E27 (ES) LED R80 Bulb 7.3W 806lm Non-Dimmable - Warm White 2700K

A 7.3W LED reflector lamp on an E27 screw cap, giving 806 lumens of 2700K warm white light. R80 is a standard shape code, the 80 being the width of the reflector face in millimetres, and the form does the work here: a wide domed face and a tapered body that throw light forward in a cone rather than spilling it in every direction. Energizer prints a 15 year lifespan on the retail box, along with a 60W replacement figure, so it steps into a fitting that once held a 60W incandescent reflector. The energy label puts it in class E, drawing 8kWh per 1000 hours.

E27 reflectors like this one live in track spotlights, adjustable ceiling and wall fittings, and the older recessed downlights that take a screw cap rather than a GU10. Because the light is shaped rather than spread, it suits places where you want a defined pool: over a kitchen worktop, along a run of shelving, above a reading chair, or picking out pictures and display pieces in a hallway or a shop. At 2700K the light reads warm and faintly yellow, close to the old incandescent look, so it sits comfortably with cream walls, timber and brass and will not cool a room down the way a 4000K lamp does. The IP20 rating means dry indoor fittings only.

The pack marks the lamp non dimmable, so pair it with an ordinary on and off switch and keep it off dimmer circuits, where a non dimming LED can flicker or hum. LEDs reach full brightness immediately, so there is no warm up period to wait through. One unit is a single boxed bulb, and the minimum order on this listing is 12, sold in multiples of 12, which suits a shop, a rental property or a house with several matching spots to refill at once. It sits alongside our wider range of LED bulbs in B15 candle and golf shapes, GU10 spots and E27 filament GLS.

Will this fit my existing lamp holder?

It takes an E27 holder, the larger of the two screw caps, also sold as ES. Unscrew the old bulb and check the base: a coarse thread about 27mm across is E27, while a smaller 14mm thread is E14 and will not take this lamp.

Is 806 lumens enough to replace a 60W reflector bulb?

Yes. The retail pack states a 60W replacement figure against the lamp's 7.3W draw, and 806 lumens is the output a 60W incandescent bulb typically gave, so the light level in the fitting should feel much the same.

Can I put it on a dimmer switch?

No. The pack marks it non dimmable, so it needs a plain on and off switch. On a dimmer circuit a non dimming LED can flicker, buzz or refuse to strike at the low end of the dial.

What does 2700K warm white actually look like?

It is the softer, slightly yellow light people associate with old filament bulbs. It flatters warm colours, wood and skin tones, and suits living rooms and dining areas better than the whiter 4000K and 6500K options.

What does the IP20 rating mean for where I fit it?

IP20 offers no protection against water, so it belongs in dry indoor fittings only. Keep it out of the weather, away from anything that splashes, and out of enclosed fittings that trap heat.

Why is the minimum order 12?

This line is sold to us in trade multiples, so the smallest order is 12 units in multiples of 12. Each unit is one boxed bulb, so an order of 12 gives you twelve individual lamps.
