Description
This is a warm white LED GLS bulb in the classic pear shape, with an opal plastic dome that spreads the light evenly and keeps the LEDs out of sight. It is 10.7cm long and 6cm across, with an E27 cap, the large Edison screw that many table lamps, floor lamps and pendants take. It gives 806 lumens at a colour temperature of 3000K, a soft, warm white that suits relaxed rooms and evenings at home. The IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors and dry, so it is a bulb for living spaces rather than a bathroom or an outdoor lantern.
We would choose it for any lamp holder that takes an E27 cap: a bare pendant over a dining table or a reading chair, a bedside lamp, or a floor lamp in the living room. The opal dome means a bare bulb looks tidy rather than glaring, which matters with open cord pendants and with shades that leave the bulb in view. Its three-step dimming gives you more than a single brightness, so one bulb can light a room well while you tidy and then settle lower for a film or a quiet evening. It suits anyone replacing a tired old bulb who wants a choice of light levels without adding a second lamp.
The body and dome are plastic, finished in opal white, and the bulb weighs 0.071KG packed, so it adds next to nothing to a light pendant or a slim lamp. It runs from mains supplies of 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and carries an energy class of F. The dimming works in three set steps rather than as a smooth slide, which is worth knowing if you are used to a rotary dimmer. Before you order, check that your lamp holder takes an E27 screw cap and that the shade has room for a bulb 10.7cm long and 6cm across.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this bulb in a bathroom or a garden?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so we would keep it to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining rooms.
Which cap does this bulb have?
It has an E27 cap, the large Edison screw, so it fits any lamp holder made to take an E27 screw bulb.
How warm is the light?
It gives 806 lumens at 3000K, a warm white that feels soft and homely rather than cool or clinical.
How does the dimming work?
The bulb offers three-step dimming, so it moves between set levels of brightness rather than dimming smoothly across a range.
How big is the bulb?
It is 10.7cm long and 6cm across, so check that your shade or lamp holder has room for a bulb of that length.
What material is the bulb?
The body and the dome are plastic, with an opal finish that diffuses the light and keeps the LEDs from showing as bright points.
