General Purpose Light Bulbs FAQs
What is an A19 light bulb?
A19 is the most common household light bulb shape — the classic rounded bulb with a standard E26 medium base. It fits most table lamps, ceiling fixtures, floor lamps, and ceiling fans. Feit Electric A19 LED bulbs are available in 60W, 75W, and 100W equivalents across soft white, bright white, and daylight color temperatures.
What LED bulb replaces a 60-watt incandescent?
A 9W LED producing 800 lumens is the direct replacement for a 60W incandescent — same brightness, up to 85% less energy. For a 75W equivalent, look for 1100 lumens. For 100W, look for 1600 lumens. Feit Electric lists the incandescent equivalent wattage on every package to make switching easy.
What is the best light bulb for a bedroom?
Soft white (2700K) is the most popular choice for bedrooms — it produces a warm, relaxing glow that's easy on the eyes at night. A dimmable A19 gives you the most flexibility, letting you go from bright task lighting to a low, ambient setting without changing the bulb. Feit Electric dimmable soft white A19 bulbs are a simple, energy-efficient upgrade for any bedroom fixture.
Can I use standard LED bulbs in enclosed fixtures?
Not all LED bulbs are rated for enclosed fixtures. Standard LEDs trap heat in sealed or recessed housings, which shortens lifespan and can cause early failure. Look for bulbs specifically labeled "enclosed fixture rated." Feit Electric offers enclosed-rated A19 LED bulbs designed to handle the extra heat safely.
How do I choose between soft white, bright white, and daylight for everyday bulbs?
Soft white (2700K) is warm and cozy — best for bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas. Bright white (3000K–4000K) is clean and neutral — great for kitchens and bathrooms. Daylight (5000K) is crisp and energizing — ideal for home offices, garages, and reading. Feit Electric general purpose bulbs are available across all three color temperatures.
