Sylvania Bulb: A15, A21, A19 Lamp
What is an A19 bulb?
When picturing the shape of a light bulb, the A19 usually comes to mind. You may see it referred to as an upside-down pear-shaped bulb. Though A19 bulbs were originally designed for incandescent technology, you can now find a wide selection of LED versions that function at a much lower wattage. This means they consume much less power!
They often use a standard screw base, the E26 base. The E26 base, also known as the medium base, works in most residential applications. Less commonly, you may find A19 light bulbs that use an E12 candelabra or GU24 pin base. The candelabra base also works as a screw-type base but features a smaller diameter than the E26.
The number next to the ‘A’ refers to the diameter of the bulb in 1/8 of an inch so as that number increases, so does the size of the bulb.- This means an A19 bulb measures 19/8 or around 2.375 inches in diameter.
- An A15 should measure around 15/8 or 1.875 inches.
- An A21 measures around 2.625 inches around.
