Description
This is a small appliance bulb: a short clear glass tube with a rounded top and the 14mm small Edison screw cap, sold as a blister of two. It draws 25W and gives 150 lumens of warm white light, with the filament plainly on show through the glass. What separates it from an ordinary small screw bulb is heat tolerance, and the retail pack rates it to 300 degrees C, so it is built to sit in the cavity of a working oven rather than in a table lamp. The specification lists the colour as warm white at 3,000K, while the pack prints 2,800 Kelvins; either way the light is on the yellow side of white.
It belongs in a cooker, range or built-in oven that takes an E14 lamp behind a heatproof glass cover, the light that comes on when the door opens. Before ordering, take the old bulb out and look at the cap. E14 is the small Edison screw, SES for short, and it twists in clockwise; if the old one pushes in and turns with two side pins, that is a bayonet cap and this will not fit. Check what wattage your appliance manual specifies as well, because oven lamp holders are not all rated the same.
There is no dimming: the specification lists the lamp as non-dimmable, and in practice the appliance switches it. The energy label carries class G, which is what a filament lamp of this kind earns, and the pack prints a one year lamp life. One unit here is a blister of two bulbs, so the spare stays in the drawer for the next time the light goes, and the listing carries a minimum order of ten units, sold in multiples of ten. It sits alongside our wider range of small-cap appliance bulbs, which includes B15 (SBC) fridge and pygmy bulbs.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my oven?
It fits any appliance holder that takes an E14 small Edison screw lamp, which is the 14mm screw cap shown on the bulb. Check your appliance manual for the cap and the wattage it specifies before ordering.
How much light does 150 lumens actually give?
Enough to see a tray and a shelf clearly through the door glass. It is appliance lighting rather than room lighting, so do not judge it against a standard household bulb.
Can this bulb be dimmed?
No. The specification lists it as non-dimmable, and an oven lamp is switched by the appliance itself, either by the door catch or by a switch on the fascia.
How much heat can it take?
The retail pack rates the lamp to 300 degrees C, which is why it is sold as an oven lamp rather than as a general purpose small screw bulb for a light fitting.
Does the pack give an equivalent wattage or an IP rating?
Neither. The manufacturer prints no equivalent wattage and no IP rating for this lamp, so we state neither figure; what is printed is 25W, 150 lumens and energy class G.
How many bulbs do I receive, and what is the minimum order?
One unit is a blister of two bulbs. The minimum order is ten units in multiples of ten, so the smallest order brings twenty bulbs in ten blisters.
