Description
This is an LED candle bulb with a B22 bayonet cap and an amber tinted glass body, drawing 4.8W for a stated 330 lumens. Inside, two straight filament strips run the length of the envelope, so the light source stays on show rather than hiding behind a diffuser. The colour temperature is 2000K, which is warmer and more golden than the 2700K most people think of as warm white; the pack calls it extra warm white and prints 300 lumens against the 330 quoted in the specification. The retail pack also gives a 30W replacement figure and a 15,000 hour life.
A candle shape with a visible filament earns its place where the bulb is part of the fitting rather than hidden: open chandeliers, wall brackets, pendant clusters and lantern-style fittings with clear or lightly frosted glass. The amber glass and the low colour temperature give a glow close to candlelight, and it sits comfortably in a dining room, a snug or a hallway where atmosphere matters more than working light. With a 320 degree beam angle the light spreads all round the lamp rather than throwing forwards, so multi-arm fittings light evenly. IP20 means indoor, dry positions only.
Fitting is a push and twist: line up the two pins on the cap, press gently and turn a quarter turn clockwise. B22 is the standard British bayonet cap, so if the bulb you are replacing has two pins rather than a screw thread, this is the right one; B15 is the smaller bayonet and will not fit. The lamp is dimmable, so it can be run from a dimmer switch. Each unit is a single bulb, and the minimum order is 10, sold in multiples of 10, which suits a fitting with several lamp holders or a stock of spares. We also stock a dimmable LED candle bulb with the smaller B15 small bayonet cap in 2700K.

Frequently Asked
Which light fittings take a B22 cap?
B22 is the standard British bayonet cap, with two pins on the side that lock in with a quarter turn. If the bulb you are replacing pushed in and twisted rather than screwing in, this one will fit.
How bright is it compared with an old filament candle bulb?
The specification quotes 330 lumens and the pack prints 300 lumens alongside a 30W replacement figure, so expect a soft, decorative glow rather than bright general room light.
What does 2000K actually look like in a room?
Noticeably more golden than the usual 2700K warm white. Combined with the amber glass it gives a light close to candlelight, which suits evenings and low level lighting.
Can I run it from a dimmer switch?
Yes, the specification confirms it is dimmable. At 4.8W the load is very small, so a dimmer rated for LED lamps with a low minimum load will give the smoothest result.
How long is it rated to last?
The retail pack prints a life of 15,000 hours. In a dining room used for a few hours each evening, that works out at many years of ordinary use.
Why does the order start at 10?
This listing is sold in multiples of 10, so the smallest order is 10 bulbs. Each unit is a single bulb, which suits a multi arm fitting plus a few spares.
