Description
This B22 GLS LED bulb uses the classic A60 household shape, with a bayonet cap (BC) that twists and locks into a standard B22 holder. American buyers will know the rounded A60 form as the everyday A19 light bulb. It draws just 12 W yet gives 1521 lumens of 2700K warm white light, spread through a wide 320 degree beam for even, all-round illumination rather than a narrow spot. Visible LED filaments sit inside clear glass for a vintage, exposed-element look.
Being a general-service GLS shape, it suits open pendants, table and floor lamps, and ceiling fittings where the bulb is on show across living rooms, bedrooms and hallways. The warm 2700K tone and Ra 80 colour rendering keep skin tones and furnishings looking natural in relaxed evening spaces. The wide 320 degree spread lights a room broadly instead of throwing a focused beam, so it works well in lampshades and shaded fittings. It is an IP20 bulb for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.
At 12 W it replaces a 100 W old incandescent bulb while running far cooler and more efficiently at 127 lm/W. It is fully dimmable on a compatible dimmer, letting you set the brightness from bright to soft. The bulb measures Ø60 by 108 mm, weighs 36 g and runs on 220 to 240V AC mains, with a rated life of 15,000 hours. The clear glass and exposed warm-white filaments give it its open, traditional finish. This bulb sits within our wider range of B22 and filament LED bulbs.

Frequently Asked
Which fitting does this bulb need?
It has a B22 bayonet cap, also called a BC fitting, which you push in and twist a quarter turn to lock into place. This is the standard UK bayonet holder found on many pendants, lamps and ceiling fittings.
What old bulb wattage does it replace?
The LED itself draws only 12 W but gives 1521 lumens, which matches the output of a 100 W traditional incandescent bulb. You get the same brightness for a fraction of the energy, at 127 lm/W.
Is this bulb dimmable?
Yes, it is fully dimmable when used with a compatible LED dimmer switch. This lets you take the warm 2700K light from full brightness down to a soft, low glow.
What does the filament design look like?
It uses visible LED filaments set inside clear glass, giving the vintage, exposed-element look of an old-style bulb. The warm 2700K tone suits open and shaded fittings where the bulb is on display.
