FAQs
What does BC stand for?
BC stands for Bayonet Cap, which is a type of light bulb socket and base.
Are these bulbs dimmable?
These are standard incandescent GLS bulbs and are generally dimmable with compatible dimmer switches, though performance may vary.
How many bulbs are in this pack?
This pack contains 10 Eveready 40W BC Pearl GLS light bulbs.
What is the lifespan of these bulbs?
Incandescent bulbs typically have a shorter lifespan compared to LED or fluorescent bulbs. Specific lifespan varies but is generally in the range of 1000 hours.
Can I use these bulbs outdoors?
These bulbs are designed for indoor use only. Using them outdoors may pose a safety risk.
What is the difference between a pearl finish and a clear bulb?
A pearl finish diffuses the light, creating a softer, less direct illumination, while a clear bulb allows for a more direct and potentially brighter light with less diffusion.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the light switch is on. Check that the bulb is securely screwed into the BC fitting. Try the bulb in a different, known working fixture to rule out issues with the original fixture.
Bulb flickers
Check that the bulb is firmly seated in the socket. A loose connection can cause flickering. If flickering persists, the bulb may be nearing the end of its life or there could be an issue with the fixture's wiring.

Compatibility: These bulbs are compatible with any light fixture specifically designed for a BC (Bayonet Cap) type bulb. Always check your fixture's requirements before purchasing.
Care: Handle bulbs with care to avoid breakage. When changing bulbs, ensure they have cooled down if they have been recently used. These bulbs are intended for indoor use only.
