r/lightbulbs

We’re in the middle of a kitchen refit. The 2nd fix for the electrics is tomorrow and I’ve still not ordered lightbulbs for the wall lights. They will be on dimmers and the dimmer switches are both trailing end leading edge compatible.
The wall lights themselves need an LED E27 lightbulb , max 10W. I’m wanting the lights to switch from bright task lighting to ambient warm light when dimmed.

The dimmer switches is a 3 dimmer panel from Dowsing & Reynolds (I know they don’t have a great rep in the sparky community), I wanted to get the Corston ones but my kitchen fitter shamed me for buying light switches at the price point (I wish I’d ignored him but here we are). Anyway D&R say total load has to be between 5-150w which I’m assuming is fine. One pendant, 6 downlights and four wall lights.

It’s an absolute minefield out there in the world of lightbulbs. I keep coming back to Philips MASTER value dimtone lights but I’m not sure whether I need to get 2700k or 3000k.

If anyone wants to offer me some advice I’d be forever grateful!

just turning off the lights after making some repairs to the walk in cooler.

I ordered these wicked cool sconces from a maker in Russia in the early days of the Pandemic. We just finished electrical work on our dining room and went to find some bulbs to fit, and no US bulbs are cutting it.

I've attached a couple of images - the measurement of the top of the socket is about 23/24 mm. I've tried doing some internet research myself, but I can't seem to find anything that seems correct. Any help is extremely appreciated!

Had the flash on by accident in the first image.

Several of these bulbs are out in my kitchen. Can anyone offer any advice for these? I have two questions.

1. How do I remove these? I’ve done some research but I can’t find this specific light fixture. I’ve heard that these bulbs may need to be pushed in before turning. When I push in, I don’t really “feel anything” happen. I also have a hard time grabbing the bulb. The lamp shade is pretty tight around the bulb and I can’t get my fingers around it. I really can only attempt to twist it by pushing on the front of the bulb but I’m worried I’m going to break the attachment point. The bulb flexes side to side inside the lamp shade but doesn’t twist, at least I have not been able to twist it.

2. Any thoughts on what type of bulb this is?

I need to replace a lightbulb in my apartment overhead lighting fixture. It looks like this, what would I search for in terms of replacement? I’ve searched LED 110-130 and am finding a lot of oven bulbs.

I was just trying to help my mom by putting a lightbulb in this lamp.
It looked like a bulb was broken off and stuck in there but once I put pliers to it (and freaking crimped it to try to turn it out) realized I think not.
But now a smaller based bulb can’t get in there.
GD!

I tried to use the pliers again to pry it back out to form but it is risking crimping it more.

Yikes! Help!

the lamp also has a button on it where you can dim/brighten the lights in three different levels and I was wondering if that meant to avoid some bulbs because on the box with certain bulbs it says do not meant for like different levels of brightness or whatever ( I'm so sorry I don't know the terms) if I could be given the most basic layman "Patrick Starfish" type answer, o will dedicate my life to making sure personas good is defeated if I can give them the knowledge I will.

Old brass lantern I bought from Facebook marketplace. Not sure which bulb to buy. Any help/advice is appreciated. Thank you

Love these new lightbulbs from strainlesslighting.com.

They are a bit expensive but so worth it. They feel soothing and beautiful on the eyes.

I’ve ordered incandescent from Amazon and they are NOWHERE near the quality of these! I’ve had some of my Strainless ones for almost a year now and they work good as new.

I have this lamp that is so cute but I can’t seem to find a lightbulb that will work. Doesn’t look like the lightbulb can screw in but that’s the only type I see at the store??? Any help or links to a lightbulb that would work would be greatly appreciated!

Help pls want to buy these but don't know what the heck they are ‼️‼️‼️‼️
