Description
The Eveready 4.9W LED golf ball bulb delivers 470 lumens of 4000K cool white light through a B22 bayonet cap fitting. The compact golf ball shape measures 45mm in diameter and 78mm in height, making it suitable for table lamps, wall lights, and pendant fittings where a smaller bulb profile is needed. The 4.9W draw replaces a traditional 40W incandescent bulb, reducing energy consumption by approximately 88%.
Designed for residential and commercial spaces where crisp, neutral light is needed — kitchens, bathrooms, offices, retail changing rooms — the 4000K colour temperature sits between warm yellow and daylight blue, providing clarity without the harshness of cooler LED options. The 240-degree beam angle gives wide light distribution from the bulb, comparable to traditional incandescent spread. Operating on standard 220-240V mains, the bulb fits any UK fixture with a B22 socket.
The bulb is rated for a 10-year lifespan under typical residential use (approximately 15,000 hours at 4 hours per day). The construction is mercury-free, making disposal safer than fluorescent alternatives. The bulb carries an F energy rating under current UK energy labelling standards. Non-dimmable — attempting to use this bulb with a dimmer switch will cause flickering or failure.

Frequently Asked
What does 4000K cool white look like?
4000K is a neutral white that sits between warm yellow (2700K-3000K) and daylight blue (5000K+). It provides clear, crisp light without the warm glow of traditional incandescent bulbs or the clinical brightness of daylight LEDs. Commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces where task visibility matters.
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This is a non-dimmable LED bulb. Using it with a dimmer switch will cause flickering, buzzing, reduced lifespan or immediate failure. If dimming is required, choose a dimmable-rated LED bulb instead.
What does the golf ball shape suit?
The compact 45mm diameter golf ball profile fits smaller lamp shades, wall sconces, pendant fittings and decorative fixtures where a standard GLS bulb would be too large or visually intrusive. Common in bedside lamps, hallway wall lights and bathroom mirror fittings.
How long does the bulb last?
Eveready rates this bulb for 10 years under typical residential use, equivalent to approximately 15,000 hours. At 4 hours per day that works out to roughly 10 years; at 8 hours per day (commercial or high-use residential) expect closer to 5 years before failure.
