E14 Golf Ball 3.4W LED Bulb 470lm - Cool White

This E14 golf ball LED bulb gives a crisp cool white light from a compact G45 round shape, the small spherical form that fits decorative fittings and pendants without dominating them. It draws just 3.4 watts yet puts out 470 lumens, standing in for a 40 watt old bulb while using a fraction of the power. The colour temperature is 4000K cool white for a clean, neutral light, and a wide 150 degree beam angle spreads the output evenly rather than throwing it in one direction. American buyers will know the cap as a candelabra-style screw, though this is the E14 Small Edison Screw (SES) used across UK and European fittings.

Being a golf ball shape, it suits the smaller lamp holders found in chandeliers, wall brackets, table lamps and ceiling fittings where a full-size bulb would look out of proportion. The 150 degree spread and 470 lumen output make it a sensible choice for general ambient and accent use across living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, with the cool white tone lending itself to kitchens, studies and task corners where a clearer light is wanted. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use, so keep it to interior fittings and clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.

The bulb measures 45 mm across and 82 mm long with a white opal finish that diffuses the light softly, and weighs only 18 grams. It runs on 220 to 240V AC mains through the E14 cap and is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off circuit rather than a dimmer. With a high Ra 90 colour rendering it shows colours accurately, and an efficiency of 138 lm/W backs up a rated lifespan of 25,000 hours. This bulb is also offered in a warmer tone within the same range.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It has an E14 cap, known as Small Edison Screw or SES, which is the smaller of the two common screw fittings. Check that your lamp holder is E14 rather than the larger E27 (ES) before ordering. The golf ball G45 shape keeps the overall size compact for chandeliers and smaller fittings.

What old bulb wattage does it replace?

At 3.4 watts it produces 470 lumens, which is equivalent to a 40 watt traditional incandescent bulb. You get the same brightness while drawing far less power. The LED itself only uses 3.4 watts, so running costs are much lower over its life.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable bulb, so it should be used on a standard on/off lighting circuit. Fitting it to a dimmer switch can cause flickering or shorten its life. If you need dimming, choose a bulb specifically rated as dimmable.

How long should it last?

It is rated for 25,000 hours of use, which works out at many years in a typical domestic fitting. The high Ra 90 colour rendering means colours stay accurate throughout, and the 4000K cool white tone gives a clean, neutral light for everyday rooms.
