Eveready 40W Fireglow B22 Incandescent Bulb - Red, 1950K, Non-Dimmable

The Eveready Fireglow is a 40W incandescent bulb with a red-tinted glass envelope and a B22 bayonet cap, designed to simulate the warm glow of live coals or flames. The bulb emits 390 lumens at 1950K, producing a deep amber-red light that mimics firelight rather than standard warm white. The filament inside the red glass creates the effect when lit, making this a functional decorative bulb rather than a primary light source.

Primarily used in electric fireplaces, fire-effect heaters, and decorative fixtures where a flame-like glow is needed, the Fireglow also works in restaurants, bars and theatrical settings where red accent lighting creates atmosphere. The B22 bayonet fitting is standard across UK electric fire inserts and traditional decorative wall lights. The bulb is non-dimmable and runs at full 40W output when switched on.

The incandescent technology means the bulb generates warmth as well as light, which is useful in fire-effect applications where gentle heat contributes to the illusion. The red glass filters the filament output to the characteristic fireglow tone, distinct from standard red party bulbs which use painted glass. Average rated life is approximately 1,000 hours under typical use. The bulb carries an Energy Rating G, reflecting the lower efficiency of incandescent technology compared to LED equivalents.

Is this suitable for electric fireplaces?

Yes. The Fireglow is designed specifically for fire-effect lighting in electric fireplaces and fire-effect heaters that use a B22 bayonet cap fitting. Check your appliance specification to confirm bulb type before ordering.

Can it be used in standard table lamps?

Physically yes, but the deep red-amber light at 1950K makes this unsuitable for general reading or task lighting. It works best in decorative fixtures where a flame-like glow is the intended effect rather than functional illumination.

What's the difference between this and a standard red bulb?

The Fireglow uses red-tinted glass rather than painted glass, and the 1950K colour temperature is calibrated to simulate coal or flame glow rather than pure red party lighting. The light output is warmer and more amber-toned than a standard red bulb.

How long does the bulb last?

Eveready rates the Fireglow at approximately 1,000 hours under typical use conditions. Actual lifespan depends on operating environment and how frequently the bulb is switched on and off.
