How do I find the right LED replacement?

Match the fitting type, then choose by lumens. A 60W incandescent equals roughly 9W LED at 806 lumens. Our identifier gives the exact spec.

Is it safe to replace a halogen with an LED?

Yes in most cases. LEDs run cooler and use far less electricity. For GU10/GU5.3, check your dimmer switch supports LED.

Q: How do I identify a light bulb base type?

Look at the base of the bulb. E27 (27mm screw) and E14 (14mm screw) are screw bases. GU10, GU5.3 and G9 are pin bases. Or snap a photo and our tool identifies it instantly.

Q: What is the difference between E27 and E14?

Both are Edison screw fittings. E27 (27mm) is the standard EU household bulb. E14 (14mm) is a small candelabra screw. They are not interchangeable.
