E14 Reflector 6W LED Bulb R50 - Warm White

This R50 reflector bulb fits the E14 Small Edison Screw cap, known as SES, and throws a directional pool of light rather than spreading it in all directions. It draws just 6 W while producing 490 lumens, so it stands in for an old 41 W reflector lamp at a fraction of the running cost. The 120 degree beam gives a fairly wide spread for a reflector, and the 3000K warm white tone keeps the light soft and homely. The R50 shape, measuring 50 mm across and 85 mm long, is the standard small reflector profile that slots into spotlight fittings, track heads and downlight cans built for E14.

Because the light is directional, this bulb is best where you want to aim it rather than fill a whole room evenly. That makes it a good fit for accent spots over a worktop, picture or shelf, for cabinet and display lighting, and for small spotlight clusters in a hallway, kitchen or living room. The 120 degree beam covers a usefully broad area for grazing a wall or lighting a feature without the tight pinpoint of a narrower reflector. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so keep it to interior rooms and away from bathrooms, porches or any damp or outdoor spot.

The bulb carries a CRI of Ra 80, which renders colours naturally enough for everyday domestic spotting, and runs on 220 to 240 V AC. It is rated for around 15,000 hours, so it should run for years in normal household use before needing a swap. The bulb is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer. The finish is white and the lamp weighs just 34 g. This R50 sits within our wider range of E14 bulbs, so you can match cap and tone across several fittings.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It uses an E14 cap, also called Small Edison Screw or SES, which is the smaller of the two common screw fittings. Check that your fitting takes E14 rather than the larger E27 before ordering. The R50 reflector shape suits spotlight and small downlight fittings built for this cap.

What old bulb wattage does this replace?

It draws only 6 W but gives 490 lumens, which is equivalent to an old 41 W reflector lamp. The LED itself uses just 6 W, so you get a similar light level for far less energy. Running cost drops sharply compared with the bulb it replaces.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable bulb, so it should be used with a standard on/off switch. Fitting it on a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or shorten its life. If you need dimming, choose a bulb listed as dimmable instead.

Can I use this bulb outdoors or in a bathroom?

No, it is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, porches, gardens and any damp or exposed location. Use it in interior rooms such as kitchens, hallways and living rooms.
