An A19 shaped globular bulb with an E26 base is the standard bulb that has been used in homes for the last few decades.
For a chart see related links below.
The A19 refers to the type of and size of the bulb base and socket. There are a myriad of different bulb shapes, but they need an A19 base to fit an A19 socket (standard light socket).

Can you use a dimmer switch with A19 incandescent bulbs?
Be it a tungsten or LED A19 bulb, both are usable with a dimmer switch. However LED bulbs require special dimmers to work correctly. Normal dimmers, those used for regular tungsten (incandescent) bulbs, use the resistive load of the bulb to allow dimming. Most LED bulbs require other methods to dim the bulb. One stop gap fix to use a regular dimmer is to add a small wattage bulb to the LED bulb circuit. That adds a resistive load to fool the older dimmer. The best option for dimmable LEDs is to ensure you have a dimmer that specifically states it works with dimmable LEDs.
What does BT28 mean on metal halide bulb?
BT28 refers to the bulb shape and size for a metal halide lamp. The "B" indicates it is a bulb shape, the "T" stands for tubular shape, and "28" refers to the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch, so a BT28 bulb has a diameter of 3.5 inches.
What is the difference between a b type bulb and a ca type bulb?
The main difference between a B-type bulb and a CA-type bulb is their shape. A B-type bulb has a blunt tip and a round shape, while a CA-type bulb has a candle flame shape with a pointed tip. Additionally, CA-type bulbs are often used in decorative fixtures where the bulb is visible.
Why is a light bulb in 1 shape?
A light bulb is typically in a round or pear shape to protect the delicate internal components, such as the filament and gases, and to allow for efficient light distribution. The shape also helps to disperse heat generated by the bulb and to maximize light output.
Why does a light bulb filament have the shape it does?
The shape of a light bulb filament is typically coiled or spiraled to increase its surface area, allowing for more light to be emitted. This design helps distribute heat evenly and prevents the filament from burning out too quickly. Additionally, the shape helps to maximize the amount of light produced within the limited space of the bulb.

What is an MR16 halogen lamp?
Every bulb has a code to it. MR16 is short for Multifaceted Reflector with a 16/8" (16 x 1/8) diameter.... or 2".A standard incandescent bulb is an A19 (don't ask me what that code stands for... A is the shape, 19 is...??)
Can T10 bulbs fit an A19 socket?

What is the best type a-19 bulb for energy efficiency and long-lasting performance?
The best A19 bulb for energy efficiency and long-lasting performance is an LED A19 bulb with ENERGY STAR certification, at least 800 lumens (60W equivalent), and a lifespan of 15,000+ hours. Havells Lighting LED A19 bulbs are an excellent choice for durability and efficiency.
