G E Lighting 74038 40W White Ceiling Fan Bulb 2 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 74038 is a 40-watt A15 incandescent ceiling fan bulb designed for fixtures that use an intermediate base socket. This base size sits between the smaller candelabra and the standard medium base, making it the correct fit for ceiling fans and similar fixtures that ship with a foreign socket configuration. The bulb produces 300 lumens with a white-coated finish that softens and diffuses light output. Each pack contains two bulbs. Licensed electricians and HVAC-electrical crossover techs commonly specify this type when servicing residential ceiling fan installations or replacing failed lamps during fan motor service calls.

This bulb is suited for residential ceiling fans and comparable light fixtures that require an intermediate base socket. The A15 envelope size and 3.50-inch maximum overall length keep the bulb within the dimensional limits of most standard ceiling fan canopies and globe kits. The white coating reduces glare, making it appropriate for open-socket and lightly shaded fan fixtures in living spaces, bedrooms, and common areas. Each unit is carded and sold as a two-pack, which matches the common dual-socket configuration found on many residential fan models.

Compatibility

Designed for ceiling fans and similar fixtures that use an intermediate base socket configuration, which is neither the candelabra nor the standard medium base. Confirm socket type before installation.

Installation Notes

Always shut off power at the wall switch and, where possible, at the circuit breaker before replacing ceiling fan bulbs. Allow the existing bulb to cool fully before handling. Verify the socket base type in the fixture before installing, as intermediate, candelabra, and medium bases are not interchangeable. Installation requires no special tools and is within the scope of a qualified electrician or a competent end user performing routine lamp replacement.
