Description
This E27 golf ball LED bulb takes the small round G45 shape, screwing into a standard E27 Edison Screw (ES) fitting. It draws just 4.9 watts while delivering 470 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, replacing a traditional 40 watt bulb at a fraction of the power. US buyers will recognise the E27 as the standard medium screw base, with the G45 sitting close to a small globe-style lamp. A 160 degree beam angle spreads the light gently and evenly, and a colour rendering figure of Ra 80 keeps everyday colours looking natural.
The compact golf ball form makes this a useful fit for fittings where a full-size GLS bulb looks too bulky, such as wall lights, pendant clusters, bedside lamps and small ceiling fixtures around the home. The warm 3000K tone suits living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where a soft, relaxed light is wanted rather than a bright task glow. Output is modest by design, so it works best as one of several lamps in a multi-light fitting or as accent and ambient light rather than the sole source for a large room. As an IP20 bulb it is intended for dry indoor use only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp setting.
Light comes from a G45 LED source rated for around 15,000 hours, with an efficiency of 96 lumens per watt running on 220 to 240 volts AC. The bulb measures 77 by 45 by 77 mm and weighs only 18 grams, in a clean white finish. It is a non-dimmable bulb, so it should be paired with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. Several caps and shapes share this base name across the range, so matching golf ball, candle and GLS options can be specified to suit different fittings in the same room.

Frequently Asked
What fitting does this bulb need?
It uses an E27 Edison Screw (ES) cap, the standard larger screw fitting found on many UK and European lamps. Simply screw it in clockwise until snug. In US terms this is the medium screw base.
What old bulb wattage does it replace?
The LED itself draws only 4.9 watts but gives 470 lumens, which is comparable to a traditional 40 watt incandescent golf ball bulb. You get the familiar light level for a small fraction of the energy use.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, this is a non-dimmable bulb. It should be used with a standard on/off switch and not wired to a dimmer, as pairing it with a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or shorten its life.
What colour of light does it give?
It produces a warm white tone at 3000K, which is soft and relaxed rather than bright or blue. With a colour rendering value of Ra 80 it shows everyday colours naturally, making it well suited to living rooms and bedrooms.
