Description
Made with a soft opal glass finish over an E27 LED core, our Basic Idea bulb is a straightforward, everyday choice for the lights around your home. We have kept the shape classic and pear-like, an A60 form with a screw cap that fits the fittings most of us already own. The opal surface diffuses the light rather than leaving the filament exposed, so the glow reads gentle instead of glaring. At 6cm in diameter and 10.8cm tall, it sits neatly within a shade or an open fitting without crowding the space around it.
The numbers behind it are honest and easy to plan around. This bulb draws just 2W and gives back 250 lumen, running at a warm 2700K that suits sitting rooms, bedrooms and any spot where you want a settled, restful light rather than a cold one. The colour rendering sits at CRI 83, so the tones in your room stay true enough for comfortable evenings. It works across a 220 to 240V supply at 50/60 Hz, and it is rated for around 25000 hours of use, which means you can fit it and forget about it for a good long while. Please note this bulb is not dimmable, so we would pair it with a standard switch rather than a dimmer circuit.
We have kept it light too, at only 30g, and finished it to CE Standard for indoor use and UKCA marking, so you can trust where it has come from. Use it wherever an E27 screw fitting lives indoors, whether that is a table lamp base, a hanging fitting or a bedside light. It is a quiet, reliable bulb that does its job without fuss, and we think that is exactly what most rooms ask for from us.
