Buying in bulk is a smart move that can save you significant money and reduce the "chore" of frequent replacements. 1. Identify Your "Standard" Bulbs

Ensure they are labeled Dimmable if you have dimmer switches; non-dimmable bulbs will flicker or buzz in those fixtures. 3. Where to Source

Good for "value brands," but check the rated lifespan (usually in hours). A cheap bulb that lasts only 10,000 hours is more expensive in the long run than a quality one rated for 25,000 hours. 4. Storage and Maintenance

Common for recessed "can" lighting in kitchens and living rooms. 2. Choose Your Specs (The "3 Cs")

Store bulbs in their original partitioned cardboard. It prevents the glass from knocking together and keeps the warranty info and model number handy for future reorders.
