Description
This colour changing LED GLS bulb has an E27 screw cap, the large screw fitting usually shown as ES, and draws 9.7W for 806 lumens. The pack rates that output as a 60W replacement. Its frosted white body spreads light across the whole bulb rather than throwing a bright spot, so the colours read evenly from every angle. One bulb covers two jobs: plain white light for ordinary use, and red, green and blue when you want the room to look different.
It suits any fitting that takes a large screw lampholder: pendants, floor lamps, larger table lamps and most bedside fittings. A child's bedroom, a games room, a home bar or a reading corner gets the most from it, because one lamp can sit at plain white while people are working and change afterwards without swapping fixtures. Check the cap on the bulb you are replacing before ordering. E27 has a wide screw thread around 27mm across; E14 is the narrower small screw and will not thread into an E27 holder, and a bayonet cap pushes and twists rather than screwing. This bulb is for indoor use only, and runs on a 220 to 240V supply.
Colour, brightness, on, off, flash, strobe, smooth fade and mode are all chosen from the infrared handset included in the pack, so keep a clear line of sight between the remote and the bulb. It is listed as non-dimmable, so a wall dimmer is not suitable; the pack states that dimming is done with the remote instead. The energy label gives class G and a consumption of 10kWh per 1000 hours, and the pack prints a 15 year lifespan. Each unit is one bulb with its remote, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12. Our wider range of LED bulbs covers E27, B15 and GU10 fittings in candle, GLS and tube shapes.

Frequently Asked
What fitting does this bulb need?
It has an E27 screw cap, the larger of the two screw fittings and often marked ES on a lampholder. Unscrew the old bulb and check the thread measures about 27mm across before ordering.
How bright is it on plain white?
It gives 806 lumens, which the pack rates as a 60W replacement. That is enough for a bedside lamp, a reading corner or a single pendant in a small to average room.
Can I use it with a dimmer switch?
No. It is listed as non-dimmable, so fit it to an ordinary on and off switch. The pack states that brightness is adjusted from the remote control supplied with the bulb.
What does the remote control do?
It switches the bulb on and off, picks red, green, blue and plain white, steps brightness up and down, and selects flash, strobe, smooth and mode settings. It works by infrared, so aim it at the bulb.
How long is it meant to last?
The pack prints a 15 year lifespan, with the detail behind that figure given on the back panel. The energy label states class G and a consumption of 10kWh per 1000 hours.
Can I use it outdoors or in a porch?
No. It is rated IP20, which offers no protection against water, and it is made for indoor use only. Keep it to dry, sheltered fittings inside the house.
