Lighting for facilities, vehicles and the job: lamps and bulbs, light fixtures, and flashlights and work lights. Facility managers use this section to replace failed lamps and upgrade older fixtures to LED, while contractors and maintenance techs stock flashlights, headlamps and portable work lights for dark ceilings, crawl spaces and night work.

How to choose lighting

  • Match the base and shape. Replacement lamps must fit the socket (such as E26 medium or G13 bi-pin) and the fixture's space. Check the old lamp before you order.
  • Check LED tube compatibility. LED tubes come in types that work with the existing ballast, bypass it, or support both. Ballast-bypass work changes the fixture wiring and should be done by a qualified electrician.
  • Pick the right color temperature. Around 2700K to 3000K looks warm, 4000K is neutral for offices and shops, and 5000K is a cooler daylight look common in warehouses.
  • Compare lumens, not watts. Lumens measure light output. LEDs produce similar light at far lower wattage than incandescent or fluorescent lamps.
  • Look at the environment. Wet, damp, cold or hazardous locations need fixtures and work lights rated for them. Hazardous location ratings should be confirmed against your site's requirements.
  • Portable lights. For work lights, consider battery platform, run time and impact resistance.

Common questions

Can I put an LED tube in my fluorescent fixture?

Often yes, but it depends on the tube type and your ballast. Plug-and-play tubes work with compatible ballasts, while ballast-bypass tubes require rewiring by a qualified person. Follow the lamp maker's instructions.

What does color temperature mean on a bulb?

It describes how warm or cool the light looks, measured in kelvin (K). Lower numbers look yellow-white and higher numbers look blue-white.

How long do LED bulbs last?

LED lamps are typically rated for many more hours than incandescent or fluorescent lamps, but actual life depends on heat, fixture type and use. Check the rated life on the lamp's packaging or data sheet.
