Description
The Energizer 4.2W E27 LED GLS bulb delivers 470 lumens of warm white 2700K light through a standard Edison screw base, replacing traditional 40W incandescent bulbs while consuming one-tenth of the power. The GLS (General Lighting Service) shape is the classic bulb profile that fits most table lamps, ceiling pendants and bare-bulb fittings found in UK homes.
Designed for ambient and general room lighting rather than task-specific applications, the 240° beam angle distributes light evenly across living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas. The 2700K colour temperature produces a warm, slightly yellow-toned white that softens the feel of a room after dark and works well in spaces where relaxation and comfort matter more than clinical brightness. The non-dimmable design means the bulb operates at full 470-lumen output whenever switched on, with no compatibility concerns around dimmer switches.
Energizer rates the bulb for a 15-year lifespan based on average domestic use of 2.7 hours per day, which translates to approximately 15,000 hours of operation before the LED output degrades below usable levels. The frosted polycarbonate diffuser over the LED array hides the individual diodes and creates a soft, even glow similar to a traditional filament bulb. At 60mm diameter and 110mm height, the bulb fits standard lampshade dimensions without protruding awkwardly from most shades.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This bulb is non-dimmable and should only be used on standard on/off switches. Installing it on a dimmer circuit may cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What's the equivalent brightness to a traditional bulb?
The 470-lumen output is comparable to a traditional 40W incandescent bulb. The warm white 2700K colour temperature also matches the tone of an old-style tungsten filament bulb.
How long does the bulb last?
Energizer rates this bulb for 15,000 hours, which equates to approximately 15 years based on 2.7 hours of daily use. Actual lifespan depends on usage patterns and ambient temperature.
Does it fit standard lampshades and ceiling fittings?
Yes. The E27 Edison screw base is the standard large screw fitting used in most UK table lamps, pendants and ceiling roses. The 60mm diameter and 110mm height match typical GLS bulb dimensions, so it fits most shades without protruding awkwardly.
