Description
The Eveready 4.9W LED golf ball bulb is a compact E27-base LED rated at 470 lumens and 6500K daylight colour temperature. At 45mm diameter and 78mm overall height, the golf ball form factor fits smaller table lamps, wall lights, pendant clusters and decorative fittings where a full-size A60 bulb would overwhelm the proportions. The 4.9W draw delivers light output equivalent to a 40W halogen or incandescent golf ball.
Designed for general lighting in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, home offices and commercial spaces where crisp white light supports task work, the 6500K output sits at the cool end of the spectrum and renders colours more accurately than warm white bulbs. The 240-degree beam angle provides wide coverage from a single point source, making it suitable for pendant fittings, wall brackets and open-shade table lamps where the bulb is partially or fully exposed.
The bulb is non-dimmable and operates on 230V mains without a transformer. The E27 Edison screw base fits standard UK lamp holders directly. Rated at 10,000 hours life expectancy, the bulb should run for approximately 10 years at 3 hours per day before needing replacement. The energy rating of F reflects the relatively lower lumen-per-watt efficiency of this compact form factor compared to larger LED bulbs, but still represents a significant improvement over halogen equivalents.

Frequently Asked
Is this bulb dimmable?
No. The Eveready 4.9W golf ball is a non-dimmable LED and will not function correctly with dimmer switches. Attempting to dim a non-dimmable LED can cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What's the difference between 6500K daylight and warm white bulbs?
6500K daylight produces a cool, crisp white light that appears bluer and more clinical than warm white (2700K-3000K). Daylight bulbs are typically used in kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces where clear visibility and colour accuracy matter. Warm white is more common in living rooms and bedrooms where a softer, more relaxed ambience is preferred.
What fixtures does a golf ball bulb suit?
The 45mm diameter golf ball shape works in compact table lamps, wall brackets, chandeliers with multiple small bulbs, decorative pendants and any fitting where a standard A60 bulb would look too large. The form factor is particularly common in traditional crystal chandeliers and vintage-style wall lights.
How long will this bulb last?
Rated at 10,000 hours, the bulb should run for approximately 10 years if used 3 hours per day, or around 3 years at 9 hours per day. Actual lifespan depends on operating conditions, switching frequency and ambient temperature.
