Why I Built This Tool?
Honestly, have you ever held a bulb and wondered "what the hell is this thing?"
Yep, I hear you.
Go to Reddit and it's full of exactly that question "What is this bulb?"
Don't take my word for it, here is the proof:
Why Finding Replacement Bulbs Is So Hard
Walk into any hardware store or search online for a replacement light bulb and you'll hit the same wall: every tool asks you to select a base type, bulb shape, or wattage from a dropdown.
The problem?
Most people have no idea what an E26 or a GU10 is.
And why would they?
Those codes were made for engineers and electricians. Not for you, standing in your kitchen, holding a dead bulb.
So traditional bulb finders have a funny flaw: they assume you already know the answer to the thing you're trying to find out.
A19 or A21? Medium screw base or candelabra?
Sure, but if you knew that, you wouldn't be using a bulb finder
So you do what everyone does. You put the dead bulb in your pocket, drive to the store, and try to match it by eye.
A Simpler Approach: Just Take a Photo
So that's why I built this thing.
Instead of making you decode technical specs, the bulb finder uses AI image recognition to do that part for you.
Snap a photo of the bulb, still in the socket, sitting on the counter, even the burnt-out one you're about to bin, and it works out the type, base, and shape in seconds.
No jargon. No dropdowns. No squinting at tiny print. You just get a plain-language answer: here's what you've got, here's what to buy instead.
Vintage Edison bulb in a pendant? Tiny spotlight buried in a recessed ceiling fixture? Doesn't matter. Snap, identify, replace.
Who Is This For?
Honestly? Anyone who's ever unscrewed a bulb and thought "...now what?"
Homeowners, renters, landlords, office managers, anyone looking after a place with a dozen different fixtures and no idea what goes in any of them.
It's especially handy for the awkward stuff: pin-base halogens, tubular LEDs, those weird little appliance bulbs no shop seems to stock.
Stop memorising bulb codes. Take a photo, get your answer, get on with your day.
