Segment breakdown
Matched fields
Use the Light Bulb Code Decoder to read the imported bulb database derived from the Blakadder templates repository. The preview visual highlights the recognized fields, while the result surface keeps the decoded summary, confidence note, segment breakdown, reference rows, and alias hints visible.
Imported database
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Imported database rows | 551 bulb templates stored in the shared calculator database. |
| Canonical records | 551 lookup rows in the production module. |
| Unique model aliases | 376 model numbers resolve cleanly as aliases. |
| Ambiguous model aliases | 4 model numbers stay unresolved because they repeat across multiple templates. |
| Socket families | 12 distinct primary socket/base codes. |
Socket family distribution
| Socket / base | Rows |
|---|---|
| E27 | 220 |
| E26 | 138 |
| B22 | 55 |
| GU10 | 53 |
| E14 | 52 |
| E12 | 13 |
| MR16 | 4 |
| GU5.3 | 2 |

How the output is written
| Output field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Preview visual | Schematic lamp drawing for the current exact lookup, with the recognized base, shape, power, lumens, and color temperature cues. |
| Decoded summary | Plain-language readout of the matched bulb template or exact marking row. |
| Confidence | A boundary note showing whether the hit came from a canonical title or an accepted model alias. |
| Segment breakdown | Separate rows for the title, model, primary socket/base, and preserved standard list. |
| Reference rows | Source title, model, standards, and source URLs behind the decoded fields. |
| Alias hints | Unique model numbers resolve as aliases when the imported database provides them; ambiguous model numbers stay unresolved. |
How to enter a lamp marking
- Enter the exact visible title or model number when it matches the imported database, or enter the full marking string for the launch examples.
- Read the preview visual and decoded summary first so you can see which fields were recognized.
- Inspect the segment breakdown to separate the title, model, socket or base, and preserved standard codes.
- Use the reference rows and source notes before making a compatibility, replacement, or purchase decision.
What the decoder does not decide
- Fixture compatibility, dimming behavior, or wiring method.
- Voltage class when it is not part of the visible marking.
- Lifetime, efficacy, safety approval, or installation permission.
- Whether a similar-looking title or model belongs to the same manufacturer series.
Sources and limits
Limits: This page covers the imported bulb database plus the current launch examples. It does not replace the original product label, the manufacturer data sheet, or any local lighting requirement.
Imported bulb database derived from blakadder/templates (Eclipse Public License – v 2.0), via the bulb collection page and the repo _templates records; verified 2026-08-30.
- This page is a production database view, not a universal lamp parser.
- Imported template titles are the canonical records. Unique model numbers resolve as aliases; ambiguous model numbers stay unresolved instead of being guessed.
- Base, shape, wattage, lumens, color temperature, beam angle, and voltage are separate clues; the decoder does not collapse them into a complete product specification.
- Manufacturer labels and local requirements can change the final meaning. Verify the original product label and data sheet before acting.
- Do not treat the decoded output as a safety, installation, procurement, or compliance decision.
Decode logic
- Normalize the marking, parse the known tokens, then return the decoded meaning with confidence and source caveats.
FAQs
What do E27 and A60 each describe?
E27 is the 27 mm Edison screw base and A60 is the A-shape bulb about 60 mm in diameter. Base and shape are independent fields; both must match the fixture.
Can I convert 806lm and 9W into an efficacy claim?
No. Dividing lumens by watts gives an arithmetic ratio, not a guaranteed rating. Read measured efficacy from the Lighting Facts label.
What color is 2700K?
2700K is a warm white color temperature. Higher kelvin such as 4000K reads neutral and 6500K reads daylight; preference and application decide the choice.
Can a GU10 lamp replace an E27 lamp?
No. GU10 is a twist-lock spotlight base and E27 is a screw base; the fixtures differ. Match base, voltage, shape clearance, and dimming before swapping.
