Description
This is a G80 globe bulb on an E27 screw cap, the larger of the two screw fittings used on pendant sets and standard table lamps. G80 is the trade code for a globe 80mm across, so the glass sits noticeably rounder and wider than an ordinary household bulb while the cap stays familiar. Straight LED filament rods run inside the glass in place of a single hot wire, drawing 4W and giving 400lm. The pack rates that as a 40W replacement, and the glass carries a smoke tint that softens the filaments to a quieter glow.
A globe this size is meant to be seen, so it belongs where the bulb is on show: a bare flex over a kitchen island, three at stepped heights in a stairwell, an open lantern in a hallway, or a table lamp whose shade stops short of the cap. At 4,000K the light is cool white, a clean neutral rather than the yellow of a traditional bulb, which suits kitchens, home offices and utility rooms where you want to read colours accurately. If the rest of the room runs on warm white, keep the two temperatures out of the same fitting.
The pack marks the bulb as dimmable, so it will run on a dimmer, though that dimmer needs to be rated for LED loads; older rotary units built for filament bulbs often have a minimum wattage well above 4W and can flicker. The pack prints a 15,000 hour lifespan, quoted as 15 years, and the energy label gives class F at 4 kWh per 1,000 hours. IP20 means dry indoor fittings only. One unit is a single bulb, with a minimum order of 6 in multiples of 6. Our wider LED bulb range includes B15 (SBC) candle and golf lamps in warm white 2700K and GU10 spots in warm white 3000K.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my pendant or my table lamp?
It takes an E27 screw cap, the larger screw size. Check the old bulb: the threaded base should measure about 27mm across, not the slimmer 14mm E14.
How much bigger is a G80 than an ordinary bulb?
The globe measures 80mm across, so it is wider and rounder than a standard household lamp. Allow for that width inside a narrow shade or a small glass shroud.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
The pack marks it as dimmable. Pair it with a dimmer rated for LED loads, because older dimmers made for filament bulbs often need far more than 4W to run steadily.
What does 4,000K look like in a room?
Cool white reads as a clean, neutral light with no yellow cast. It is brighter looking than 2,700K warm white and better for kitchen worktops and desks.
Is 400lm enough to replace my old 40W bulb?
The pack rates it as a 40W replacement at 400lm. The globe throws light in all directions, so it lights an open fitting evenly rather than in one beam.
How many do I receive, and how many must I buy?
Each unit is one bulb. The minimum order is 6 units, sold in multiples of 6, so a full pendant cluster can be matched from one batch.
