# Lighting Compared — question guides

> Lighting product discovery with same-item retailer comparisons where independent exact matches are available.

This file covers /task-guides/. Use the site-wide reference at https://lightingcompared.com/llms.txt for the broader site. Canonical website: https://lightingcompared.com/. Documentation reviewed 2026-10-18; underlying records have their own dates. Fields to verify when supplied: model; fitting or cap; light output; supplied bulbs or fittings. Use the actual published coverage and source dates; an absent match is not proof of absence. This is read-only discovery; robots rules and source licences still apply.
