Description
The Eveready 25W pygmy bulb is a compact incandescent lamp with an E14 small Edison screw base, delivering 150 lumens of warm white 3000K light. The tubular pygmy shape measures approximately 57mm in length including the base, making it suited to appliances, small decorative fittings, and enclosed fixtures where space is limited.
Designed for fridges, freezers, cooker hoods, sewing machines, and similar appliances requiring an E14 bulb, the pygmy also fits small table lamps and wall lights where a standard bulb would be too large. The clear glass envelope shows the visible filament when lit, giving the warm glow characteristic of incandescent lighting. The bulb operates on standard 220-240V mains and is non-dimmable.
As an incandescent lamp rated Energy Class G, the 25W pygmy uses more electricity per lumen than LED equivalents but offers instant full brightness without warm-up time and produces a continuous warm spectrum that some users prefer for decorative or mood lighting. The average rated life under typical appliance use is approximately 1,000 hours.

Frequently Asked
What appliances use pygmy bulbs?
Pygmy bulbs are commonly fitted in fridges, freezers, cooker hoods, sewing machines, and microwave ovens where the compact size fits enclosed spaces. They also suit small decorative table lamps and wall lights where a standard bulb would be too large for the shade or fitting.
Can this bulb be used in a dimmer circuit?
No. This is a non-dimmable incandescent bulb and should only be used on standard on/off switching. Pairing it with a dimmer circuit will not provide dimming function and may shorten the bulb's life.
What is the expected lifespan?
Incandescent pygmy bulbs typically last approximately 1,000 hours under standard use. In appliances that are only lit intermittently (such as a fridge), this can translate to 1-2 years of service depending on usage frequency.
Is there an LED alternative?
Yes. LED pygmy bulbs with E14 bases are available and use significantly less power (typically 2-3W) while producing similar or greater light output. Search 'E14 LED pygmy' on the Niori site to compare alternatives.
