Description
This is a replacement lamp for a cooker hood, built on an E14 small screw cap and using LED filament rods rather than a coated dome. It draws 4W and gives 440 lumens, and the retail pack rates it as a 35W replacement, so it stands in for the small tubular incandescent lamp most extractor hoods were originally fitted with. The colour temperature is 3000K warm white, a soft yellow toned light that keeps food and pans looking natural rather than clinical. The glass is clear, so the upright filament rods read as fine bright lines when the lamp is lit.
Cooker hood lamps live in an awkward spot: behind a small glass cover or a slotted grille, close to the heat and steam of the hob, and usually held in a recess that will only take a narrow tubular bulb on the smaller screw thread. Before ordering, unscrew the old lamp and check two things: that the cap is the smaller E14 rather than the larger E27, and that the lamp body clears the cover when the housing is closed. The 320 degree beam angle spreads light almost all the way round the tube, which matters under a hood where the lamp often sits sideways and needs to throw light down onto the pans as well as forward.
This lamp is not dimmable, and the pack carries a non-dimmable mark, so fit it to a plain switched circuit rather than a dimmer. Its energy rating is E, and the pack prints a 15 year lifespan alongside a 15,000 hour figure. Each unit is a single bulb, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, which suits a landlord or a kitchen fitter keeping spares on the van. It sits alongside our wider range of LED bulbs in B15 candle, GU10 and E27 filament types.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my cooker hood?
It fits a lampholder that takes the E14 small screw cap, the narrower of the two screw threads. Unscrew the old lamp, check the thread against E14 and check the tube clears the cover.
How bright is 4W next to the old filament lamp?
It produces 440 lumens, and the pack rates that as a 35W replacement, so it should read as slightly brighter than a typical 25W or 30W cooker hood lamp.
Can I run it on a dimmer?
No. It is non-dimmable, so it needs a plain switched supply. On a dimmer it may flicker, buzz or fail early, and the dimmer itself may not run reliably at such a low load.
What does 3000K warm white look like over a hob?
It is a soft warm light with a slight yellow cast, close to the old incandescent look, so meat, vegetables and pans keep their natural colour under it.
Is an IP rating given for this lamp?
No IP figure is printed on the pack and none appears in the specification, so we state none. It is an ordinary indoor lamp for an enclosed appliance fitting.
How many bulbs do I receive?
One unit is a single bulb in its own box. The minimum order on this listing is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12, so you receive 12 bulbs at a time.
