Description
This is a clear glass GLS bulb with a B22 bayonet cap, the traditional push-and-twist fitting used on most older British light fittings. Inside, four LED filament strips run the length of the glass and glow a warm amber, so the bulb looks like the incandescent lamps it replaces while drawing 7W. It gives 806 lumens at 2700K, the warm white most homes are used to from an old 60W bulb, and the pack states an equivalence of 60W conventional. The beam spreads across 280 degrees, so light leaves the bulb in almost every direction rather than pooling downwards.
Because the filaments are on show, this suits fittings where the bulb itself is part of the look: open pendants, a cord set over a kitchen table, wall lights with clear glass shades, or a shade with an open bottom where you see the lamp from below. It is equally at home hidden inside a fabric drum shade in a bedroom or a hallway. Check the cap on the old bulb before ordering: B22 has two small pins on the side of a smooth metal cap and pushes in with a quarter turn, while E27 screws in. The two are not interchangeable.
There is no dimming here; the specification gives Dimmable as No, so pair it with an ordinary on/off switch rather than a dimmer circuit, which can cause flicker or buzz on a non-dimmable lamp. The pack prints a lamp life of 10 years, and the bulb carries energy class E. It is rated IP20, which means it is built for ordinary dry interior use. Each box holds two bulbs and the minimum order is 6 boxes, sold in multiples of 6, which suits landlords or anyone re-lamping a whole house. We stock the same 7W filament GLS in an E27 screw cap, along with B15 candle and golf bulbs in warm white, cool white and daylight.

Frequently Asked
How do I know if my lamp holder takes B22?
Look at the base of the old bulb. A B22 cap is smooth metal with two small pins on opposite sides and locks in with a push and a quarter turn, rather than screwing in like an E27.
How bright is 806 lumens in a room?
It is the usual replacement level for an old 60W incandescent bulb, comfortable as the main light in a bedroom, hallway or small sitting room, and often used in pairs in larger spaces.
Can I put it on a dimmer switch?
No. The specification gives Dimmable as No, so use it with a standard on/off switch. Fitting a non-dimmable lamp to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker, buzzing or early failure.
What does warm white at 2700K actually look like?
It is a soft yellow-toned light close to old filament bulbs, kind to skin tones and warm timber, and much gentler in the evening than a 4000K or 6500K lamp.
Can I use this outside or in a damp space?
It is rated IP20, which gives no protection against water, so keep it indoors in a dry fitting. Anything exposed to weather needs a lamp and fitting rated for that use.
How many bulbs come in an order?
Each box contains two bulbs, and the minimum order is 6 boxes in multiples of 6, so the smallest order brings you twelve bulbs in total.
