Description
The E27 GLS LED bulb is a classic rounded A60 household lamp in the familiar Edison Screw fitting. It draws just 5W yet delivers 1055 lumens, standing in for an old 75W bulb while using a fraction of the power. The visible LED filaments inside the clear transparent glass give the vintage look of a traditional bulb, with a wide 320 degree beam spreading light evenly all around. The 2700K warm white tone sits at the cosy, golden end of the scale. American buyers will know this household shape as an A19, the everyday screw-in standard.
The wide 320 degree spread suits open fittings where the bulb is on show, such as pendants, table and floor lamps, wall brackets and bare-flex shade-free pendants in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways. Because the filaments are part of the look, it works best where the glass is visible rather than hidden behind an opaque shade. The warm 2700K light is relaxed and comfortable for the evening rather than a bright task tone, so it is well suited to ambient and decorative settings. This is an IP20 bulb for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp location.
Built around an A60 glass envelope measuring 60mm across and 109mm long, the bulb weighs only 36g and runs on 220 to 240V AC mains through its E27 cap. Efficiency is high at 211 lm/W, with a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours and a CRI of Ra80 for natural colour. It is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer. We also stock matching filament shapes in this range, including candle and globe lamps in the same warm white tone.

Frequently Asked
What fitting does this bulb need?
It uses an E27 cap, also called Edison Screw or ES, which is the larger screw-in fitting common to pendants and standard lamps. Simply screw it into any matching E27 holder. It is the standard large household screw cap, not the smaller E14.
What old bulb wattage does it replace?
The LED itself draws only 5W but produces 1055 lumens, which is comparable to an old 75W incandescent bulb. You get the same brightness for a small fraction of the energy use. Over its 50,000 hour rated life that adds up to a significant saving.
Is the light warm or cool?
It gives a 2700K warm white light, a cosy golden tone that suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas. This is a relaxed evening colour rather than a bright cool or daylight tone. The visible filaments add to the warm, traditional feel.
Can this bulb be dimmed?
No, this is a non-dimmable bulb, so it should be used with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. Fitting it to a dimmer may cause flicker or buzzing and shorten its life. Choose a dimmable lamp if you need adjustable brightness.
