Utility Light Bulbs

Utility Light Bulbs provide bright, reliable lighting for busy hospitality venues, from restaurant kitchens and bars to hotels and retail spaces. This range includes LED and fluorescent bulbs in a variety of wattages, colour temperatures and cap types to suit common commercial fittings. Ideal for task lighting, general room illumination and specialist units such as fly killers, these bulbs help maintain safe, well-lit environments. Energy-efficient designs support lower running costs while durable construction reduces downtime and maintenance.

How to choose the right Utility Light Bulbs

• Start by confirming the fitting type (BC, ES, SES, GU10, G4, G9 or fluorescent tube) to ensure the bulb matches your existing fixtures.
• Consider the required brightness and wattage, selecting higher lumen outputs for kitchens and prep areas and softer lighting for dining spaces.
• Choose between cool white for clear task visibility or warm white for comfortable, welcoming front of house lighting.
• Review whether you need standard bulbs, decorative filament styles or specialist fly killer replacement tubes for pest control units.
• Plan stock levels with single bulbs for occasional replacement or bulk 10-packs for busy sites with multiple fittings.
• Check energy ratings and expected lifespan to balance upfront cost with long-term savings on electricity and maintenance.

Care and maintenance

• Switch off power and allow bulbs to cool fully before replacing or handling to maintain safety for staff.
• Clean fittings and surrounding shades regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust build-up that can reduce light output.
• Avoid touching LED and halogen capsules directly with bare hands; use a cloth or gloves to protect the bulb surface.
• Inspect fly killer units and fluorescent tubes periodically, replacing dim or flickering lamps to maintain effective pest control.
• Store spare bulbs in their original packaging in a dry, cool area to prevent damage before use.
• Dispose of spent fluorescent tubes and electrical consumables in line with local WEEE and recycling regulations.

Pair your lighting with our wider electrical consumables, fly killers, catering equipment and cleaning ranges to keep your venue safe, bright and efficient.
