Spiral CFL Bulbs

Light bulbs have come a long way since Thomas Edison perfected the first design in the late 1800s; the early light bulb inventors certainly would not recognize the radical design of the twist we commonly use today. Twist bulbs are one of the most commonly used shapes in CFL lighting and can be found nearly everywhere. Their medium sized stature, bright light, and efficient performance make this CFL bulb highly useful in recessed lighting, pendant lighting, and other fixtures. With their longer length and their slightly wider body, the twist is the bigger brother of the mini twist. These CFL bulbs are also used among photographers seeking diffuse, bright, and environmentally friendly lamps. Twist bulbs come in a variety of color temperatures from warm white to cooler white and daylight color temperatures (2,500K – 6,500K) so you have versatility when it comes achieving the lighting you want. Twist light bulbs feature the advantage that all CFL bulbs do, namely that they produce little to heat allow you to light your space without the added heat from your lamps or the danger of accidentally touching a burning hot bulb. Installing twist bulbs couldn’t be easier, simply screw in the bulb into any socket where you used to have an incandescent bulb and you will be ready for energy saving lighting.
