LED Light Bulbs

Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs are both long lasting and highly efficient, making them a great alternative to the conventional energy-consuming incandescent bulbs. Available in a huge range of wattages, temperatures and cap types, they can be used in all sorts of applications from the commercial office to the domestic bathroom. 

Not only do LED lights look great, they also consume a great deal less energy than traditional bulbs, saving you a significant amount of money on electricity bills and helping to reduce your environmental impact. 

On the BLT Direct website you’ll find dozens of LED bulbs in many different styles and sizes. Simply follow the link above or click on the bulb to the right to be redirected. 

Energy Saving LIght Bulbs

BLT Direct stocks a huge range of energy-saving light bulbs in many different shapes, styles and sizes. These are ideal for anyone who is looking to save money, reduce energy consumption and minimise their carbon footprint. Wattages range from 5W to 200W.  

Energy-saving light bulbs have all but replaced the inefficient incandescent varieties that used to appear on the shelves of our DIY and hardware stores. Any doubts there may have been about their performance have long since been dispelled.  They can be equally as bright as traditional bulbs and they turn on just as quickly. Yet they last 8-10 times longer than the old bulbs and they cost up to 80% less to run.  

Fluorescent Tubes

We offer an extensive range of fluorescent tubes, including T2, T4, T5, T8 and T12 styles. We also have many unusual and specialist variations.

Standard tubes are available in various lengths, diameters and colour temperatures. They are extremely easy to fit and they are very cost-effective to run. Wattages range from 4W to 1000W. 

Fluorescent tubes are used in many lighting applications. They can be found in offices, shops, supermarkets, schools, hospitals, warehouses, garages, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, sports facilities, commercial kitchens and in many domestic environments.

Incandescent Light Bulbs

BLT Direct has large stocks of incandescent light bulbs in a range of wattages and with various finishes, including amber, frosted, green, blue, peach, pearl, pink, purple, red, warm white and many others. There are also a number of different bulb styles to choose from – candle, golf ball, pygmy, squirrel cage, globe, reflector, mushroom and T-bulb, for example. Incandescent bulbs have many applications. As well as being used around the home for general lighting they are often found in ovens, appliances, electric fires, globes, antique/style fixtures and picture lights.

Solar Light Fittings

Solar light fittings offer a sustainable solution for outdoor lighting applications. Combined with one of our outdoor LED lamps they give excellent illumination (comparable even to mains powered halogen lights), and yet they cost nothing to run because all the energy required is harnessed from the sun’s rays. Solar fittings are very easy to install: you simply fix the solar panel in an area where it will receive the most amount of sunlight and then you can enjoy the results in the evening and after dark. They are great for use in outbuildings where there is no mains access, or for garden/driveway/footpath illumination. Find out more about our solar light fittings by visiting BLT Direct online.

Coloured Light Bulbs

We’re able to supply a huge range of coloured lights in various different forms. On our website you’ll find coloured incandescent GLS bulbs, candle bulbs, golf ball bulbs, reflector bulbs, spotlights, pygmy bulbs and low voltage coloured halogens.

Sodium Lamps

Sodium lamps are known for their reliability, their extra long life (up to 28,000 hours) and their energy efficiency. Because of these qualities they are often used for street lighting, floodlighting, tunnel illumination and for lighting industrial buildings (warehouses and factories, for example). However they are also often found in cafes, restaurants and in decorative lighting applications. You’ll find our complete range of sodium lamps on the BLT Direct website.

Shatterproof Lamps

BLT Direct can offer a range of shatterproof lamps in various shapes, sizes and wattages. As the name implies, these are specifically designed so that they do not shatter at the time of changing (unlike conventional bulbs, which can disperse glass and mercury particles across a wide area and cause contamination if accidentally broken). This is usually an essential requirement in food processing plants, warehouses, storage facilities or public amenities such as swimming pools and leisure centres.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps

Compact fluorescent lamps are made for specific light fittings. They are available in a range of wattages and a variety of colour temperatures, including 827 (very warm white), 830 (warm white), 840 (cool white) and 860 (daylight). At BLT Direct we have large stocks of compact fluorescent lamps from the likes of Osram, GE, Philips, Sylvania and Radium. Head over to our website to see exactly what we have available.

Metal Halide Light Bulbs

Metal halide bulbs are known for being compact, powerful and efficient. Offering excellent luminosity, they tend to be used in supermarkets, exhibition centres, rail and bus stations, sports stadiums, airports and on building sites. They are also often used for special lighting affects and very specific lighting applications. Metal halide lamps are particularly suited to applications that require excellent colour rendering. They are available in many colour temperatures and in wattages from 20W to 2000W. Find out more about our metal halide bulbs by visiting BLT Direct online.
