What is garage door light bulbs?

Garage door light bulbs are typically incandescent or LED bulbs that are compatible with garage door openers. These bulbs are designed to withstand the vibrations and jolts of the garage door opening and closing. They are also typically shatter-resistant, so that they won't break if they are accidentally hit with a tool or other object.

Incandescent garage door light bulbs are typically less expensive than LED bulbs, but they have a shorter lifespan and use more energy. LED bulbs are more expensive, but they last longer and use less energy, so they can be more cost-effective over the long term.

When choosing a garage door light bulb, it's important to check the wattage and voltage requirements of your garage door opener. Using a bulb with too high of a wattage can overheat your opener and cause damage, while using a bulb with too low of a wattage may not provide adequate lighting.

Some garage door openers may also require specific types of light bulbs, such as bulbs with a CRI (color rendering index) of at least 80, which provides a more natural and accurate color rendering. Checking the owner's manual for your garage door opener can help you determine the specific requirements for your light bulbs.
