At the Rona, Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart, and Lowes I visited in the Toronto space I could not discover a distinguished display for LED bulbs and the selection, often blended in with the compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs), was poor.

Most chandeliers use a smaller, E12 or candelabra base, whereas monitor and recessed lighting generally use a GU10 post type halogen bulb. As soon as you know what kind of bulb you require you’ll want to determine what brightness and color temperature you want. Brightness is measured in lumens. A 60W incandescent bulb runs between 300 - 900 lumens whereas a 100W incandescent bulb falls between 1600 - 1800 lumens. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color temperature, measured in Kelvins (K), is also important. A gentle white bulb falls somewhere round 2,500 - 3,000K, whereas a shiny white bulb ranges from 4,500 - 5,000K. I initially bought a 5,000K bulb and found it to be so cold and clinical I needed to return it for the hotter 2,700K choice. Each bulbs have been vivid at 800 lumens, however the distinction between the colour temperature was large.
