Description
This is a dimmable LED bulb with an R7S cap, the slim double-ended shape that sits between two contacts in a linear holder. It is 7.8cm long and 2.9cm across, with a white end cap at each end and a clear plastic body carrying rows of small LED chips. It draws 8W and gives 950lm of warm white light at 2700K, a soft, golden white that suits a living room or a bedroom. The rating is IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms only.
We suggest it for indoor lamps and light fittings made for an R7S bulb, such as a floor uplighter that throws light onto the ceiling or a wall light that spreads a glow across the wall. Length matters with this cap, because each holder is made for one size, so a 7.8cm bulb suits a holder built for a 7.8cm bulb and no other. Because it is dimmable, you can turn it down for a quiet evening and bring it back up whenever you want to read. It suits anyone who wants warm, low-wattage light in a lamp they already own.
The body is plastic rather than glass, and the bulb weighs 0.05KG packed, so it is easy to handle when you change it. It runs on mains voltage of 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and carries energy class E. To dim it, pair it with a dimmer switch designed for LED bulbs. Hold it by the white end caps so the clear body stays free of fingermarks, and give it an occasional wipe with a dry cloth once it is switched off and cool. Before you order, check the bulb you are replacing: if it is an R7S bulb 7.8cm long, this one fits the same holder.
