FAQs
What is the cap type of these bulbs?
These bulbs have a BC (Bayonet Cap) fitting.
How many bulbs are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 light bulbs.
What is the wattage of these bulbs?
Each bulb is 25W.
Can I use these bulbs in a shaded lamp?
While possible, their clear candle shape is best suited for fixtures where the bulb is visible. For shaded lamps, a frosted or opal bulb might provide more diffused light.
Are these bulbs dimmable?
These standard incandescent bulbs are generally dimmable, provided the light fitting and dimmer switch are compatible with incandescent technology.
What is the expected lifespan of these bulbs?
The lifespan varies based on usage, but standard incandescent bulbs typically last around 1,000 hours.
Are these bulbs energy-efficient?
No, these are traditional incandescent bulbs and are not considered energy-efficient compared to LED or CFL alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the light switch is on. Check that the bulb is screwed in securely. Test the bulb in a different, known working light fitting. Verify the power supply to the fixture is active.
Bulb flickers intermittently
Check if the bulb is screwed in tightly. Inspect the light fitting for any loose connections. The issue may stem from the lamp holder or wiring rather than the bulb itself.
