LED Decorative Light Bulbs
LED decorative light bulbs are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Designed to match traditional decorative shapes, these LED bulbs replicate the same decorative glow as their incandescent counterparts while using a fraction of the energy and lasting far longer. LED decorative bulbs are available in a variety of shapes, wattage, and color temperatures. Bulbs with a high color rendering index, or CRI, of 90 or higher are ideal for applications where color fidelity is important. CRI is the measurement of how accurately a bulb displays colors compared to the midday sun. The higher the CRI, the better the color accuracy.
Color and Color Temperature Options
Color temperature is measured in Kelvin and tells you how warm or cool the light emitted from a light bulb will appear. The lower a bulb's Kelvin rating is, the warmer and more yellow the light appears. The higher the Kelvin, the cooler and bluer the light. Kelvin color temperatures 3500K and lower emit a warm white light that's designed to resemble the light of halogen or incandescent bulbs. 4000K and higher are cooler lights.
Can I Use this Bulb Outside?
Bulbs rated for wet locations can be used anywhere outside, except in enclosed fixtures unless otherwise stated. If a light bulb is rated for damp locations, it can be used outdoors if it is protected from direct exposure to water or inclement weather, such as a sheltered porch or an enclosed fixture if rated for enclosed fixtures. Dry location bulbs can only be used indoors. Be sure to check the UL rating listed under the Specifications section on each product page.
