Simply put, LEDs work by responding to electrical currents sent to them. When you mess with the voltage being sent to the bulb, it can respond by flashing and eventually dying out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For people who suffer from light-sensitive epilepsy or similar conditions, this flashing can be considered a health risk, not just harmful to the light bulb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should note, that <strong>not all dimmer switches are appropriate for use with ceiling fans, and using the wrong dimmer can be extremely dangerous<\/strong>. It puts <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-motor-hot\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1334\">strain on the fan motor<\/a>, which can cause damage, overheating, or even fires. This would also affect the LED bulb that was installed in the ceiling fan unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remote Controls&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, LED lights do not always work the way they should, if at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote controls can be a convenient option for turning on the light compared to reaching to yank a chain, but the technology can be picky about the bulb used. If your ceiling fan is operated by remote control, you may run into difficulties when switching from an incandescent bulb to an LED. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, ceiling fan remotes require more wattage to operate efficiently than LED bulbs can offer. If you are able, using a pull chain to turn on the lights is typically the best option in this scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why LED Bulbs Don&rsquo;t Last in Ceiling Fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Frustration can arise after you&rsquo;ve invested your money and time into installing a new light bulb, just for it to blow out days later. LED bulbs may seem smart, but they&rsquo;re also sensitive. Awareness of what features of your ceiling fan could hurt the bulbs is the first step to preventing the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08TM3Z67L?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41dWX4xJHrS._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"48 Pack A19 LED Bulb, 60 Watt Equivalent, Daylight 5000K, E26 Medium Base, Non-Dimmable LED Light Bulb, UL Listed\" title=\"48 Pack A19 LED Bulb, 60 Watt Equivalent, Daylight 5000K, E26 Medium Base, Non-Dimmable LED Light Bulb, UL Listed\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41dWX4xJHrS._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"48 Pack A19 LED Bulb, 60 Watt Equivalent, Daylight 5000K, E26 Medium Base, Non-Dimmable LED Light Bulb, UL Listed\" title=\"48 Pack A19 LED Bulb, 60 Watt Equivalent, Daylight 5000K, E26 Medium Base, Non-Dimmable LED Light Bulb, UL Listed\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As I have already mentioned, the varying voltage created by dimmer switches can reduce the lifespan of LEDs that are not designed to be used with a dimmer switch. Vibrations and enclosed light fixtures can also cause LED bulbs to die prematurely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LED Bulbs and Vibration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your ceiling fan looks like it&rsquo;s about to fly off of the ceiling when you run it, or if you just run it often, this can damage the bulb due to the vibration. Before you replace the bulb, it is a good idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/shorten-ceiling-fan-blades\/#balance\" data-lasso-id=\"1336\"><strong>balance the fan blades<\/strong> <\/a>to make sure the vibrations won&rsquo;t damage the new bulb.

If you notice the spinning from the blades is causing significant movement throughout the entire fixture, the structure of an LED bulb may not be able to handle it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enclosed Light Fixture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>LED bulbs can be a tad claustrophobic and <strong>perform best with some room to breathe<\/strong>. Thus, the structure surrounding your light bulb can factor into damage potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the light bulb in your ceiling fan is tightly covered by a light shade, for example, the lack of space for air circulation can cause the circuit to overheat. As a result, the bulb may flicker or die out prematurely. There are options for LED bulbs that are manufactured specifically to work in tight closures as a solution to this issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, whenever the bulb is in a small space where ventilation is poor use a lower wattage bulb to prevent premature bulb failure due to overheating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can manage to account for all these pitfalls, then using LEDs in your ceiling fan can be a great method of reducing the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/cost-run-ceiling-fan-24-7\/\">cost of running your ceiling fan<\/a>, even if you choose to run it 24\/7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incandescent and LED Bulbs in the Same Fixture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing a mix of incandescent and LED lights in a ceiling fan is generally not a good idea, especially if your light fixture is enclosed. The common trend among all problems that lead to LED bulbs being damaged is heat; <strong>the excess energy given off by incandescents can cause LED lights to fail.