Energizer 7.3W Dimmable LED GLS Bulb B22 - Warm White 2700K 806lm

The Energizer 7.3W LED GLS bulb provides 806 lumens of warm white light at 2700K through a B22 bayonet cap fitting. The bulb replaces a 60W incandescent while drawing just 7.3W, reducing energy consumption by approximately 88%. The GLS (General Lamp Service) shape matches the traditional bulb profile, making it a direct retrofit for existing ceiling lights, table lamps and wall fittings without adapters or modification.

Designed for residential use across living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas where warm ambient light is preferred over cooler daylight tones, the bulb offers full dimming capability on compatible dimmer switches. This allows light levels to be adjusted from 100% output for task lighting down to lower levels for evening use or mood lighting. The 240-degree beam angle provides wide light distribution similar to a traditional filament bulb.

The bulb measures 60mm diameter by 109mm height, fitting standard lamp shades and ceiling rose covers designed for GLS bulbs. Energizer rates the LED at 15 years lifespan based on 3 hours daily use, which translates to approximately 15,000 hours of operation before the light output degrades to 70% of the original 806 lumens. The bulb carries an E energy rating under the updated 2021 EU energy label system, which re-calibrated the scale to account for LED efficiency improvements.

Is this bulb compatible with all dimmer switches?

The bulb is dimmable but performance depends on the dimmer model. Older rotary and slide dimmers designed for incandescent bulbs may cause flickering or limited dimming range. For best results, use a dimmer rated for LED loads. If you experience issues, contact us for dimmer compatibility guidance.

What does the 15-year lifespan mean in practice?

Energizer rates this bulb at 15 years based on 3 hours use per day, which equates to approximately 15,000 hours total. After this period the light output degrades to around 70% of the original 806 lumens rather than failing completely. Actual lifespan varies with usage patterns and operating temperature.

Can this bulb be used in enclosed fittings?

LED bulbs generate less heat than incandescent but still require some airflow for optimal lifespan. This bulb works in most standard enclosed ceiling fittings and table lamp shades. Avoid very small or airtight enclosures where heat cannot dissipate, as this may shorten the LED lifespan.

What is the difference between 2700K and higher colour temperatures?

2700K produces a warm white light with a slightly yellow tone, similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. This colour temperature suits living spaces where relaxation and comfort are priorities. Higher temperatures like 4000K or 6500K produce cooler, whiter light better suited to task lighting or commercial environments.
