Can I put an LED filament bulb in any lamp?

LED bulbs can be installed in any fixture as long as the bulb uses less wattage than the fixture.

Why are my LED bulbs failing?

One of the primary reasons for LED bulbs failing is due to improper thermal management. When installed in an enclosed fixture, make sure to look for a bulb approved for enclosed spaces.

How long do LED filament bulbs last?

These bulbs can anywhere from 15,000 hours to 40,000 hours.

Do LED filament bulbs get hot?

LED filament bulbs generate heat however contain small LED chips or thermally conductive gas inside of the bulb, allowing them to dissipate heat and operate safely without getting too hot.

What is the difference between LED and LED filament bulbs?

Traditional LEDs use heat sinks to dissipate heat generated from the bulb. They can only illuminate light 180 degrees because of their design. LED filament bulbs contain a thermally conductive gas inside of the bulb instead of a heat sink. This gas allows the bulb to dissipate heat safely while illuminating 360 degrees, replicating an incandescent bulb.

Learn about LED Filament Bulbs

LED light bulbs (light-emitting diode) are made to look like incandescent filament bulbs. These bulbs emit a warm orange light, while using a fraction of the electricity of an incandescent bulb. They give a lighting atmosphere that many people find pleasing, while saving on your energy bill.

LED filament bulbs are made as replicas of many classic antique light bulbs. Look for bulbs that suit the style and mood of the room you are lighting. For replacing incandescents, look for a similar amount of lumens, a measure of how much light a bulb produces. Here is a guide:

100W incandescent = 1600 lumen LED
75W incandescent = 1100 lumen LED
60W incandescent = 800 lumen LED
40W incandescent = 450 lumen LED

Saves energy, and lasts longer, than either incandescent or fluorescent light bulbs. A 1600 lumen LED bulb, that can replace a 100 Watt incandescent, will use only about 15 Watts!

It is estimated that by 2027, widespread switching to LEDs worldwide could save about 348 TWh of electricity annually. This is the equivalent annual electrical output of 44 large electric power plants (1000 megawatts each), and a total savings of more than $50 billion per year at today's electricity prices.
