Look for the light bulb code and light bulb base code on your lighting fixture.

All light bulbs will have the wattage rating printed somewhere on the glass or on the metal collar of the bulb.

The three types of light bulbs are incandescent, fluorescent, and LEDs.

Yes, there are both dimmable and non-dimmable LED light bulbs on the market.

You may be using a non-dimmable light bulb. The circuitry inside non-dimmable LEDs cannot handle special phase forms and are designed to either be fully powered ON or OFF.

You can use an LED bulb in an existing fixture as long as the socket, or mounting base, is the same size and type. However, if the LED wattage is higher than the fixture recommends, you cannot use it.

If you’re looking for warm light, choose 2,700K-3,000K. If you’re looking for cool light, choose 3,500K-4,100K. If you’re looking for daylight, choose 5,000K-6,500K.

LED lights are the brightest lights because they are the most energy efficient and offer a brighter light for the same wattage. Quality LED fixtures output around 170 lumens per watt while a fluorescent light only puts out around 110 lumens per watt.
