What most people visualize when the “light socket types” goes off in their head and probably the most common type of residential light bulb is the “A” shape.
Common sizes of the A bulb are A15, A19, and A21.
The number designation in the code is usually the width of the bulb at its widest point designated in eighths of an inch. So an A19 is an A shape bulb and is 2.375 inches in diameter (19 divided by 8).
This code designation applies to almost all types of residential lighting, where the letters stand for the bulb shape and the number is the diameter at the widest point. An exception to this is the twisted compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) that doesn’t have a common designation code.
