How do I choose the right light bulb?
Match three things: the fitting on the base (for example E27, B22, E14 or GU10), the colour temperature (warm white 3000K, cool white 4000K or daylight 6000K) and the brightness in lumens rather than watts. Our guide to light bulb types explains each one.
Who should install my lights?
Electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with South African regulations. If you need help choosing a fitting, call or WhatsApp us.
