Different Types of Lightbulbs
There are quite a few different kinds of light bulbs out there so customers can sometimes find it difficult to decide which ones to buy. Different bulbs can affect the sort of lighting you'll get - so the type you need depends on whether you’re relaxing at home or trying to boost productivity at work. Here's the lowdown on the different types of bulbs so you can figure out which type is right for you:
LED Bulbs
LED bulbs are the most energy efficient option you can get at the moment. They've got low wattage and use light-emitting diodes to produce lighting. According to the Department of Energy, this means they use at least 75% less energy than incandescent lighting. They also have a very long lifespan and can last many years. While they cost a little more upfront, they can help you save on energy bills down the line.
Incandescent Bulbs
The traditional incandescent light bulb offers a warm glow. They're a great choice for many homes and fixtures because they produce a soft and cozy light that goes well with any interior design - and are particularly well suited for living rooms and bedrooms because of their comfortable ambiance.
Halogen Bulbs
Halogen bulbs are a type of incandescent bulb, but instead they're filled with halogen gas so they can work at higher temperatures and give off more intense lighting. This is why these lights are best suited to a work environment, home office or for under-cabinet lights, where stronger and more focused lighting is needed. They're more energy efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs and tend to last longer.
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs)
CFLs are an older type of bulb - but they're also affordable, energy efficient options that are available in different color temperatures such as warm white and daylight. Customers like them because they're cheap, quick to light and last up to 10 years. It's important to note that these light bulbs are becoming harder to locate, especially if you're looking for a specific size.
Smart Bulbs
Smart bulbs are an increasingly popular way of lighting your home. They have built-in technology that allows you to control them through an app on your smartphone. You can switch your bulbs on and off using the app or voice control, and play around with different lighting colors. These bulbs are very convenient, work with pretty much any type of light fitting and offer superior energy efficiency.
LED Light Bulbs vs. Incandescent Light Bulbs
LED light bulbs offer a higher level of energy efficiency than incandescent bulbs, because they convert most of their energy into light, while incandescent bulbs emit most of their energy as heat. Also, LEDs usually have a longer lifespan so need to be replaced less often than incandescents. However, LEDs cost more upfront and some customers may prefer the warm, natural lighting of a traditional incandescent bulb. At Buy Direct, we offer a range of energy efficient and long-lasting light bulbs so you can get the best of both worlds no matter what you choose.
Which Light Bulbs Are Right For Me?
The right lighting product for you depends on your preferences, budget and the setting you plan on lighting. If you value energy efficiency and longevity, LED light bulbs are the perfect solution - but you may need to pay a little more upfront. Incandescent bulbs may be preferable if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere at home because of their warm lighting.
Halogen bulbs are the ideal choice for clear, crisp light - especially when you're working, while CFLs are good if you're trying to save cash. Finally, if you want a convenient way to customize your lighting needs, smart bulbs are a great way to automate your lights and control brightness and colors.

How much wattage is required for a room?
Smaller rooms such as bathrooms usually require 40-60 watts, medium-sized rooms like bedrooms and kitchens may need around 60 to 100. Large rooms like living rooms typically need around 150 watts and higher, depending on how many bulbs you have.
