E14 Golf Ball 3.8W Filament LED Bulb - Warm White

This E14 LED bulb takes the small G45 golf ball shape, with a clear glass envelope and visible LED filaments inside for a vintage look. It draws just 3.8 W yet puts out 806 lumens of 2700K warm white light, standing in for a 60 W old bulb while using a fraction of the energy. The E14 Small Edison Screw cap (SES) is the smaller screw fitting, and US buyers will know this compact screw base as the candelabra size. With a wide 320 degree beam angle the filaments throw light fairly evenly in all directions rather than in a single direction.

The warm 2700K tone and Ra 80 colour rendering make this golf ball bulb a good fit for the fittings where the bulb itself is on show: open pendants, candelabra-style ceiling lights, wall brackets and bedside lamps around the home. The all-round 320 degree spread suits multi-arm fixtures and chandeliers where light needs to reach outward in every direction. Because it gives a soft, cosy glow rather than a bright task output, it works best as ambient and accent lighting in living rooms, dining areas and bedrooms. It is an indoor bulb only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.

The bulb measures 45 mm across by 80 mm long and weighs only 14 g, so it sits neatly in compact shades and smaller fittings. It runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains straight from the E14 holder, with no transformer or driver needed. The filament construction and clear transparent glass give the retro look, while the LED source is rated for 50,000 hours of life. Please note this bulb is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer. We stock matching E14 filament bulbs in other shapes across the range if you want a consistent look through a fitting.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It has an E14 cap, also called Small Edison Screw or SES, which is the smaller of the two screw-in sizes. It twists into any standard E14 holder. US buyers know this compact screw base as the candelabra fitting.

What old bulb wattage does it replace?

It draws just 3.8 W but produces 806 lumens, which matches the output of a 60 W old incandescent bulb. The LED itself only ever uses 3.8 W, so you get the same brightness for far less energy.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable bulb, so it should be used with a standard on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or buzzing and may shorten its life.

What colour of light does it give?

It gives a warm white light at 2700K, the same cosy tone as a traditional bulb, with Ra 80 colour rendering. Combined with the visible filaments and clear glass it suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas where a soft glow is wanted.
