Description
The Eveready 13.8W LED GLS is a standard A60-shaped bulb with an E27 Edison screw base, delivering 1521 lumens at a 6500K daylight colour temperature. Each bulb consumes 13.8W to produce output equivalent to a traditional 100W incandescent, making it a direct replacement for higher-wattage filament bulbs in ceiling pendants, table lamps and wall lights throughout the home or workspace.
Designed for areas requiring bright, cool-toned light that aids concentration and visibility, the 6500K output suits kitchens, home offices, workshops, garages and utility rooms where task performance matters more than ambient warmth. The 200° beam angle provides even distribution across a room rather than focused directional light. The bulbs are rated for 10,000 switching cycles and carry an approximate 10-year lifespan based on average domestic use of 2.7 hours per day.
This pack contains six bulbs, providing cost-effective coverage for multi-bulb fittings or whole-room refreshes. The frosted glass envelope diffuses the LED elements inside, eliminating visible point sources and reducing glare when the bulb is viewed directly. The bulbs are non-dimmable and operate on standard UK 230V mains power without requiring transformers or driver units.
The E27 base fits the most common lamp holder size in the UK for ceiling pendants, floor lamps and table lamps. The GLS profile matches the traditional household bulb shape, ensuring compatibility with existing shades and diffusers designed for incandescent bulbs. The Energy Rating E classification reflects current EU energy labelling standards for LED products.

Frequently Asked
What does 6500K daylight mean in practice?
6500K produces a cool, bright white light with a slight blue cast, similar to natural daylight at midday. This is cooler and bluer than the 2700K-3000K warm white used in living rooms and bedrooms. The 6500K output increases alertness and visibility, making it well-suited to kitchens, bathrooms, workshops and home offices.
Can these bulbs be used with dimmer switches?
No. These bulbs are non-dimmable and will not function correctly with dimmer switches. Attempting to use them with a dimmer may cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure. If dimming is required, choose a dimmable LED bulb instead.
What wattage incandescent bulb do these replace?
Each 13.8W LED bulb produces 1521 lumens, which is equivalent to a traditional 100W incandescent bulb. The reduction from 100W to 13.8W represents an 86% cut in energy consumption for the same light output.
How long do these bulbs last?
Eveready rates these bulbs for up to 10 years based on average domestic use of 2.7 hours per day. They are also rated for 10,000 switching cycles, meaning they can be turned on and off 10,000 times before performance degrades.
