Essentials LED GLS Bulb B22

The Essentials LED GLS Bulb B22 is a classic pear-shaped everyday bulb with a bayonet cap and an opal diffuser that spreads light evenly across a room. The rounded glass-style top softens the glow while the polycarbonate and aluminium alloy body keeps things sturdy and lightweight. It is a standard GLS shape, so it fits most pendants, table lamps, floor lamps and wall fittings that take a B22 fitting.

We offer it in two colourways: Warm White for a cosy, softer light that suits living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, and Cool White for a crisper, brighter feel that works well in kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces. Pick the tone to match the mood of each room, or mix the two across the home depending on how each space is used.

The bulb measures 6cm x 6cm x 10.5cm (W x D x H), a familiar size that slots straight into existing shades and fittings. The diffuser is made from PA plastic and polycarbonate with an aluminium alloy body for heat management. LED technology means low running costs and a long life. Wipe the cool bulb with a dry, soft cloth to keep the diffuser clear, and always switch off at the wall before fitting or removing.

What fitting does this bulb use?

It has a B22 bayonet cap, which is the standard push-and-twist fitting used in many UK pendants, lamps and wall fittings.
