What is an a19 bulb?

Reference: A-series light bulb from wikipedia

To start it off, it is first important to know what does the term "A19" mean. Apply to all A-Shape ("Arbitrary") bulbs, "A" is used to describe the bulb that commonly has a pear-like shape, while the number that follows the "A" within the A series indicates the width of the bulb in one-eighth inch units or in millimeters. Therefore, an a19 light bulb refers to the bulb that has a diameter of 19 divided by 8 inches, or approximately 2.4 inches. (Alternatively, this can be calculated as 19 multiplied by one-eighth of an inch).




Plus, an a19 bulb typically comes in outputs ranging from 20 watts up to 100 Watts in their incandescent forms. Then, much of the progress made over the past few years has been focused on developing and perfecting the a19 led bulb, which makes it become widely used in almost anywhere, including homes, hotels, and restaurants.




Dimensions of an a19 light bulb.


Like what we mentioned above, an a19 bulb has a diameter of approximately 2.4 inches by definition. But in countries that use the metric system, a19 light bulbs can also be called A60, where 60 refers to the diameter in millimeters. Then, in North America, governed by the ANSI C79.1 standards, the standard maximum dimensions should be produced within its dimensional requirements, which are given below:

A19 bulbs must always use e26 base, but not all e26 bulbs will be of a19 shape.

Shoppers of LED Light bulbs often confuse the specifications for base type (E26) and bulb shape (A19). Actually, a19 and e26 refer to different things, a19 indicates the bulb shape while e26 is the bulb base. Then, as A-shape bulbs usually have an e26 base that screws into sockets made for all kinds of residential light fixtures, though they are most common in table lamps and ceiling fans, in this case, you will find that all a19 bulbs use an e26 bulb base. However, you should also be aware that the opposite does not hold true: not all e26 bulbs will be of a19 shape, and some e26 light bulbs may even come in shapes completely different from a standard A19 or A-style bulb altogether.
