorescent counterparts. Additionally, because of the lower power usage, LED tube lights produce less heat and can live anywhere from 3-5 times longer than a comparable CFL version.
How can I tell how bright fluorescent bulbs are?
On the package of fluorescent bulbs, the comparable standard wattage is listed which provides the brightest of the bulb.
How bright are LED bulbs?
The amount of visible light emitted by a LED lamp is measured in lumens (lm). It is a far more accurate means of determining a bulb's brightness because it is a measure of its output, as opposed to the watts, which just indicates the power input.
What size of bulb do I need?
You must determine if you are referring to the type of cap or the size of the glass. If you mean cap, you'll need to look at the light fitting's specifications or, if you already have the light, the lamp holders themselves.
