Description
This is a golf ball LED lamp with a small Edison screw cap, the E14 fitting often written as SES. It draws 4.2W and the pack rates it at 470 lumens, a figure the pack qualifies as measured in a narrow cone, and gives it as a replacement for a 40W incandescent golf bulb. What sets it apart from an ordinary golf lamp is the colour switch marked on the lamp itself: one lamp holds three settings, 2700K warm white, 4000K cool white and 6500K daylight, so you choose the light once the lamp is in your hand rather than at the shelf.
The golf shape suits fittings where a full sized GLS bulb would look heavy or simply would not fit: five arm chandeliers, small wall lights, bedside lamps with narrow shades and pendant clusters. Before you buy, look at the cap on the old bulb. SES is the smaller of the two screw caps, with a thread about 14mm across; if the thread measures nearer 27mm you need an E27 instead, and the two do not interchange. The three settings earn their keep in a room that does two jobs, a kitchen table used for homework in the afternoon and supper in the evening, or a hallway you want warm at night.
Changing the colour is done on the lamp rather than at the wall, so set it before you fit the shade and leave it. The pack marks the lamp as non dimmable, so it belongs on a plain switched circuit; on a dimmer you risk flicker, buzz and a short life. The pack prints an energy class of E, a 15 year lifespan and 15,000 hours. Each box holds one lamp and the minimum order is twelve, sold in multiples of twelve, so plan on twelve boxes if you are relamping a fitting and keeping spares.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit a chandelier or wall light that takes small screw bulbs?
Yes, if the holder is E14, the small Edison screw also written as SES, with a thread roughly 14mm across rather than the larger 27mm E27.
How do I change between the three colour settings?
The lamp carries its own colour change switch marked 2700K, 4000K and 6500K, so you set the light on the lamp and not at the wall switch.
Can I put it on a dimmer circuit?
No. The pack marks this lamp as non dimmable, so fit it to a plain switched circuit; a dimmer can cause flicker, audible buzz and early failure.
How bright is 4.2W against the old bulb I am taking out?
The pack gives 470 lumens and calls it a 40W replacement, so it stands in for a traditional 40W golf bulb of the same cap.
Is an IP rating given for this lamp?
No. Neither the specification nor the pack prints an IP figure, so we make no claim at all about protection from dust or moisture.
How many do I need to order?
Each box holds a single lamp and the minimum order is twelve, sold in multiples of twelve, which covers a multi arm fitting plus spares.
