Light up your home with the right bulbs

Whether you'd prefer a warm glow for a cosy bedroom or cool light to brighten up the kitchen, our range of light bulbs and globes makes it easy to find the right fit for low prices you’ll love.

Bulb types and fittings made simple

Changing a light bulb is easier than you think, especially when you know what to check! The first (and most important) thing to consider is the fitting. The most common types of bulb fittings include the bayonet (B22) and the Edison screw (E27 or E14). Simply take a peek at your old bulb which will tell you exactly what you need.

From there, it’s important to think about brightness (which is measured in lumens). The higher the number, the brighter the light; so it’s worth considering how each room is used when picking the right level. With a wide range of everyday must-haves like LED and halogen; it’s easy to pick the style that suits your space. And if your fitting works with a dimmer switch, just double-check the bulb you choose is dimmable too. Once you've ticked these off, it's all about finding a look and feel you love.

Choose your light colour temperature

The colour of your light bulb makes a bigger difference than you might think. Warm white lights create a cosy feel that's perfect for living rooms and bedrooms; perfect for movie nights and lazy Sunday mornings. On the other hand, cool white works wonders in bathrooms and kitchens, where a fresher light helps everything feel brighter and ready to go. A small swap brings a whole new feel; that's the magic of finding the right globe for every room. Browse our extension leads range for more home electrical essentials.

Light bulb FAQs

What is the difference between LED and CFL light bulbs?

LED bulbs use a little energy and last a long time compared to CFL bulbs. LEDs also reach full brightness instantly, while CFLs can take a moment to warm up. Both are great everyday options, but LEDs are the most popular pick for day-to-day use.

How do I know which light bulb base fits my lamp?

The easiest way to find the right bulb is to check the fitting on your current bulb or take a look at your lamp's specifications. Bayonet bases twist and lock into place, while screw bases twist in like a screw. The product listing will always tell you which fitting each bulb uses, so you'll know you've got the right match.

What colour temperature light bulb should I choose?

If you love a warm and cosy glow, warm white (2700K to 3000K) is the comforting go-to for any relaxing space like your living rooms and bedrooms. However, for task lighting in kitchens or bathrooms, cool white tones (4000K) help to produce clearer visibility; brings a natural sense of daylight to the space.
