Description
This clear glass E27 LED bulb in the classic A60 GLS shape gives 1521 lumens of warm white light from only 7.2W. That is 211 lumens for every watt, and the maker rates it as a 100W equivalent: the light of a 100W bulb for under a tenth of the power. When you compare bulbs, compare lumens, because they measure the light itself, while watts only tell you what a bulb draws. The colour temperature is 2700K, the soft, slightly golden white of a traditional incandescent bulb.
It needs an E27 lampholder, the larger Edison screw. Plenty of British pendants and lamps take a B22 bayonet cap instead, and this bulb will not go into one. With a 320° beam angle, the light spreads in almost every direction rather than in a cone, which suits a bare pendant or an open shade. Clear glass makes the bulb part of the look, so choose a fitting that leaves it on show. It is not dimmable and needs an ordinary on and off switch. The maker's specification lists its place of application as not stated, so we cannot confirm it for a bathroom, outdoors or an enclosed fitting.
Through the clear glass you can see slim filament strips, held top and bottom on a fine frame above a silver-toned screw cap. It is a standard A60, 60mm across and 108mm tall, but a small or close-fitting shade is still worth measuring first. It runs on 220-240V AC, which covers UK mains. Colour rendering is Ra 80, fine for general lighting, though artwork or paint matching calls for a higher figure. The rated life is 50,000 hours, more than 34 years at four hours a day. If you would rather a cooler, whiter light, we list the same bulb at 4000K.

Frequently Asked
Will this bulb fit a bayonet light fitting?
No. It has an E27 cap, the larger Edison screw, so it needs an E27 screw lampholder. If the bulb you are replacing has two small pins on the side of its base, that is a bayonet cap, and this one will not go in.
Can I use it with a dimmer switch?
No. The maker lists it as not dimmable, so it belongs on an ordinary on and off switch. If your light is on a dimmer, choose a bulb that is sold as dimmable.
How bright is it compared with the bulb I have now?
It gives 1521 lumens from 7.2W, and the maker rates it as a 100W equivalent. If you are replacing a 100W bulb, expect much the same brightness; if you are replacing a 60W, it will give a good deal more light.
Is the light warm or cool?
Warm. At 2700K it is the soft, slightly golden white of a traditional incandescent bulb. If you would rather a cooler, whiter light, we list the same bulb at 4000K as well.
Will it fit inside my lampshade?
It is 60mm across at its widest and 108mm tall, the standard A60 shape. Measure the space inside your shade or fitting before you order, especially if it is small or sits close around the bulb.
Can I use it in a bathroom, outdoors or in an enclosed fitting?
The maker's specification lists its place of application as not stated, so we cannot confirm it for a bathroom, outdoors or an enclosed fitting, and we would rather tell you that than guess.
