All Light Bulbs & Lamp Bulbs

What is the most energy efficient light bulb for commercial use?

LED bulbs are by far the most energy efficient option available and are the most popular choice among our trade customers. They use significantly less energy than traditional halogen bulbs, last much longer and are available across all major cap fittings, making them a straightforward swap for almost any fitting. For large scale projects, switching to LED across the board can deliver significant savings on energy bills.

What is the difference between warm white and cool white light bulbs?

Warm white bulbs (typically around 2700K to 3000K) emit a soft, amber-toned light that creates a cosy, relaxed atmosphere, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms and hospitality settings. Cool white bulbs (around 4000K and above) produce a crisper, brighter light that works well in offices, kitchens and commercial spaces where clarity and focus are important. Daylight bulbs sit at the higher end of the scale and are often used in workspaces and retail environments.

What are filament bulbs best used for?

Filament bulbs, sometimes called Edison bulbs, are decorative bulbs that expose the glowing filament as a design feature. They work beautifully in industrial, vintage and rustic interior schemes and are particularly popular in hospitality settings such as bars, restaurants and boutique hotels. All of our filament bulbs are available as energy efficient LEDs, so you don't have to compromise on aesthetics to achieve good energy performance.

What cap fitting do I need for my light bulb?

The most common cap fittings in the UK are bayonet (B22) and Edison screw (E27), which are used in most standard lamps and ceiling fittings. Smaller fittings such as candle bulbs and golf ball bulbs often use a small Edison screw (E14). GU10 bulbs are used in recessed downlights and spotlights, while G9 bulbs are typically found in smaller decorative fittings and wall lights. If you're unsure which fitting you need, check the existing bulb or the fitting specification.

Can I buy light bulbs in bulk for a full development?

Absolutely. Buying bulbs in bulk is one of the most common requirements for our trade customers, particularly property developers and facilities managers fitting out multiple units at once. Our wholesale bulb pricing means the more you order, the better the value, and our straightforward trade ordering process makes it easy to stock up on everything you need in a single order.
