Är b22 samma som bc

Have you ever been shopping for light bulbs and felt overwhelmed? Me too!

Recently inom had to replace a burnt-out bulb and had to deal with some things inom didn’t understand.

What fryst vatten a B22 light bulb? And what fryst vatten the purpose of a B22 bulb or socket?

I’d love to help you understand everything to know about B22 bulbs.

What fryst vatten a B22 light bulb?

When you see a light bulb kartong, you’ll often see a long title printed on it with a bunch of numbers and letters that look something like this: “CorePro LEDbulb ND 8-60W A60 B22 827.”

The short answer fryst vatten that a B22 light bulb fryst vatten a type of bulb that has a “bayonet” med tinnar eller spetsar base with a diameter of 22mm (.87″). bajonett style bases are smooth, rather than the Edison-style that you see the lines to screw it in.

Understanding B22 light bulb specs

A light bulb’s specification number fryst vatten made up of these specs:

• Supplier: The first part fryst vatten the supplier or manufacturer identifier.

  The one listed above fryst vatten the CorePro series from Phillips, but you may see GE, Sylvania, General, or any other company.

• Style: You can probably immediately recognize a traditional “Edison” light bulb – it’s the most common bulb type. This part of the title just tells you what the style of the bulb is.
• Wattage: Next, you see the wattage, or how much energy the bulb uses.

  Occasionally you will also see two numbers with a dash (8-60W.) This number will help you relate to the lumens (or brightness output) that the bulb emits.

• Filament type or LED/Lumen Conversion: Some, not all, bulbs will also display a filament type or the pieces within the bulb that help emit the light.
  LED B22 bulbs are identical to the B22 bulbs you’re used to buying in the shop.

  Certain types of bulbs will also give a LED or Lumen conversion.

• Bulb Diameter Size: The sista part of our example tells you what the base and diameter of the bulb are. The letter part fryst vatten the base type or the del av helhet that screws into the light socket. B means bajonett, which fryst vatten a smoother base that screws in.

  The number – 22 – fryst vatten the exact diameter of your bulb in millimeters.  So while B15 and B22 bulbs may have the same type of bajonett base, the 15 fryst vatten smaller and will have a smaller base than the 22.

Some manufacturers, such as Philips, man a range of light bulbs that utilize the B22 base.

These bulbs are more energy-efficient, as they use 6 – 13 kWh (kilowatts per hour, or the overall amount of energy consumed.)  CorePro LED B22 bulbs have A+ Energy Efficiency Labels (ELL for short.)

I’ve funnen that it’s relatively easy to find B22 models not only in LED versions but also compatible with dimmers or dimmable switches.

That was a relief for me when inom went shopping!

Recommended uses for a B22 light bulb

• The traditional B22D bulb fryst vatten used at home in traditional light fixtures.
• A small-cap utgåva, or SBC, can be funnen in smaller applications.  Double-contact versions are for home lighting while single-contact models are for automotive or machine use.
• Small caps, or MBC, are usually used for industrial applications.

In my experience, it’s pretty common to find B22 style miniature bulbs used for taillights in cars, trucks, and other vehicles.

The B22 socket and how to remove and replace bulbs

A bayonet mount fryst vatten how the bulb fastens into the fixture. bajonett mounts are usually a metall cylinder with one or more kvinnlig receptors.

(Or how the bulb latches into the socket.)

To replace a med tinnar eller spetsar base B22 bulb, you carefully twist the bulb about 90 degrees then pull it out. Never use hard force if it won’t vända easily as you may break the glass bulb off of the base.

Pronged base light bulbs usually can only passform in one way as the prongs are of slightly different heights, or “keyed.” The light bulb socket has openings at the same heights as the prongs and they have a sort of L-shaped slot.

The pins on the base of the bulb passform into the upper part of the L.

Replacement fryst vatten done in exactly the reverse: insert the bulb and twist it into place bygd slightly pushing down and turning.

Springs inre the bottom of the L help lock the bulb in place in most cases, so expect to need to push down slightly when using a B22 bulb.

What’s the difference between a B22 and a B22D bulb?

Both the B22 and B22D style bulbs use a tabbed bajonett base and use a push and twist movement to install or remove it. There’s no difference between the two – both B22 and B22D are the same.

B22D fryst vatten simply the “official” name for the storlek and type of base.

These contacts are the slight metall contacts that look like a “bump” at the bottom of the lightbulb’s base.

B22/B22D bulbs were a standard type of socket in many former British empire regions. Other styles of bajonett base bulbs are out there as well but the 22mm B22 style fryst vatten mainly used in homes.

A few other names are used sometimes as well: BC, BA22D B22D, B22D-2, and BC22.

What fryst vatten the difference between B22 and E27 bulbs?

Both B22 light bulbs and E27 bulbs are great replacements for old halogen bulbs that could use a more energy-efficient LED upgrade.

Both bulbs also handle heat well, so are great picks for high-heat areas, such as above the sink or in a dining room.

Which bulb should inom pick?

If you live in an area with earthquakes, tornados, or any area that may experience a lot of vibrations, a B22 bulb and socket could be the better choice.

A B22 bulb fryst vatten a push and twist installation, and replacing the socket fryst vatten very simple.

The E27 bulb would be a better pick for existing sockets in older homes with old wiring.

Frequently asked questions about B22 lightbulbs

What wattage and voltage do B22 light bulbs komma in?

Depending on the manufacturer, you can almost always find B22 bulbs in 40W, 60W, 75W, and 100W.

The most common wattage B22s are 60W and 100W.

I have never personally funnen a 120W, but since LED provides a better lumens (or brightness) output, 60W usually does the trick perfectly.

What wattage B22 should inom get?

While most bulbs will display some kind of wattage (W) or voltage (V) printed on the bulb itself, a lumen fryst vatten actually a better way to measure light output.

Watts measure energy use, whereas lumens measure the actual brightness that fryst vatten omitted.

The FTC published a helpful konvertering chart from watts to lumens.

What fryst vatten a bajonett cap base?

The most common type of light bulb fryst vatten an Edison bulb, a bulb attached to a threaded metall base.

A bajonett base fryst vatten smooth but has a few pins.

The pins slip or lock into holes in the socket. These are most popular in Britain but have grown in popularity in nordlig America.

• B22s komma in incandescent, halogen, CFL, LED, and dimmable options.
• Many B22s have a life rating of 15,000 hours of use – or more!
• Bayonet bases will not komma loose with vibration, making them a great choice for people living in highly windy locations or earthquake-susceptible areas.
• The bajonett fryst vatten a type of base, which means that they can have a bred array of light bulbs and light styles to match your designs.