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most Common Ceiling Fan Light Socket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Candelabra (E12 socket)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3447 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket-768x576.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E12-Socket.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, candelabra light sockets are widely used in ceiling fans. Candelabra bulbs are smaller and designed to look nicer than the previously popular standard bulbs that use E26 socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are also, arguably, more geared towards aesthetics as they come in a variety of colors and more natural-looking styles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether or not LED lights are used, the candelabra style sockets initially became widespread after regulations were placed on light fixture production to reduce energy emissions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to their small size, ceiling fans with candelabra style fixtures may sway even more consumers towards switching to LED bulbs. Because of regulations on the number of watts used by light bulbs, incandescents of this style may not provide the desired brightness. LED candelabra bulbs can emit more light intensity at higher lumen magnitudes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have a modern ceiling fan produced for candelabra bulbs, switching to LED lights should not be too much of an issue<\/strong>. That being said, be sure to refer to the points made earlier in the article to be sure you are getting the correct bulb for your fan and avoid issues along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Older Ceiling Fans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the lighting industry geared its focus towards energy efficiency, medium sockets were primarily used in ceiling fans to hold high-watt incandescent bulbs. Because changes were not firmly implemented until a decade and a half ago, plenty of homeowners still have older-style ceiling fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medium-base (E26\/E27) incandescent lights have been the standard for these fixtures, but LED lights can still be an option. You may need to search for a bulb significantly high in lumens to match the amount of light power used by medium-base incandescents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting the Correct Wattage Equivalence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also know the minimum load requirement on your ceiling fan\/dimmer switch. This information can be used to figure out what wattage equivalency you need to get out of your LED bulb. Instead of using watts, LED bulbs measure their light power in lumens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If an LED light&rsquo;s power is listed in watts, know that the number is not the same measurement as an incandescent watt <\/strong>(for example, a 4W LED bulb is equivalent to a standard 25W bulb). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many lumens a bulb has is what really matters; more lumens equates to a brighter light. For example, if you are replacing a 20-watt halogen bulb, you should use a 4 watt LED to get the same amount of light output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a helpful table for comparing incandescent, halogen, CFL, and led bulbs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Bulb type<\/td><td>Wattage<\/td><td>Lumens<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>LED<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Incandescent<\/td><td>25<\/td><td>375<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Halogen<\/td><td>20<\/td><td>375<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CFL<\/td><td>7<\/td><td>400<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">25-watt incandescent equivalent table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Vs. Low-Quality LEDs&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To be frank, if you purchase a cheap LED bulb, expect lower quality and a shorter lifespan. Lower-quality LED bulbs are more likely to be impacted by vibrations, heat, and other stimuli caused by the ceiling fan. Purchasing a high-quality  LED bulb (on the pricier end) can reduce its damage potential and be used longer to save you money in the long run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, if you are using an LED bulb in your ceiling fan, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-light-on-by-itself-fix\/\">it can glow, even when it is not technically on<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Related Article: <a data-lasso-id=\"1337\" href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/do-philips-hue-bulbs-work-in-ceiling-fans\/\">Do Philips Hue Bulbs Work In Ceiling Fans<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Philips Hue Bulbs Work in Ceiling Fans?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-nutshell-19woGE wp-block-lazyblock-nutshell\"><p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7d1b1;color:#575f60;font-size:18px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497 lazyload\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><br><strong>Philips hue bulbs work in a ceiling fan that has two separate switches.

