Shipping for Success: Packing Peanuts

On average, we ship up to 2,000 orders every day. One of the tools we use to ensure your items arrive to you in one piece is this little guy here, the packing peanut. We found that packing peanuts are the best option for keeping fragile products safe during shipping.

Unlike other shippers, our peanuts are biodegradable. They're made with wheat, potato, and corn starch. And the best part is they dissolve in water. Leftover peanuts can be reused in a variety of ways, including shipping out gifts, crafts, or even as filler in flowerpots.

We at 1000Bulbs know how hard it can be to accurately measure your plastic globes for street lamp installations. That is why today we're going to explain step by step how to properly measure your plastic globes to make sure they fit every time.

When you look around, you'll see that plastic globes are a pretty common site around neighborhoods, businesses, and schools. In addition to their pleasing aesthetic, globes can provide additional protection to bulbs and can help diffuse light output. While ordering a replacement may seem simple enough, most times it's difficult to tell what size globe you have. If you don't get accurate measurements, you can end up ordering plastic globes that won't fit. So here's how to accurately measure your plastic globes.

Firstly, to find the correct replacement size, you'll need the overall diameter of the globe and the diameter of the opening. To measure the overall diameter, first set the globe on a flat surface with one side touching the wall. Next, place a straight object on the opposite side of the globe. Now take a ruler and measure from the wall to the edge of the globe. This is your overall diameter.

Next, you need the diameter of the opening. If your globe doesn't have a neck, then you can use a ruler to measure the width of the opening from edge to edge. If your globe has a neck, you will need to carefully measure the width from the outer edges of the flange. This will give you the opening diameter.

Now that you have your sizes, you can find the correct replacement. 1000Bulbs offers replacement globes in a variety of sizes, finishes, and neck openings. Manufactured by American Made Plastics, these globes are made with UV resistant acrylic to ensure they resist yellowing and won't fade over time. If you have additional questions or need help finding the right replacement globe, call 1-800-624-4488 to speak with one of our lighting experts, or visit 1000bulbs.com.
