B22 (BC) LED GLS Bulb 9.2W 806lm Non-Dimmable - Warm White 3000K

This is a general lighting service bulb, the classic household pear shape, with a B22 bayonet cap and an LED light source. It draws 9.2W and gives 806 lumens at 3,000K, a warm white that sits towards the softer, yellower end of white light rather than the blue end. The outer bulb is white and diffusing, so light leaves the whole surface evenly instead of coming from one bright point, which is what you want in an open shade or a bare pendant where the bulb itself is on show.

B22, also written BC, is the push and twist bayonet cap: two pins on the side of the metal base that drop into slots in the lampholder. If the bulb you are taking out pushes in and turns a quarter turn, this will fit; if it screws in, you need an E27 instead. The GLS shape is the one most ceiling pendants, standard lamps and table lamps in UK homes were built around, so it clears the majority of shades. At 806 lumens this is a main light rather than an accent, and 3,000K keeps a living room, landing or hallway feeling warm in the evening rather than clinical.

It is not dimmable, so run it from a plain on and off switch; on a dimmer circuit a non-dimmable LED can flicker, buzz or fail early. The IP rating is IP20, meaning no protection against water, so keep it to dry indoor fittings. The energy label puts this lamp in class F, with consumption of 9kWh per 1,000 hours. One unit is a single boxed bulb and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, which works well when you are relamping a whole house or keeping spares in the cupboard. Alongside it we list other LED bulbs, including B15 (SBC) candle and golf bulbs and a GU10 spot.

Will this fit a bayonet lampholder?

Yes, if the holder takes a B22 bayonet cap. The bulb pushes in and locks with a quarter turn; a screw-fit holder needs an E27 instead.

What wattage of old filament bulb does this replace?

No equivalent wattage is stated on the specification or the pack, so compare on light output instead: this bulb gives 806 lumens.

Can I use it with a dimmer switch?

No. The specification gives it as not dimmable, so use a standard on and off switch. On a dimmer it may flicker or buzz.

What does 3,000K warm white actually look like?

It is a soft, slightly yellow white, gentler than a daylight lamp and comfortable in living rooms, landings and hallways once the evening draws in.

How many bulbs do I receive?

One unit is a single boxed bulb, and the minimum order is 12 units bought in multiples of 12, so twelve bulbs at a time.
