Description
This is a classic A60 GLS bulb, the rounded household shape that fits most pendants, table lamps and ceiling fittings. It uses the E27 Edison Screw (ES) cap, known in US terms as the standard medium screw base, so it twists straight into the common large screw fitting. Inside the opal glass sit visible LED filaments that give a soft vintage look while diffusing the light evenly. It draws just 4.5W yet replaces a 40W old incandescent bulb, putting out 470 lumens of 4000K cool white through a wide 320 degree spread.
The cool white tone reads crisp and clean rather than yellow, which suits kitchens, home offices, utility rooms and hallways where you want clear, neutral light. The wide 320 degree beam means it lights a room from most angles, so it works well in open shades, bare-bulb pendants and lamps where the bulb is on show. As an indoor IP20 bulb it is for dry interior use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp spot. Its 470 lumen output gives gentle general light, ideal for accent and decorative fittings rather than bright task work.
The clear opal glass envelope shows off the filament strands and stays a neat 60mm wide by 105mm long, so it sits comfortably in compact shades. At 104 lm/W it is efficient for a filament design, with a rated life of 15,000 hours and a CRI of Ra 80 for natural enough colour. It runs on 220 to 240V AC mains and is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer. The white-finish bulb is one of several caps and tones in our E27 filament range.

Frequently Asked
Which fitting does this bulb need?
It has an E27 Edison Screw (ES) cap, the larger screw-in base. You simply twist it into any standard E27 screw fitting. The A60 GLS shape is the classic rounded household form that suits most lamps and pendants.
What old bulb wattage does it replace?
It draws only 4.5W but gives 470 lumens, which matches the output of an old 40W incandescent bulb. The 4.5W figure is the actual power the LED itself uses, so you save energy while keeping similar brightness.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, this is a non-dimmable bulb. Use it with a standard on/off switch and avoid pairing it with a dimmer, as that can cause flicker or shorten its life. It is rated for around 15,000 hours of use.
Is the light warm or cool?
It gives a 4000K cool white tone, which is crisp and neutral rather than yellow. This suits kitchens, hallways and workspaces. The CRI of Ra 80 renders colours naturally enough for everyday rooms.
