Description
Built around an E27 LED light source, our Bright Idea bulb pairs a 13W draw with the kind of output we like to see from a fitting this size. It uses an A70 form, which measures 7cm across and stands 13.4cm tall, and it weighs just 115g. It is built for indoor use, and it carries both CE Standard and UKCA markings so you know where we stand on the paperwork. The screw fitting means it drops straight into any E27 socket you already have around the house.
What we care about most is the light itself. This bulb gives you 1580 lumen at an efficiency of 122 lumen per watt, so you get plenty of brightness for the power it pulls. The colour temperature sits at 4000K, a clean and neutral white that suits kitchens, home offices and hallways where you want to see clearly rather than settle into a warm glow. A CRI of 85 keeps colours reading true, whether that is the food on your worktop or the pages of a book. It runs on 220 to 240V at 50 Hz, and it reaches full brightness the moment you flick the switch, with no warm up wait. We should be plain about one thing: this bulb is not dimmable, so please pair it with a standard on off circuit rather than a dimmer.
It is rated at 25000 light hours, which means years of use before you think about a replacement. It suits a table lamp base, a reading light or a fitting over the dining table, anywhere an E27 socket needs a bright, honest white. If you are working through several rooms, we find it easy to keep a few of these in the cupboard so a spare is always to hand. It is a straightforward bulb that does the job we ask of it.
