The Different Types of Commercial Light Bulbs
The light bulb types suitable for your business depend on your industry and what you want to achieve. Mr. Electric of Northwest Houston's team of electricians is happy to help you make the best choice for your business' lighting. Check out your options:
- Incandescent - These bulbs use older technology, making them less efficient than newer bulb options. Incandescent bulbs are best suited for task lighting that requires high brightness. The main types of incandescent light bulbs are general service/standard, xenon, and reflectorized. The Department of Energy has mandated that incandescent light bulbs produce the same amount of light using less wattage than before 2012.
- Halogen - Halogen light bulbs are twice as efficient as incandescent bulbs and produce bright white light. These lights are commonly used in outdoor applications like stadium lighting and security upgrades.
- Fluorescent - The most commonly used commercial lighting solution is fluorescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), which use substantially less electricity than incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent bulbs last 10 times as long and produce the same amount of light as incandescent lights. Using CFLs in standard light sockets can save energy compared to incandescent bulbs. Be careful to dispose of fluorescents properly as they contain mercury.
- HID/Metal Halide - High-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs are considered an extremely efficient option for large spaces requiring bright light. HID lights do not produce pleasant colors and are typically only used in commercial and industrial applications or warehouses – not residences.
- LED - These light bulbs last longer and use less energy than other types. Light-emitting diodes use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and will burn for about 35 to 50 times as long.
