Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find the frequently asked questions per category. If your question is not listed here, please contact us.

General questions

How can I use a discount code? chevron-down

You can use your discount code in the checkout before placing your order.
Step 1: Go to the checkout and fill in your personal data and choose a shipping method.

Step 2: Go to the next page to choose a payment method and fill in your discount code. Click on ‘Apply discount code’.

Step 3: Fill in your discount code and click on ‘Apply discount’. The discount code has to be filled in without spaces and is case sensitive.

What warranty do you offer on your products? chevron-down

We offer a legal warranty on our products. If a product has a longer warranty, this will be stated on the product. With light bulbs the warranty equals the average lifespan of burning hours.

Why can Lightbulbcheap.com still sell incandescent light bulbs? chevron-down

Importing incandescent light bulbs into the European Union has been banned since September 1, 2012. However, this prohibition does not apply to the so-called ”Reinforced Construction” light bulbs, which were originally intended for professional use. Lightbulbcheap.com has been supplying these light bulbs in more than 200 versions since 2010. An additional advantage is that the lamps are more resistant to shocks and often have a longer life.

Can you keep selling these light bulbs for a long time to come? chevron-down

Unfortunately we cannot give any guarantees about this. We expect to be able to deliver our complete collection until at least mid-2022. Naturally, we also have increasingly better alternatives to the incandescent lamp, such as our LED filament bulbs.

What light temperature do I need in which space? chevron-down

2200 - 2700K = Very warm atmospheric light. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and restaurants.
3000K = Warm light. Ideal for classic offices and general use.
4000K = Cool white light. Ideal for warehouses, workshops, stables but also offices with a modern and cool feel.
6500K = Very cool white light. For photography or galleries where bright neutral colors are important.

Which bulb fitting do I need? chevron-down

The fitting is often noted on the old lamp. You will then need a lamp with a matching fitting.

Can I use a different wattage with Fluorescent tubes and PL lights? chevron-down

No. With a fluorescent tube, the wattage determines the length of the tube. If you choose a different wattage, the tube will have a different length.
With PL lamps, the lamp base is different per wattage. So another wattage lamp will not fit in your holder.
