Light Globes
There was a time when changing a light globe was simple matter. Push and turn anticlockwise and it came out of the socket. Push and turn clockwise and the globe was replaced. That was for a bayonet style. But the Bayonets come in two different sizes and then there are the screw types. They come in different sizes as well.
If that doesn't make things awkward enough there are a few different types. There are LED's, CFLs, CFTs and Halogens. Each with a different fitting. Some are powered by mains voltage and some are powered through transformers.
For industrial applications there are Mercury vapour lamps that are being superceded by LED simply because they use much less power and have the added benefit of producing light immediately. Mercury Vapour Lamps take some time to warm up before producing light.
The B22
This style of globe has the traditional bayonet fitting. Round with two small pins protruding that help to lock the light in position.

SES or B15
This looks very similar to the B22 . It just has a smaller diameter.. Meaning that it will not fit into a B22 socket. No way. So the next time you go shopping for a bayonet globe don't just pick the first one you see. It might be too big or too small for the place it has to fit into. It's like going shopping for cream and returning home with full CREAM milk. Hmmmmm!

The E27 (medium)
This is starting to drive me nuts. The E27 is a classified as a medium Edison Screw. It's a light globe with a thread where the bayonet should be. But it doesn't end there....
There are several "E" globes all with threads of different diameter. And that seems ok if the larger globe must delivery significantly more light. But that is not the case. Some size differ by only a couple of millimeters. Why? Maybe the we all need more globes of endless different sizes to make our lives more complete. And if you can't find the right size globe it may be "completely" in the dark.

LED lamps
These little buggers have crept up out of nowhere. And now they want to claim the stage. Brighter white light on a shoe string budget output. But I kind of liked that yellowish hue of the Mercury vapour lamps and that slow creep up to full light. It sort of emulated how I feel in the early morning. It's like yeh man I know how you feel crawling out of bed in the morning and as if in sympathy, it lights' itself up nice and slow.

LED Tubes
They use less power and therefore cost less to run. They produce less light comparatively but concentrate light better. Fluoro's disperse light more. So better for covering larger areas with light. When I take one down I always imagine a scene form Star Wars and that my Fluuro is a Light Sabre.

Compact Fluorescents CFLs E17 and E27 Compact Fluorescent Tubes CFTs G23
These bulbs are rated at less wattage and produce more light. They are more efficient.

Halogens
These lights run hot. Do not touch when running because they may cause severe burns. Oil from the skin can cause an imbalance in the globe and cause to explode. These lights are beings superceded by LEDs.
