B22 (BC) LED Filament GLS Bulb 7W 806lm - Warm White 2700K - Eveready

This is a 7W LED filament bulb in the classic GLS shape, the rounded pear outline used in British homes since the days of incandescent lighting. It takes a B22 bayonet cap, the push-and-twist fitting on the majority of UK pendants and lamp holders. Inside clear glass, straight filament arms run the length of the bulb and glow along their whole length rather than from one point, which is what gives a filament lamp its look when lit. It draws 7W, gives 806 lumens, and the pack rates it as the equal of a 60W conventional bulb.

At 2,700K the light is a warm, yellow-leaning white, close to the colour of old tungsten lamps, which suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas where a cooler white can feel clinical. Because the glass is clear rather than opal, the filaments are on show, so it repays open shades, glass shades and bare-flex pendants where the bulb is part of the look. A dense fabric shade keeps the output but hides the detail. The 280 degree beam spreads light almost all the way around, so it works pointing up or down.

The specification lists it as non-dimmable, so pair it with a plain on-off switch; a dimmer circuit can cause flicker, buzz or a shorter life, and a dimmable lamp is the better answer there. The pack prints a 10 year lamp life at 10,000 hours and more than 10,000 on-off cycles, so frequent switching on a landing or hall is not a problem. The energy label shows class E, and the lamp is rated IP20 for dry indoor positions. Each listing is one bulb, with a minimum order of 5, sold in multiples of 5. We also list the same 7W filament GLS with an E27 screw cap in warm white 2,700K.

How do I know if my light takes a B22 bayonet cap?

Take the old bulb out and look at the base. A B22 cap is smooth metal with two small pins on the sides that push in and twist a quarter turn, rather than a screw thread.

Will 806 lumens match the old 60W bulb I am replacing?

Yes. The pack rates this 7W lamp as the equal of a 60W conventional bulb, and 806 lumens is the usual figure quoted for a 60W replacement in UK lighting.

Can I put it on a dimmer switch?

No. The specification lists it as non-dimmable, so it needs a plain on-off switch. On a dimmer circuit you may get flicker or buzz and a shorter working life.

What does 2,700K warm white look like in a room?

It is a soft yellow-leaning white, much like traditional tungsten lighting. It flatters warm paint, wood and textiles, and reads as relaxing rather than the crisper, bluer look of 4000K or 6500K.

How many bulbs will I receive?

One bulb per unit, boxed singly. The minimum order on this listing is 5, sold in multiples of 5, so the smallest purchase is five single bulbs.

Does the clear glass matter for the shade I choose?

It does. With clear glass the filaments are visible when lit, so open, glass or bare-flex fittings show it at its best; a solid shade keeps the light but hides the filament detail.
