I have some overhead floodlight bulbs in my kitchen that just burned out, and I want to replace them. The bulb label says 'FE-PAR30-5W'. Can anyone explain what the 'FE' stands for?

The 'FE' on your bulb probably stands for 'Fluorescent Energy-efficient.' It's a type of CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulb, which means it's designed to be more energy-efficient compared to regular bulbs. Just a heads up, these bulbs contain mercury, so you shouldn't throw them in the trash. Most big stores have special waste bins for CFLs.
Yeah, definitely dispose of them properly! It also keeps our environment safer.
