E14 (SES) Oven Bulb 25W 150lm Non-Dimmable - Warm White 2800K

This is a 25W oven lamp with an E14 small Edison screw cap, the small clear bulb that lights the inside of a cooker cavity. It uses a tungsten filament rather than an LED, and that is what lets it sit in the heat: the pack states a 300C heat resistance. Output is 150 lumens at 2,800K, a warm white close to the colour of an old household bulb, so food reads its natural colour through the door instead of looking blue or washed out.

It suits an oven, cooker or range whose existing lamp has the same cap. Before you order, take the old bulb out and look at its base: an E14 cap is a threaded screw roughly 14mm across, and it is easily confused with the 15mm bayonet cap used in some fridges and older cookers, which will not screw in. The lamp normally sits at the back or in an upper corner of the cavity behind a glass cover that unscrews by hand once the oven is cold and isolated. It is worth checking your appliance manual for the maximum wattage it allows before fitting a 25W bulb.

There is no dimming here and none needed: the oven's own door switch or light button does the work, and a filament lamp comes to full brightness the moment it is switched. The pack prints a life of 1 year or 1,000 hours and more than 8,000 on and off cycles, which counts for more in an oven than raw hours, because the light is switched every time the door opens. It runs on 220 to 240V and carries a G energy rating. One unit is one bulb, with a minimum order of 10 in multiples of 10, and it sits alongside our wider range of small cap appliance bulbs, including B15 (SBC) fridge and pygmy bulbs.

Will this bulb fit my oven?

It fits any oven or cooker whose existing lamp has an E14 small Edison screw cap, a threaded base about 14mm across. Unscrew the old bulb and compare it first, because a 15mm bayonet cap will not thread in.

How much heat will it take?

The pack states a 300C heat resistance, so it is built for the inside of a hot oven cavity rather than for a table lamp, pendant or any everyday household fitting.

What does the light actually look like?

150 lumens at 2,800K, a warm white much like an old filament household bulb, and the pack prints a colour rendering index above 90, so food keeps its true colour.

Can it be dimmed?

No. The specification lists it as non-dimmable. It is switched by the appliance itself rather than by a wall dimmer, and it reaches full output the instant it comes on.

Does the manufacturer state an equivalent wattage or an IP rating?

Neither figure is given, so we quote neither. What is stated is 25W drawn, 150 lumens out, 2,800K, a 180 degree beam angle and a G energy rating.

How many bulbs do I receive, and is there a minimum order?

One unit is a single boxed bulb. The minimum order is 10 units, sold in multiples of 10, so quantities run 10, 20, 30 and upwards.