This way you can be sure you have wireless control over the bulb all day every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hue-Bulb-1024x575.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Philips Hue light bulbs\" class=\"wp-image-1156\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hue-Bulb-1024x575.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Philips Hue light bulbs\" class=\"wp-image-1156 lazyload\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hue-Bulb-e1643177345330.jpg\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a ceiling fan with one switch to control the light and ceiling fan&nbsp;<strong>then it will not work<\/strong>, because you would need to leave the fan turned on all the time in order for the hue bulb to be connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a ceiling fan with two switches will work perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment your light loses power it is cut off from your smart home device and is no longer wirelessly controllable.<strong>&nbsp;The smart light is using electricity even when it is turned off.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you live alone then the manual wall switch will not be a problem because no one will be playing with it or just forget that it needed to be on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when you have a household with kids then it&rsquo;s a good idea to exchange your old manual wall switch for<strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07XV1HRVZ?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the smart switch<\/a><\/strong>. This way the smart light will not turn to dumb light every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe me, it will avoid the constant arguing about who has played again with the switch. Even more, save your nerves and everyone&rsquo;s good mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smart switch also&nbsp;<strong>removes the small delay problems<\/strong>&nbsp;that can sometimes occur with old school wall switches when used with smart light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart switches are getting more and more popular and people really like them.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07XV1HRVZ?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This smart switch<\/a>&nbsp;on Amazon is one that works well, has many different functions, and looks nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-smart-light-bulb-don-t-work-with-dimmer-switch\">Why Smart Light Bulb Don&rsquo;t Work With Dimmer Switch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart lights are designed with their own dimming mechanism built-in.<\/strong>&nbsp;When you now connect your smart light with an extra dimmable wall switch then two dimmers can go to battle and make your light flicker.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B006UTQCA2?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Q9wK7IuvL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Lutron Ariadni\/Toggler LED+ Dimmer | 150-Watt, Single-Pole\/3-Way | AYCL-153P-WH | White\" title=\"Lutron Ariadni\/Toggler LED+ Dimmer | 150-Watt, Single-Pole\/3-Way | AYCL-153P-WH | White\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Q9wK7IuvL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Lutron Ariadni\/Toggler LED+ Dimmer | 150-Watt, Single-Pole\/3-Way | AYCL-153P-WH | White\" title=\"Lutron Ariadni\/Toggler LED+ Dimmer | 150-Watt, Single-Pole\/3-Way | AYCL-153P-WH | White\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Using a wall dimmer switch can even damage your smart light. In order for the smart bulb to work it needs a constant AC current flowing to it. If there is a dimmer in between this current will be altered and the bulb will not work properly.&nbsp;<strong>It is very important that there is no dimmer switch installed for a smart bulb.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"choose-a-correct-socket-for-your-smart-bulb\">Choose a Correct Socket For Your Smart Bulb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you decide to buy new smart lights for your ceiling fan you need to make sure they will fit in your fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ceiling fans have&nbsp;<strong>built-in led lights<\/strong>&nbsp;that are not designed to be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These fans have been designed to last less than the lights that come with them. If that&rsquo;s the case then unfortunately you cannot use a smart bulb in your ceiling fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another case is if you have a ceiling fan that has lights that are changeable but the socket is not right. Here is an easy solution if there is little extra space. You can buy&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08C5DSP36?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\">these adapters sockets<\/a>&nbsp;from amazon to change a small chandelier (E12) to the standard socket (E26\/E27).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better is if you are looking to buy a ceiling fan. Then you can make sure to go with the fan that have right bulb socket and just skip this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-kind-of-different-hue-bulbs-are-there\">What Kind of Different Hue bulbs are there?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bulb name<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Socket Typ<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>View on Amazon<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Bulb Colour<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Weatherproof<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE PAR38<\/td><td>E26E\/27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07D9XL641?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Bright white light<\/td><td>+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE A19<\/td><td>E267\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B016AEHV24?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Warm white<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AMBIANCE<br>A19<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07353SKDD?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Warm-to-cool white light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AND COLOR AMBIANCE<br>A19<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07QV9XB87?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>White and colored light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AMBIANCE<br>BR30<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07QV9X5W6?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Warm-to-cool white light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE BR30<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07QZHMT92?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Soft white light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AND COLOR AMBIANCE BR30<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07R1NLP7P?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>White and colored light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE<br>A21<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08BNM55KD?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Soft white light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AND COLOR AMBIANCE<br>A21<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07351P1JK?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>White and colored light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE FILAMENT ST19<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07VRF9NWK?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Soft white light vintage bulb<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE FILAMENT A19<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07VP6V113?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Soft white light vintage bulb<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE FILAMENT G25<\/td><td>E26\/E27<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07VRFLBVW?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Soft white light vintage bulb<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AMBIANCE<\/td><td>GU10<\/td><td><\/td><td>Warm-to-cool white light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AND COLOR AMBIANCE GU10<\/td><td>GU10<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07WVNBWJH?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>White and colored light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE<\/td><td>E12\/E11<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07WSK5TWJ?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Soft white light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AMBIANCE<\/td><td>E12\/E11<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08BNKL8WR?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>Warm to cool white light<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WHITE AND COLOR AMBIANCE<\/td><td>E12\/E11<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08BNNHLNS?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View<\/a><\/td><td>White and colored light<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saving the environment and saving money&mdash;the enticing properties of LED light bulbs that have more and more people ridding their homes of dated incandescents.
