Help a noob changing a lightbulb
| Only one way to find out! :D
| How many g/u/rls does it take to change a lightbulb?
| Someone call elevator fixer g/u/rl
| The maximum wattage ratings are printed on the light-bulb sockets of the light fixture or lamp. If a fixture has two or more light bulbs, ensure the total wattage rating based on the sticker on the fixture does not exceed the maximum. It is often on the insulation or baseplate beneath the fixture's globe.
If it's a ceiling lamp it's very likely safe to use a 15W lightbulb.
A table or floor lamp is a different matter so be careful since the worse case scenario is a house fire.
| 15W isn't all that much. It wasn't long ago we used traditional lightbulbs that used 40 to 60W to output the same amount of lumen as a >10W LED lightbulb does today.
These things differ from country to country but as I said earlier, if it's a ceiling mounted light then 15W isn't a problem anywhere.
Which country do you live in and is it a desklamp, floorlamp or ceiling lamp?
| this is the first time in my life i see someone asking about the wattage and not the socket code, god bless
nobody in their right fucking mind builds led-only lamps so you should be fine slapping a 40w in there if you so wished
15w is more than okay though as >>cde6e0 said it's piss for lumens. be sure to grab a led
| Get 144 hz at least, there are some 400-500 too
| Also be sure to have 4k at least and 1ms latency
| i had no idea any of this was even a thing i always just bought whatever without thinking and plugged it in
| Just buy the one that fits and don't waste your time.
| >>993134 hopeless kids nowadays... Yes, 15 watts is fine, it's probably unnoticeably brighter. 6000k means it's white light, the lower that number the warmer the light. 50-60hz means nothing to you since your eye isn't fast enough to see the light flickering at that speed. Learnto do your own things or handymen will become billionaires fucking around in space.

| Hey g/u/rls my lightbulb needs replacing, i have no idea what these numbers are but: 14W 6000K 50-60Hz
And the store im closest to sells 9 and 15W bulbs. Can I just use the 15W bulb to replace the old 14W one?
Any help and advice would be lovely
