Light Bulbs Model ST18LED101-6PK

Bright white is between white and blue (4,000 to 5,000 Kelvin). With a less cozy and more energetic feel, bulbs with this color range are best for workspaces (such as a home office or garage) and kitchens with chrome fixtures. Daylight (5,000 to 6,500 Kelvin) has a bluish tone.

Warm white is typically a lower number on the kelvin spectrum, meaning the light will have a more generous, yellower tone. Soft white is typically slightly higher on the range and will be a somewhat whiter light.

Warm light is best for the eyes. This includes filtered natural light and light produced by incandescent and LED light bulbs. Spread out the lighting in your home and workspace to ensure sufficient lighting.

Choose light bulbs or LED lights that emit light as close to white as possible—and be sure to choose bulbs with a high CRI (around 90-100) for the most accurate colors. Bulbs in the 'soft white' range of 2700K – 3000K are recommended for general bathroom use and makeup application.

A helpful rule of thumb for bathroom light is to use a minimum of two 60-watt incandescent bulbs or LED lights which typically produce approximately 800 lumens each for a total of 1,600 - 1,800 lumens.

Soft white light is ideal for makeup. Since natural daylight is the best type of light, a bulb that matches this color is the best choice.

The U.S. Department of Energy cites 70% to 80% savings with LED lights compared to other options. LED lights last up to 20 times longer than traditional bulbs. Whether you replace one light in a home or design a home entirely with LED light fixtures, you can experience tremendous energy savings.

The bottom of your lighting fixture should be about seven feet from the floor, meaning flush mount lights are best for rooms with low ceilings and semi-flush fixtures are best in rooms with eight or nine-foot ceilings

Light fixture replacement averages $70-$200 for labor. This will depend on your light fixture's location and the replacement type. The installation can run anywhere from $50 for a simple option to $1500 for a giant chandelier.

We recommend anything from a 1000-lumen LED to a 1600-lumen LED bulb to ensure it is bright and airy. It's also worth looking for more excellent temperature bulbs, as these can help to keep you alert! Some prefer a bright light when eating, whereas others prefer a more atmospheric ambiance.

It is recommended to use warm white, in other words, yellow color light, in our living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and other house rooms. Because the yellow light contains less blue light, it creates a more relaxing effect for the eyes. It is a common fact that cold colors may cause sleeping problems.

While living room lighting is a personal choice, soft white and warm white is ideal for living rooms, as they emit a warm, golden glow. Calm white and daylight bulbs, on the other hand, tend to be a little harsher and reminiscent of commercial spaces.

Since new ceiling light fixtures come with mounting hardware, replacing an existing unit is easy—even for the novice do-it-yourselfer.

The fixture still works if you reverse the wires, but the socket sleeve will be hot, and anyone touching it while changing a bulb can get shocked. When wired correctly, the socket sleeve is neutral, and only the small metal tab at the base of the socket is hot.
