B10 LED Bulb

Type-B LED light bulbs are those that consist of a bullet tip or blown tubular shape. Some type B bulbs have an angular or "flame tip" that is slightly slanted to resemble the shape of a candle flame. Most LED B10 bulbs have an average width of 1.38 inches. Usually, type-B light bulbs come in various sizes that range from 3.75 to 4.72 inches in length:

• A B10 lightbulb is a bullet tip shaped bulb that has an average length of 3.12 inches.
• B11 light bulbs are slightly larger at around 3.75 inches and are more tapered towards the end compared to a B10 bulb.
• B13 bulbs are some of the largest type-B models, measuring around 4.25 inches long. These bulbs are usually only compatible with certain types of decorative light fixtures.

B10 lightbulbs are usually installed in decorative lighting fixtures such as pendant lights or chandeliers. Larger sizes of type-b light bulbs can sometimes be utilized in table lamps or larger pendant lighting when the level of brightness within the room is a more of a priority.

Candelabra is a style type that refers to the candle flame shape of some type B light bulbs. Depending on the manufacturer, some candelabra light bulbs will feature a slanted or flame-like tip to best fit the illusion of a flame.

The glass outer casing of some B10 candelabra bulbs can also have a warm yellow tint that reacts with emitted light to resemble the glow of a candle flame. B10 bulbs with a candelabra design are usually placed in enclosed light fixtures as decorative elements to additional lighting.

B10 light bulbs sold at HomElectrical are LED systems that can produce more light at a higher efficiency compared to standard incandescent bulbs. Models of B10 lightbulbs can range from 2.5W to 5.5W, with some models having the ability to produce up to 500 lumens. Your desired level of brightness will depend on the wattage amounts of each lightbulb.

Lower wattage B10 LED light bulbs are typically used in chandeliers or pendant lighting to provide a soft ambient light while higher wattage B10 light bulbs can be used in applications to create general illumination.

LED B10 light bulbs are commonly used in home-based applications but can be placed in any location with compatible fixtures. Some models are also damp location listed, meaning they can be placed in a location where moisture could be present, such as a bathroom.

If your selected model of B10 lightbulbs are dimmable, the feature may be listed in the product description on the back of the packaging of the lightbulb. If you have trouble determining whether the B10 bulb is dimmable, there may be other areas in which this feature could be identified:

• Sometimes manufacturers will label a B10 bulb as “dimmable” within the product label that can be located on the back of the packaging, or in the form of a sticker that is placed on the lightbulb.
• You can also find your selected light bulb’s compatibility features within the product details listed here at HomElectrical.com. You can search for your specific lightbulb by brand, type, or size to receive the most updated information on your product.
• In some cases, brands will use icons to indicate a lightbulb’s compatibility with certain fixtures. Certain lightbulbs may be marked with a wavy line symbol to distinguish between dimmable and non-dimmable features.

B10 lightbulbs can be placed in covered outdoor locations if they are rated for outdoor or “damp area” use. This rating suggests that the lightbulb will be durable enough to withstand exposure to potentially harmful elements in the area such as humidity or direct moisture in some cases.

You can find the status of your B10 lightbulb’s rating by specific wording listed in the product description or packaging label. B10 lightbulbs can be marked as “outdoor”, “damp-rated”, or “UL Listed for Damp Locations”.
