Pro-tips

  • Check the LED package to see if the bulb is dimmable. For best results, choose a dimmer switch that is labeled to work with LEDs.
  • E26 is a standard medium base and E12 is a candelabra base.

Step 2: Choose the brightness

Lumens

Lumens is the new watt. Lumens measure the brightness of light output, watts determine the energy used. Look below to find the approximate lumen count for an equivalent a-lamp incandescent. Lumen equivalents for specialty lamps (reflector, candelabra and globe) will vary slightly from the below.

Step 3: Choose the color

Kelvin (k) measures color. The lower the Kelvin, the more yellow the light. If you want the feel of incandescent lighting, look for 2700k.
