I think the lightbulb industry creates intentionally confusing and endless combinations of bulb types, bases, and wattages to confused consumers into buying the wrong bulbs. Down with big lightbulb!
That's why LED is the only way to go

dammit man I had to get some a while back and now instead of watts they use LED watts or lumens.
ffs I just want a 60 watt soft white bulb for my lamp so I can read, not 27.3 lumens with a weird yellow hepatitis tinge
shut up future boy
So I've got this light fixture in my entry way. The base says '40 Watts Type G, 120V 60hz' and that's about it. I dont have any paperwork from the fixture, the bulbs themselves don't say. I'm on a lightbulb website right now are there 18 fucking types of Type G bulbs with random numbers ranging from G3.5 to G30. I'm going to hang myself from this fixture.dammit man I had to get some a while back and now instead of watts they use LED watts or lumens.

I was in the same spot. My parents have this old track lighting in their kitchen. Pretty cool actually as each light pot can be removed and there's no wires or connectors.
But hells bells I had to go to a bulb website that had bulb silhouettes and try to match their cool 1979 track lighting bulbs to the current LED counterpart. I felt like I was picking a suspect out of a line up.
I still have the light pot on the dining room table because I hear 2 out of 3 ain't bad
I use 60 watts in small lamps and 100 watts in larger living room lamps etc.
I would think you need the equivalent of 100 watts overhead, no?
Well it's a fixture with 6 bulbs total so I don't know how that all adds up to lumen output, but it puts out a fair bit of light... when half the bulbs aren't dead

Oh...so it's a Close Encounters runwayWell it's a fixture with 6 bulbs total so I don't know how that all adds up to lumen output, but it puts out a fair bit of light... when half the bulbs aren't dead
got it
I'll pretend I understand that reference
G type miniature bulbs are found in many applications including: auto indicator and instrument, aircraft and marine. The number after the 'G' is the diameter of the glass in 1/8 inch increments. A G5 bulb, for example, has a diameter of 5/8 of an inch.
Right, thanks. I got out a tape measure and measured the base and bulb. I believe it's a G16.5 with a medium base. That's what I ordered on Amazon, so fingers crossed.
Fkn kidsI'll pretend I understand that reference
Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Movie from the late 70's that might have made 100 bucks or so at the box office?
