Grain of Wheat (GOW) and Grain of Rice (GOR) bulbs are among those named to indicate approximate size.
Round and Flame Tip are among the bulbs named to indicate shape.
Some have terminal wires, others have screw bases, and there are a few snap-in bulbs that use specially designed sockets.
Bulbs are available in frosted, clear, and in a variety of colors. Some also come with a choice of white and black wires.
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are another small scale choice. While these are technically not bulbs, they do supply light very effectively without producing heat. LEDs will be discussed is another post.
