- Use frosted behind a shade - a clear bulb produces a bright hot spot that shows through linen. Frosted spreads the source and the shade glows evenly.
- Compare lumens, not watts - 800 lumens is the old 60W equivalent. That is the figure to match when replacing an incandescent.
- Pick clear instead for exposed fixtures - open pendants, cages and open sconces are where a visible filament belongs.
- Take CRI 90 in living spaces - skin tones, timber and fabric read close to daylight, which matters more than a few extra lumens.
- Check the fixture is rated for enclosed use if it is fully sealed - trapped heat shortens LED life.
- Confirm it dims if the fixture is on a dimmer.
The bulb that goes in everything
A19 on an E26 base is the standard household bulb. It is what almost every table lamp, floor lamp and enclosed ceiling fixture was designed around, and it is the one most people mean when they say they need a bulb.
Frosted glass rather than clear, because in a shade or an enclosed fixture there is nothing to be gained from a visible filament and plenty to be gained from an even, glare-free source.

Frosted or clear
| Fixture | Take |
|---|---|
| Table or floor lamp with a shade | Frosted |
| Enclosed ceiling fixture | Frosted |
| Open pendant, bulb on show | Clear filament |
| Cage or open sconce | Clear filament |
Behind a linen shade a clear bulb produces a bright hot spot that shows through the fabric. Frosted spreads the source across the whole envelope and the shade glows evenly.
800 lumens is the 60W equivalent
That is the figure to compare when replacing an old bulb, not the wattage. A 60W incandescent gave about 800 lumens. This gives the same from 9W, which is where the saving comes from.
CRI 90 in a living room
At CRI 90 skin tones, timber and fabric read close to how they look in daylight. In a bedroom or a living room, where people and furnishings are what you look at, that is worth more than a few extra lumens.
