How to Buy Replacement LED Bulbs

LED lightbulbs are preferred over standard lightbulbs because they last longer and offer a brighter light output. LED light bulbs can be used in floodlights, spotlights, color-changing light fixtures and other light fixtures at a significantly lower cost than incandescent, compact fluorescent and halogen bulbs. You can purchase replacement LED bulbs both online and offline.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Owner's manual of light fixture

1. Find out what make and model your LED light fixture is currently using. You will need to know the wattage, lumen and type of light fixture. You may be able to find this information in the manual of your light fixture. If you can find the SKU number for the existing LED bulb, you will be able to find a replacement even faster.

2. Contact your local hardware store. Ask them if they carry the SKU or brand/type of LED bulb you need. You may need to pick up and pay for the bulb in person.

3. Visit the nearest big-box hardware center. Retail centers such as Home Depot, ACE Hardware, Wal-Mart and Target offer a wide selection of LED replacement light bulbs. Ask for the specific brand or type you are looking for to purchase your replacement.

4. Place an order for replacement LED lightbulbs online. Visit Best Home LED Lighting to locate your LED bulb by make or SKU number. The company ships nationwide and may extend a free shipping offer based on the value of your total order.

5. Purchase LED bulbs from LEDtronics.com. This company offers an extensive selection of miniature LED lamp bulbs, architectural LED lights, automotive LED lighting and discrete LEDs for light pipes.

Tips & Warnings

• LED lights do not produce any ultraviolet light, making them a better choice for homes that house expensive artwork and furnishings that can become damaged by UV rays over time. One LED lightbulb can outlast 30 incandescent bulbs. LED lights operate at lower temperatures than halogen and incandescent lights.
• Make sure you understand the store's or vendor's return policy if you are unsure whether the LED bulb you are purchasing is the right fit.
