TCP Lighting LED T25 Bulbs

A filament bulb, also referred to as a vintage style Edison bulb, features a visible internal filament. These bulbs resemble vintage incandescent style bulbs. Incandescent bulbs, however, may feature a tungsten or carbon filament which can burn out due to the heat generated by the bulb.

LED Edison bulbs feature a decorative filament consisting of a strip lined with light emitting diodes (LEDs). Additionally, LED light bulbs generate very little heat while also using a lower wattage than incandescent. This means an LED can last longer and use less energy than its inefficient incandescent counterpart.

Color temperature measures the color, or shade, of the white light emitted by a light bulb. Color temperatures can influence the feel or atmosphere of a room.

Warm white color temperatures, those around 2700K-3000K, offer a cozy, comfortable temperature best suited for living rooms, dining rooms, and hospitality locations.

4000K and 5000K offer a cooler color temperature suitable for commercial lighting applications, like offices, retail stores, or task lighting.

The candelabra base refers to an E12 candelabra base. The ‘E’ refers to an Edison screw base which consist of the standard screw-in bases commonly seen in residential light bulbs, like E12 and E26. The ‘12’ measures the diameter of the base in millimeters. So, an E12 base measures 12 millimeters in diameter.

A candelabra base differs from candelabra LED bulbs. Candelabra bulbs, also known as chandelier light bulbs, typically see use in chandeliers and other decorative lighting. These bulbs typically offer a smaller design than traditional residential bulbs and may feature a torpedo, candle, or flame style tip.
