Description
This is a dimmable LED GLS bulb in the classic pear shape, with an opal plastic dome over a white body and a silver E27 screw cap. It is 11.2cm long and 6cm across, so it suits any lampholder with an E27 socket where there is room for a bulb of that size. It draws 11W and gives 1,055lm of warm white light at 3000K, and the opal dome spreads that light softly and evenly. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors in dry rooms, never a bathroom or a garden.
Warm white at 3000K is a gentle, slightly golden tone, and we think it sits best in a living room, bedroom or hallway. At 1,055lm it is a generous output for a single bulb, bright enough to act as the main light in a pendant or to give a clear reading light in a table lamp. Because it dims, one bulb can do both jobs: full brightness for a busy evening or a tidy-up, turned right down for a film or a quiet supper. It suits anyone replacing tired bulbs around the home who would like one dependable type to keep in the drawer.
The dome is plastic rather than glass and the bulb weighs just 0.079KG packed, so it is light in the hand and easy to screw in at the top of a stepladder. It runs on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains supply, the usual household voltage, and carries an energy class of F. To dim it, pair it with a dimmer switch suited to LED bulbs. Let it cool before you change it, and wipe the opal dome now and then with a soft, dry cloth so the light stays clear and bright.
