Description
This G95 globe is a large decorative LED bulb with an E27 Edison Screw cap, the standard mains screw fitting also known as ES. It draws just 5.8 W while putting out 470 lumens, replacing an old 40 W incandescent at a fraction of the power. The light is a 4000K cool white with a wide 320 degree spread, and the clear glass shows off the visible LED filaments inside for a vintage look. In US terms an E27 screw cap is the everyday medium screw fitting, so the bulb suits common screw-in holders without an adapter.
The 95 mm diameter sphere makes this a feature bulb as much as a light source, so it works well where the bulb is on show: open pendants, cage fittings, exposed-batten holders and bare-flex drops over a kitchen island or dining table. The clear filament look reads best when the glass is in view rather than hidden behind a shade. With a 320 degree beam the light radiates almost all the way round the globe, giving a soft, even glow across a room rather than a tight directional spot, which suits ambient and decorative use. This is a dry indoor bulb (IP20), so keep it to interior fittings and clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor location.
The bulb measures 95 mm across by 140 mm tall and weighs 54 g, with a transparent glass envelope and an E27 brass-tone cap. It runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains direct, with no separate driver or transformer needed, and is rated for 15,000 hours. The colour rendering is Ra 80 and efficiency works out at 81 lm/W. Please note this bulb is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer. We stock matching E27 filament shapes across the range if you want a consistent vintage look through several fittings.

Frequently Asked
Which fitting do I need for this bulb?
It has an E27 Edison Screw cap, also called ES, which is the standard large screw-in mains fitting. As long as your fixture takes an E27 screw bulb it will fit directly, with no adapter required.
What old bulb wattage does it replace?
The LED itself draws only 5.8 W but produces 470 lumens, which is equivalent to a 40 W old incandescent globe. You get a similar level of light for a fraction of the running cost.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, this is a non-dimmable bulb, so it should be used with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer. Fitting it on a dimmer circuit may cause flicker or buzzing and could shorten its life.
What does the cool white 4000K colour look like?
At 4000K the light is a clean, neutral cool white, brighter and crisper than warm white but without the bluish edge of full daylight. It suits kitchens, work areas and spaces where you want clear, fresh light.
