Eveready 4.9W LED Golf Ball Bulb E14 Warm White 3000K (2 Pack)

The Eveready 4.9W LED golf ball bulb comes as a 2-pack, each bulb delivering 470 lumens of warm white 3000K light through an E14 small Edison screw base. The compact golf ball shape measures 45mm diameter by 78mm height, fitting smaller decorative fittings where standard A-shape bulbs would be too large. Each bulb draws 4.9W on 230V mains, replacing traditional 40W incandescent golf balls at an 88% reduction in power consumption.

Designed for bedside lamps, chandeliers, wall sconces and decorative fittings using the E14 base, the bulbs provide non-dimmable operation with a wide 240-degree beam angle that spreads light evenly through fabric shades and frosted glass. The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm white tone suited to bedrooms, living rooms and reading areas where softer ambient light is preferred over the cooler tones of daylight-rated LEDs. Rated lifespan reaches 10,000 hours at typical residential usage patterns.

The frosted white glass envelope diffuses the LED chips inside, removing visible hot-spots and creating uniform light output from all viewing angles. The bulbs carry an F energy rating under the revised 2021 EU energy labelling scale, where most LED bulbs now fall into D-G grades due to stricter efficiency thresholds. Mercury-free construction means the bulbs can be disposed of with household waste at end of life, though recycling through WEEE collection points is recommended.

Can these bulbs be used with dimmer switches?

No. These are non-dimmable LED bulbs and will not function correctly with dimmer switches. Using them on a dimmer circuit may cause flickering, reduced lifespan or failure. For dimmable operation, select a bulb specifically rated as dimmable.

What's the difference between E14 and E27 bases?

E14 is the small Edison screw with a 14mm diameter thread, commonly used in chandeliers, wall lights and compact decorative fittings. E27 is the standard Edison screw at 27mm diameter, used in most ceiling lights and table lamps. These bulbs will only fit E14 sockets.

How bright is 470 lumens compared to old incandescent bulbs?

470 lumens matches the light output of a traditional 40W incandescent golf ball bulb. This level of brightness suits bedside reading, ambient lighting in living rooms, or decorative chandeliers where multiple bulbs combine to provide overall room illumination.

What does the F energy rating mean?

The F rating reflects the 2021 EU energy labelling scale, which applies stricter efficiency thresholds than the previous A-G scale. Most LED bulbs now rate between D and G under this system. An F rating still represents significantly better efficiency than halogen or incandescent equivalents.
