E14 Golf Ball 4.9W LED Bulb 40W Replacement - Cool White

This E14 golf ball LED bulb is a compact, rounded G45 lamp built to slot into the same fittings as a traditional small round bulb. It draws just 4.9 W yet delivers 470 lumens, standing in for an old 40 W bulb while using a fraction of the energy. The light is a crisp 4000K cool white, with a colour rendering of Ra 80 that keeps everyday colours looking natural. A wide 160 degree beam angle spreads the light broadly rather than focusing it, so it suits open shades and exposed fittings.

The small E14 cap, known in Britain as Small Edison Screw or SES, is the same twist-in fitting used across much of the US candelabra range, so it drops into chandeliers, wall brackets, pendants and bedside lamps without an adaptor. Its compact golf-ball form keeps the bulb tucked neatly inside smaller shades where a full-size GLS lamp would look bulky. The cool white tone and even 160 degree spread make it a practical pick for hallway pendants, multi-arm light fittings and decorative clusters where you want steady, clear illumination across the whole fitting rather than a tight pool.

The bulb measures 82 mm tall and 45 mm across, weighs only 16 g and runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains. It carries an efficiency of 96 lm/W and a rated lifespan of 15,000 hours, so it can be left in place for years before a swap is due. This is a non-dimmable lamp, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. The finish is a clean white G45 body. We stock matching E14 lamps in this range in other wattages and tones if you need to fit out several points at once.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It has an E14 cap, known in the UK as Small Edison Screw or SES. This is the small screw-in fitting found on many chandeliers, wall lights, pendants and bedside lamps. It is a smaller thread than the standard E27 Edison Screw, so check your fitting takes E14 before ordering.

What old bulb wattage does it replace?

At 4.9 W it produces 470 lumens, which is comparable to a traditional 40 W incandescent golf ball bulb. The LED itself only draws 4.9 W, so you get the brightness of the older lamp for a fraction of the running cost.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable bulb. It is designed for use with a standard on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or shorten its life, so keep it on a non-dimming supply.

What colour and shape of light does it give?

It produces a 4000K cool white, a clean and clear tone that sits between warm white and daylight. The G45 golf-ball shape with a wide 160 degree beam angle spreads light broadly, making it well suited to open shades and multi-arm fittings.
