Bulb Types/Shapes
(prices can vary based on exact needs)
Spiral
Spiral bulbs are the latest innovation in compact fluorescent
technology. By wrapping the tubes in a tight formation,
manufacturers have enabled the lamps to approximate the size of
incandescent bulbs and have achieved a more symmetrical distribution
of light. Not all spiral bulbs look like the one at left, but they
all share the low wattage, long life, and high quality light typical
of CFLs.
This particular image is courtesy of JKRL USA and is merely meant to
represent a style. Other manufacturers' lamps may show
different spiral patterns.
$6.00
"Long" CFLs
They may not be as aesthetically pleasing, but, if space is no object,
these bulbs may provide the cheapest light and often come in the widest range
of models. They are available in a variety
of tube formations such as quad, twin, triple twin, and quadruple
twin. Even though some of the newer designs have become quite small,
they are almost always at least slightly longer than regular incandescent
bulbs.
$6.00
Capsule (Bullet) Style
Short and stylish, these bulbs have more of an oval shape than
do the globes and can thus fit into almost any fixture.
$11.50
Circular
Perfect for ceiling applications, these lamps form a circle that
can hang from a fan or fit within a table lamp.
$15.00
Flood
Designed to illuminate large areas, floodlights may be used in
recessed downlights or in outdoor applications. They can make
great security lights, and the reflectors are available in a
variety of diameters.
$19.00
Globes
These bulbs come enclosed in globes of many sizes. They are
perfect for decorative purposes when a naked bulb just will not do.
$17.00
Incandescent-Shaped (A) Bulbs
They may look like ordinary hot incandescent bulbs, but check the
energy bill. They are actually CFLs in disguise.
$9.00

conditioners.

Utility Lights
Made for the portable tight squeeze and the construction area, these
lights are heavy duty and avoid the high temperature hazard presented
by incandescent utility lights.
$20.00

Encompassing a wide range of jars, domes, and spheres, these
fixtures attach to the walls for decorative and rational
reasons. Most are made to endure the harsh realities of wet locations.
$26.00
Normal (Incandescent Quality) Light
The "soft white" light that has come to be the standard for
incandescent bulbs.
Black Light
Disco will never die! This unique light "color" can change the
way people see every day objects.
Bug (Yellow) Light
This yellow light avoids becoming an insect magnet. It does not
fry them; they just stay away.
Full Spectrum (Natural) Light
Covers the entire visible spectrum to provide man-made daylight. Full
spectrum bulbs have a pleasant, stimulating, and, above all, natural
light that can battle fatigue, reduce glare and eye strain, and
portray true colors by placing objects in a proper light. Great
for battling SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), beneficial for those
with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), a blessing for those who
appreciate the value of true light and true color, and a godsend
for those who just don't see enough of the sun.
North Sky Daylight
This color simulates the cool blue of the north sky on a cloudless day.
Pink Light
This decorative light is nice for restaurant and lounge settings,
highlighting objects, and creating a different feel.
