Description
The Eveready 25W pygmy bulb is a compact incandescent lamp with an E14 (small Edison screw) base, rated at 150 lumens and 2800K warm white. The bulb measures approximately 48mm tall and 22mm wide, fitting appliances, fridges, ovens, range hoods, sewing machines and small decorative lamps where a standard bulb is too large.
Designed for appliance and accent lighting rather than general room illumination, the pygmy bulb produces a soft warm glow suited to indicator lights, fridge interiors, oven cavities and bedside lamps. The 25W rating runs on 230V mains and the filament delivers stable output without requiring warm-up time. The non-dimmable construction means the bulb switches on at full brightness and maintains consistent light across its lifespan.
The bulb carries a G energy rating, reflecting the lower efficiency of incandescent technology compared to LED equivalents. Average lifespan is approximately one year under typical appliance use (intermittent switching), which translates to around 1,000 hours of continuous operation. The clear glass envelope and visible tungsten filament give the bulb a traditional aesthetic when used in exposed decorative fittings.

Frequently Asked
What appliances use E14 pygmy bulbs?
E14 pygmy bulbs are commonly used in fridges, freezers, microwave ovens, range hoods, sewing machines and small bedside lamps. The compact size fits cavities and fixtures where a standard E27 bulb would be too large.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No. This is a non-dimmable incandescent bulb designed for appliance use where dimming is not required. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit is not recommended.
How long does the bulb last?
The average lifespan is approximately one year under typical appliance use, which equates to around 1,000 hours of continuous operation. Frequent on-off cycling in fridges or ovens can reduce lifespan slightly.
Can I use this in an oven?
The bulb is designed for appliance use including ovens, but you must check the oven manufacturer's specification for maximum bulb wattage and heat tolerance. Some oven cavities require heat-resistant bulbs rated above 300°C.
