B22 (BC) LED Filament GLS Bulb 3.8W 806lm - Warm White 2700K

This is a GLS bulb with a B22 bayonet cap, the push and twist fitting found on most older UK pendants, ceiling roses and table lamps. It draws 3.8W and gives 806 lumens, and the pack sets that against a 60W replacement, so it is a like for like swap for the old 60W bulb already sitting in your shade. The glass is clear and the LED is carried on straight filament strips rather than hidden behind a white diffuser, so the bulb keeps the look of a traditional wire filament lamp. The light is warm white at 2700K, and the pack carries an A energy rating.

A clear filament bulb earns its place wherever the bulb itself is on show: an open shade, a glass pendant over a kitchen island, a bare flex drop in a hallway, or a bedside lamp with a narrow shade that lets light out at both ends. 2700K is the warm, slightly yellow light people associate with old tungsten bulbs, and it flatters wood, brick, brass and warm paint colours. At 806 lumens one of these is enough for a small bedroom or a landing; in a living room, use two or three across different lamps rather than one bright central fitting.

There is no dimming here. The pack marks the bulb as non dimmable, so pair it with a plain on and off switch; on a dimmer circuit it may flicker, buzz or refuse to light at all. The pack prints a 50 year lifespan, a figure based on a few hours of use each day rather than constant running. Each box holds one bulb, and the listing is sold in multiples of twelve, which suits a whole house relamp more than a single spare. We also stock LED candle and golf bulbs in the smaller B15 bayonet cap, and GU10 spotlights.

Will this fit my existing bayonet light fitting?

It takes a B22 bayonet cap, the 22mm two pin push and twist base. Look at the old bulb: if it pushes in and turns rather than screwing, this is the right cap.

Is it as bright as the 60W bulb I am replacing?

The pack rates it as a 60W replacement and it puts out 806 lumens, which is the usual output of a clear or pearl 60W incandescent GLS bulb.

Can I put it on a dimmer switch?

No. The pack marks it non dimmable, so use it with a standard on and off switch. On a dimmer it may flicker, hum or fail to light.

What does 2700K warm white actually look like?

It is the soft, faintly golden light of an old tungsten bulb rather than the whiter light of a 4000K lamp, so it suits evening rooms and warm decor.

Is an IP rating printed on the pack?

No IP figure is stated by the manufacturer, so treat this as an ordinary indoor lamp for dry, enclosed or open fittings in living spaces.

Why does the listing have a minimum order of twelve?

These come to us in trade multiples. You receive one bulb per box and order in twelves, which works well when relamping a whole house at once.
