Description
The Eveready 13.8W LED GLS bulb delivers 1521 lumens of 3000K warm white light from a standard E27 Edison screw base, providing a direct LED replacement for traditional 100W incandescent or halogen GLS bulbs. Each bulb in the 6-pack draws 13.8W on 230V mains, reducing energy consumption by approximately 86% compared to the 100W halogen equivalent while maintaining comparable brightness.
Designed for general household and commercial lighting, the GLS (General Lighting Service) shape fits standard table lamps, floor lamps, pendant fittings and ceiling lights that accept E27 screw-base bulbs. The 3000K colour temperature sits in the warm white range, producing a soft yellowish-white light similar to traditional incandescent bulbs, making it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas and hallways where a welcoming ambient light is needed. The non-dimmable design means these bulbs should be paired with standard on/off switches rather than dimmer circuits.
The 6-pack format provides household stock for multiple rooms or replacements over time, reducing per-bulb cost compared to buying singles. Each bulb carries a rated lifespan of approximately 15,000 hours at typical domestic usage patterns, translating to around 10 years of use at 4 hours per day. The frosted white finish on the bulb envelope diffuses the LED filament array inside, softening shadows and providing more uniform light distribution than clear-glass LED bulbs.
Frequently Asked
Are these bulbs dimmable?
No. These are non-dimmable LED bulbs and should only be used with standard on/off switches. Installing them on a dimmer circuit may cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What is the 100W equivalence based on?
The 100W rating refers to the halogen or incandescent bulb brightness these LEDs replace. At 1521 lumens output, each 13.8W LED produces similar light levels to a traditional 100W incandescent GLS bulb while using approximately one-seventh of the energy.
How long do they last?
Eveready rates these bulbs at approximately 15,000 hours. At 4 hours of daily use, that equates to around 10 years per bulb before noticeable lumen degradation or failure.
Can they be used in enclosed fittings?
LED bulbs generate less heat than halogens, but enclosed fittings with poor ventilation can still reduce lifespan. These bulbs work best in open or semi-enclosed lamp fittings where airflow around the base is not completely restricted.
