It gives 470 lumens at 2700K, a warm white close to the light an old filament bulb gave, and the pack rates it as a replacement for a 40W incandescent. The glass is frosted rather than clear, so the diodes inside read as an even glow rather than as bright points. Golf ball is simply the smaller round shape, narrower and shorter than a standard GLS bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat size earns its place wherever a full sized bulb would drop below the shade or foul the fitting: small pendant shades, bedside lamps, wall lights, and the clip on shades used over a dressing table. A cluster of them on a multi arm pendant is a common use, since 470 lumens each adds up without any one lamp glaring. At 2700K the light leans yellow rather than blue, which suits warm paint, wood and brass. If the rest of the room runs at 4000K this one will look noticeably softer, so it pays to match a whole circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is dimmable, so it can sit on a dimmer circuit rather than a plain on and off switch. LED lamps draw a small fraction of the current the incandescent bulbs they replace did, so an older dimmer with a high minimum load may want more than one lamp on the circuit; a dimmer sold as LED compatible is the safer pairing. The energy label shows class E, and the pack prints a life of 25,000 hours. We sell it as a single bulb, minimum order 10 and in multiples of 10 after that. The same warm white output is also on our shelves as a candle bulb with a small bayonet B15 cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB22 bayonet cap (BC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolf ball, frosted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.2W, as printed on the pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrightness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e470lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquivalent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40W, as stated on the pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2700K, warm white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifespan as printed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25,000 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle bulb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10, sold in multiples of 10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know my lamp takes a B22 cap?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA B22 cap has two small pins on a smooth metal cylinder and goes in with a push and a quarter turn.

Older dimmers were built for much heavier incandescent loads, so pair it with a dimmer sold as LED compatible, or run several lamps on the same circuit to meet the dimmer's minimum load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 2700K warm white actually look like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a soft yellow toned light, close to the old filament bulbs most people grew up with. It flatters wood, brass and warm paint colours, and it is a step warmer than the 3000K and 4000K lamps often used in kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose the frosted version over a clear one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrosted glass spreads the light from the diodes across the whole sphere, so you see an even glow instead of individual bright points.
