Energizer 5W Dimmable LED Golf Ball Filament Bulb E14 2700K - Warm White

The Energizer 5W LED golf ball bulb uses visible LED filaments behind clear glass to replicate the look of a traditional incandescent golf ball bulb while consuming 87% less energy. The E14 small Edison screw base fits compact fixtures such as chandeliers, wall sconces, bedside lamps and decorative fittings where the bulb is visible. At 550 lumens and 2700K warm white, the bulb provides soft ambient light comparable to a 40W incandescent.

Designed for dimmer-compatible installations, the bulb works with most leading-edge and trailing-edge household dimmers, allowing light levels to be adjusted from full brightness down to a low glow. The dimmable function suits dining rooms where light intensity needs to shift between task lighting for daytime meals and softer ambient lighting for evening use, as well as bedrooms and living rooms where mood lighting is preferred over fixed-output bulbs.

The visible filament design behind the clear glass envelope gives the bulb a decorative quality when fitted to open fixtures where the bulb itself is part of the visual design. The golf ball shape measures approximately 45mm in diameter, making it suitable for compact shades and narrow lampholders where a standard GLS bulb would be too large. At rated E for energy efficiency under the updated UK energy label, the bulb carries a 15-year lifespan based on average domestic use of 3 hours per day.

Is this bulb compatible with all dimmer switches?

The Energizer 5W LED golf ball works with most modern leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers. Older rotary dimmers designed for incandescent bulbs may cause flickering at low settings. If you experience compatibility issues, upgrading to an LED-rated dimmer typically resolves them.

What fixtures does the E14 base fit?

The E14 small Edison screw base fits compact fixtures including chandeliers, candelabras, wall sconces, bedside lamps and decorative table lamps. It is smaller than the standard E27 Edison screw and is commonly used where space is limited or where multiple bulbs are fitted close together.

How does 2700K compare to other colour temperatures?

2700K is a warm white temperature close to traditional incandescent bulbs, producing a soft yellow-white light. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms where a relaxed atmosphere is preferred. Cooler temperatures like 4000K or 6500K give a whiter, more clinical light better suited to kitchens and task areas.

What is the actual lumen output?

The packaging states 550 lumens, while the specification table lists 500lm. The higher figure on the packaging is likely the rated output. Both figures represent a 40W incandescent equivalent, providing sufficient light for ambient use in small to medium rooms when used in multi-bulb fittings.
