Bullet CFL Bulbs

Bullet Shaped Fluorescent Light Bulbs

There are many types of bulbs on the market. They all vary greatly in style, power, wattage, and purpose. If a person is searching for a specialty bulb, they may not always find exactly what they are looking for at a traditional hardware store or the local market. Because some bulbs are less common, stores tend not to use precious shelf space to stock them. One bulb type a person may have difficulty finding at their local store is bullet shaped fluorescent light bulbs.  

As one might expect from the name, these bulbs are shaped like bullets. They are not the same size as bullets and they most certainly do not serve the same purpose but their unique shape allows for them to use fluorescent bulb technology in a more compact design. Though fluorescent bulbs are more traditionally thought of as long, large bulbs meant to be placed horizontally across a large ceiling light fixture, these fluorescent bulbs more closely resemble a regular light bulb simply with the use of fluorescent light technology. 

Bullet shaped fluorescent light bulbs can come in a variety of watts depending on what the needs are. To find a full range of bullet shaped fluorescent light bulbs a person can search online and look through the inventory of various bulb retailers online. Bullet shaped fluorescent light bulbs are however rather expensive. They can begin at just over eight dollars a bulb but boast of over 10,000 hours of life as well as 80 percent energy saving.  

Before purchasing a bullet shaped fluorescent light bulb a person should do their research and pick the right bulb for their purposes. If they can't find the bulb at their local hardware store, they should look for an online retailer that offers a competitive price. If they buy in bulk they may be able to save even more money.
