Choosing the correct replacement bulb can be difficult With too much information or too little there is a good chance you will leave with the wrong bulb or indeed without any.
Things to consider when choosing are the base, the shape, the watt and the colour.
We sell LED bulbs and these can directly replace conventional bulbs with the same dimensions, Of course there are many bases but I am going to address 4 bases which seem to cover most requirements.
LED bulbs come in different strengths: 10 watt is equivalent to a 60 watt halogen and 3 watt is equivalent to 25 * ref Luceco
There are different colours. Here is a graphic illustration with 2700K being described as warm white and 4000k as cool white.
Bulb Bases
