Description
The Eveready 4.9W LED golf ball bulb delivers 470 lumens of 6500K daylight-white light through a B15 small bayonet cap fitting. The golf ball shape measures 45mm diameter and 78mm total height, making it compatible with compact table lamps, bedside lights, and small ceiling fixtures where a standard A60 GLS bulb would be too large. The 4.9W consumption replaces a conventional 40W incandescent while drawing approximately one-eighth of the energy.
The 6500K colour temperature produces a cool, crisp white light that enhances visibility in task-oriented areas such as kitchens, home offices, workshops, and bathrooms. The 240-degree beam angle provides wide distribution rather than focused spot lighting, so the bulb works as general room lighting in smaller spaces or as accent lighting in multi-bulb fittings. The B15 small bayonet cap is common in UK table lamps, wall lights, and older ceiling fixtures, particularly in period properties.
Rated for 10,000 hours of operation across 10 years, the LED chip is housed in a frosted opal polycarbonate shell that diffuses the light source and softens glare. The bulb operates on 220-240V mains without requiring a transformer or driver, and the mercury-free construction meets current RoHS compliance. At 30g the bulb adds minimal load to lightweight lampshades or suspension fittings. The non-dimmable driver means it should be used only on standard on/off switching, not with dimmer circuits.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This is a non-dimmable LED bulb and must be used only with standard on/off switching. Installing it on a dimmer circuit may cause flickering, buzzing, or premature failure of the LED driver.
What is the difference between B15 and B22?
B15 is a small bayonet cap with a 15mm diameter fitting, commonly found in table lamps, bedside lights, and some older wall lights. B22 is the standard UK bayonet cap at 22mm diameter, used in most ceiling lights and larger fixtures. The two are not interchangeable.
Is 6500K daylight too harsh for a bedroom?
6500K produces a cool, clinical white light that works well in task-oriented spaces like kitchens and bathrooms but may feel too bright and cold for bedrooms or living rooms where a warmer 2700K-3000K tone is usually preferred for ambient lighting.
What is the actual brightness compared to an old bulb?
At 470 lumens, this bulb matches the output of a conventional 40W incandescent. It provides enough light for a bedside table lamp or small room accent lighting but would not be bright enough as the sole light source in a larger room.
