CC VIVID Line LED Light Bulb FAQs

Q: Will your LED light bulbs work on a dimmer switch?
A: We do not recommend using our LED light bulbs on a dimmer switch, this type of switch can potentially cause damage to the bulb.

Q: Can your Vivid line of LED bulb be used with day/night photo cells?
A: Due to the low power consumption of the LED bulbs they do not work with all of the photo cell light controls found in light fixtures. On some models they will not turn off and with others they may blink. Because of this we do not recommend using them with a light fixture that is activated by a photo cell. It is possible for the bulbs to be damaged from the blinking.

Q: Do LED bulbs contain Mercury like CFLs?
A: No.

Q: What is the proper way to dispose of used LED bulbs?
A: Follow your local disposal procedure for electronic products with circuit boards in them.

Q: Are LED bulbs rated to be used in Hazard Conditions (Class 1 Division 1 areas)?
A: No.

Q: What is the specific size of the screw base on your Edison base LED bulbs?
A: The size is E-27. This size works in all common fixtures.

Q: What is the base size of your CC Bright Night LED Bulb?
A: Our night light is a standard ½” candelabra base (similar to an old fashion Christmas tree light).

Q. What does PAR mean?
A. PAR=Parabolic Aluminized Reflector

PAR is also a unit of bulb measurement. In this system of lamp identification the first number listed denotes the maximum diameter of the lamp expressed as a number of 1/8''s of an inch. For example, some common sizes are:

PAR-64''s (8")
PAR-56 (7")
PAR-46 (5.75")
PAR-38 (4.75")
PAR-36 (4.5")

All of our bulbs currently are “medium” or “Edison” base; which means they will fit into most sockets in the US.

Q: Why does my Led light bulb not work properly in extreme temperatures?
A: Any temperature below 14° F or above 122° F may cause a LED bulb to flicker, dim, change color, or cease to function. Once the LED bulb is returned to an operational environment it should began to work properly.

Q: What is the operating voltage range of the 12 Volt Vivid Bulbs?
A: The 12 Volt Bulbs can operate safely from 9 Volts up to 15 Volts. At 9 Volts the output will be dim.

Q: What is the AC Voltage tolerance for our LED bulbs.
A: Their AC voltage tolerance is +/- 10%.

Q: Do your LED bulbs emit UV light?
A: No, but you should never point an LED light into your eyes. The light is very bright and could cause damage.
