A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right One
If you’re in the market for LED lights, you may have come across terms like E27, E14, GU10, MR16, G4, and G9. These terms refer to the bases or caps (sockets) that are used to connect the LED bulbs to the lighting fixtures. Choosing the right base or cap is important to ensure that your LED lights function properly and provide the desired level of illumination. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at each of the types of light bulbs and their respective bases or caps.
Standard Spherical E27
The E27 base is one of the most common bases for light bulbs. It has a diameter of 27 millimeters and is used for standard spherical bulbs. These bulbs are often used for general lighting purposes and can range from low-wattage bulbs for accent lighting to high-wattage bulbs for task lighting.
Spherical Candle E14
The E14 base is similar to the E27 base, but with a smaller diameter of 14 millimeters. It’s used for spherical candle bulbs, which are often used for decorative lighting purposes. These bulbs are typically low-wattage and provide a warm and cozy ambiance to a space.
GU10
The GU10 base is a type of twist-and-lock base that’s commonly used for spotlight bulbs. It has two pins that are 10 millimeters apart and is used for bulbs with a narrow beam angle. These bulbs are often used for task lighting in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where bright and focused illumination is required.
MR16
The MR16 base is similar to the GU10 base, but with a smaller diameter of 16 millimeters. It’s also used for spotlight bulbs, but with a wider range of beam angles. These bulbs are often used for accent lighting in art galleries, museums, and other spaces where a focused beam of light is required.
G4
The G4 base is a type of bi-pin base that’s commonly used for miniature bulbs. It has two pins that are 4 millimeters apart and is used for bulbs with low wattage. These bulbs are often used for accent lighting in displays, cabinets, and other small spaces.
G9
The G9 base is similar to the G4 base, but with a larger diameter of 9 millimeters. It’s used for bulbs with a slightly higher wattage and is often used for accent lighting in larger spaces.
