How do you *KNOW* what size light bulb to use in a light fixture?
I’m living in a rental house with a lot of different ceiling fixtures and a lot of different size light bulbs that I need to replace– it’s getting dark in here! Some are chandeliers and ceiling fans with small candle-like bulbs. I also have light fixtures with two traditional shaped light bulbs in them.
How do I *KNOW FOR SURE* what “size” bulbs to use in each fixture– that is, what wattage? Like 40 or 60W candle bulbs or 60, 75, or 100W traditional bulbs? I want the most, brightest light possible (for good Christmas photos!), perhaps even if it costs more– but I want it to be safe and fire-resistant.
Also, the new fancy energy efficient and enviromentally correct bulbs aren’t available for these little ceiling fan and chandelier candle-flame bulbs, right???
Thank you in advance!!!
And I would appreciate any more suggestions in this area.
Under the globe or somewhere on the fixture is a piece of paper that has the bulb rating which will tell you what wattage not to exceed. It’s the UL rating. Also the candle bulbs have a different size thread. For that take a bulb with you and match it,but for the wattage check the sticker for the correct wattage.
