Description
The Eveready oven bulb is a 25W incandescent bulb rated to withstand temperatures up to 300°C, supplied as a 2-pack with E14 (SES) screw bases. Each bulb produces 150 lumens at 2800K, delivering a warm white light that illuminates oven interiors during cooking without affecting the oven's temperature control or performance.
Designed specifically for use inside ovens, microwaves with oven functions, and other high-temperature kitchen appliances, the bulbs use a heat-resistant glass envelope and filament assembly that maintains structural integrity under sustained heat. The compact barrel shape and E14 base fit standard oven light fixtures without modification. Installation involves unscrewing the old bulb once the appliance has cooled and the power is isolated, then screwing in the replacement.
The 25W power draw is typical for appliance lighting and provides sufficient brightness to monitor food through the oven door glass without needing to open the oven mid-cook. The 2800K colour temperature sits at the warm end of the spectrum, similar to traditional filament bulbs, and does not cast the blue-tinted light associated with daylight-rated LEDs. The bulbs are rated Energy Class G, reflecting the incandescent technology rather than LED efficiency, but this is standard for oven bulbs where heat resistance takes priority over energy consumption.
Each bulb in the pack is identical, allowing one to be kept as a spare for immediate replacement when the first bulb reaches end-of-life. The average rated lamp life is approximately 1 year under typical domestic oven use patterns.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used in a fridge or freezer?
No. This bulb is rated for high temperatures up to 300°C and is designed for ovens. Fridge and freezer appliances require bulbs rated for low temperatures, which use different glass and filament specifications.
How do I know if my oven uses an E14 base?
The E14 base (also called SES or Small Edison Screw) measures 14mm in diameter at the threaded metal section. Most modern ovens in the UK use E14, but older models may use E27. Check your existing bulb or consult your oven manual before ordering.
Why not use an LED oven bulb instead?
Very few LED bulbs are rated to withstand 300°C sustained heat. Most LED oven bulbs are rated to 100-150°C maximum, which is insufficient for self-cleaning ovens or high-temperature roasting. Incandescent bulbs remain the safer choice for ovens that regularly exceed 200°C.
How long do these bulbs typically last?
The rated lamp life is approximately 1 year under typical domestic use. Actual lifespan depends on oven usage frequency and temperature cycling — ovens used daily at high temperatures may shorten bulb life, while occasional-use ovens may extend it beyond a year.
