Description
This is a bayonet cap LED bulb in the classic GLS shape, the rounded pear form that has been the standard household bulb for decades. It draws 8.5W and gives 806 lumens, which the retail pack rates as a 60W replacement. The colour temperature is 6500K, sold as daylight: a crisp, blue leaning white rather than the yellow of an old filament lamp. The cap is B22, the two pin bayonet fitting you push and twist rather than screw. Energizer supplies them in a box of four, so a whole room can be done at once.
Daylight white at this level suits places where you want to see clearly rather than settle in. Kitchens, utility rooms, garages, workshops, sewing corners and home offices all take it well, and it makes colours read closer to true, which matters when you are matching paint, checking laundry or working on something fiddly. The 240 degree beam spreads light nearly all the way round the bulb, so it works in a pendant with an open or translucent shade and in a plain ceiling fitting where the light needs to reach the corners. In living rooms and bedrooms most people prefer a warmer 2700K; this one is a working light.
This bulb is not dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off switch and keep it out of circuits running a dimmer module, where a non-dimmable LED can flicker or buzz. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor fittings only. The energy label rates it F and quotes 9kWh per 1000 hours, and the pack prints a 15 year lifespan. Minimum order is 16 boxes, sold in multiples of 16. We list other Energizer LED bulbs alongside it, including B15 (SBC) candle and golf lamps and a GU10 bulb.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my existing lamp holder?
It takes a B22 bayonet holder, the type with two pins that you push in and twist a quarter turn. Check the old bulb: if it screws in, you need an E27 instead.
How bright is 8.5W next to the 60W bulb I am replacing?
It gives 806 lumens, and the retail pack rates that as a 60W replacement, so the light output should be close to the old bulb while the wattage drops sharply.
What does 6500K daylight actually look like in a room?
It is a crisp, slightly blue white, much cooler than the yellow of a filament lamp. It suits work and task areas, while 2700K warm white is the usual choice for relaxing rooms.
Can I use it on a dimmer switch?
No. The specification states it is not dimmable, and the pack carries a non dimmable icon, so it should run on a plain on/off switch only.
How many bulbs do I receive, and what is the minimum order?
Each listing unit is a box of four bulbs. The minimum order is 16 boxes, sold in multiples of 16, which works out at 64 bulbs.
Is it suitable for an outdoor or exposed fitting?
No. It is rated IP20, which offers no protection against water, so it belongs in dry indoor fittings such as pendants, ceiling roses and table lamps.
