LED Lumiline Bulbs
Some general information.
This new LED lumiline is an excellent product for anybody that has the old style lumiline or lumiline II light bulbs that they need to replace. It's an ancient kind of bulb and were installed for many decades in a lot of different applications where there’s no way to put in new light fixtures without ripping apart a complete bathroom or piece of furniture. These were often included in bathroom cabinets, and it was an integral part, so it’s tough to put something new in to replace these. And up until recently, there was no replacement other than hoping you found the old incandescent version on somebody’s website and have them rip you off with some crazy pricing.
An easy replacement.
Now you can get this lumiline bulb in an LED version that indeed looks the same as the incandescent did. The color is spot on, and so is the glow that it emits. People would not be able to identify it as LED if you didn’t tell them. It fits into the light fixture the same way the older ones did. First, you need to take off the end caps of the old ones you have, and that’s important, I’ll talk about that more in a moment. After you take off the old caps from the lamp put them on the new one, they will fit perfectly. Then all you do is push those caps into the old sockets just like before, and you’re done. There’s nothing more to do; there’s no rewiring to do or anything like that. Another great benefit is that the tube that houses these is not glass, but it is a clear plastic which is unbreakable.
The old incandescent version.
The old GE lumiline bulbs came in either a 40 watt or 60-watt version and had different links associated with those. The 40 watt was the shorter version, and the 60 was longer. It came in either a clear or white lumiline although the most popular one was the white version. We had sold many of these in the past when we were still able to get a few. There no longer made or available but they presented a wonderful light, a very warm light that a lot of people like instead of having something like fluorescent bulbs. For some time there, there was no replacement for these, but now there is. One of the things to make sure that you do is to keep the end caps and do your best not to break them because some of those are not available anymore. We do have some of the end caps that are the deep version, so if you have them, they are still readily available from us.
Saves energy too!
Not only is it a suitable replacement, but there’s also an energy-saving component to this as well. The 60 watts is replaced by a 9 or a 15 watt LED and the 40 watts is replaced by a 7 watt. So you can save energy if you leave these on for a long time and many people do. You’ll also get an extremely long life of 50,000+ hours, and so you’re probably never going to replace these based on how people typically use these in a home or even in business. Most of the time these are used in certain types of cabinets that were made many decades ago for bathrooms. And people fell in love with these cabinets or don’t want to renovate totally, so that’s the best solution these days to replace him with these LEDs. Although these do save energy, it’s not something that’s going to get you a swift payback because these are higher-priced. Even though these have a higher cost, you still get a very long life about 50 times the life of the old ones so probably at the first replacement your saving money.
