Description
This is a 9W LED GLS bulb on a B22 bayonet cap, rated at 806 lumens and able to change colour on command from the handheld remote supplied with it. Switched off it looks like any other opal bulb, so it sits quietly in a pendant or a shade until you want it to do something else. The remote carries red, green and blue keys, a plain white key and a grid of further preset shades, along with flash, strobe, smooth and mode buttons for slow fades and faster sequences. The pack rates the bulb as a 60W replacement and prints a 15 year lifespan.
B22 is the bayonet cap: two small pins on the side of the metal base rather than a screw thread. If the old bulb went in with a push and a quarter turn, this one will fit; if it screwed in, you want an E27 instead. That covers a great many British ceiling pendants, standard lamps and table lamps, so colour can be added to a room without rewiring anything. It suits a child's bedroom, a games room or a television corner, and the white key means the same fitting still gives ordinary room light when nobody wants purple walls. The bulb runs on 220 to 240V mains and is for indoor use.
The specification lists the bulb as not dimmable, so give it an ordinary on/off switch rather than a wall dimmer circuit; the pack marks brightness as something the remote handles. Leave that switch on when you want to use the remote, since the bulb needs power at the cap before it can answer. It is rated IP20 and is meant for indoor use. One unit is a single bulb with its remote, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12. It sits alongside our wider range of LED bulbs in B15 candle, GU10 and E27 fittings.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my existing light fitting?
It fits a B22 bayonet holder, the type where the bulb pushes in and twists a quarter turn to lock. If your old bulb had a screw thread, that is an E27 and this one will not fit.
How bright is it compared with an old-style bulb?
It gives 806 lumens and the retail pack rates it as a 60W replacement, which is the usual brightness people expect from a main pendant or a standard lamp in a living room.
Can I use it with a dimmer switch on the wall?
No. The specification lists the bulb as not dimmable, so it belongs on an ordinary on/off switch. The pack shows brightness being adjusted through the supplied remote instead.
What can the remote actually do?
It has on and off keys, red, green, blue and white keys, a grid of further preset shades, brightness keys and flash, strobe, smooth and mode buttons for moving colour effects.
Do I need an app, a hub or any extra wiring?
Nothing is printed about an app or a hub. The handheld remote supplied with the bulb is the control, and the bulb goes straight into a standard mains holder.
How many do I get, and is there a minimum order?
One unit is a single bulb together with its remote control. The minimum order on this listing is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12.
