What Are A-Series Bulbs?
A-series light bulbs are the classic light bulb type used in many home-lighting options. These are the pear-shaped bulbs with the Edison screw style base most people think of when they are looking for a light bulb. Historically, A-series light bulbs were incandescent in design, but recent legislation and a renewed focus on energy efficiency caused the Type A LED light bulb to become an increasingly popular option.
LED bulbs allow electrons to pass through light-emitting diode semiconductors, releasing energy as light. This is one of the most efficient ways to turn energy into light, creating less heat and energy than CFL and incandescent bulbs.
Choosing the Right A-Type LED Bulb
If you are looking for a bulb to replace an A-type bulb in your home or office, understanding how they are named and the different types that are available will help you choose the right one.
A-type bulbs are typically named with the letter A followed by a number. The number indicates the diameter of the bulb in one-eighth of an inch. So, an A19 bulb is an A-type bulb that is 2.375 inches in diameter, which is typically the size used in household lamps.
In addition to the diameter measurement, LED lamps are measured in wattages. LED light bulbs are a smaller wattage than incandescent bulbs, but give off the same amount of light. A-type LED light bulbs available from Lightbulb Wholesaler range in power from 6.5 watts to 13 watts. Bulbs can also vary in the color temperature, with a range from 2700K to 5000K.
Most LED A-type lamps have the screw-in Edison style base, but Lightbulb Wholesaler also stocks twist-lock base bulbs. Most are omnidirectional lights, which spreads light evenly in all directions, but wide-beam designs are also available. You can also choose between bulbs that let off a continuous power and bulbs that work in dimmable lamps and switches.
Phasing Out Incandescent A-Type Bulbs
Recent legislation has made it harder to find incandescent A-type bulbs for common household uses. These Type A LED light bulbs are an ideal replacement for the hard-to-find incandescent bulbs. They offer greater energy efficiency while maintaining the standard a-shape look that is lost in the twisted style CFL bulbs. This allows them to be used in lights where the coiled bulbs are not a good fit.
