Eveready 8.8W LED GLS Bulb B22 Daylight 6500K 806lm - 2 Pack

The Eveready 8.8W LED GLS bulb delivers 806 lumens of daylight-spectrum light through a B22 bayonet cap fitting, sold as a 2-pack. At 6500K colour temperature, the light sits at the cool end of the white spectrum, producing a bright, crisp output comparable to overcast daylight or office fluorescent lighting. The 8.8W power draw provides light output equivalent to a traditional 60W incandescent bulb.

Designed for rooms where clarity and task visibility are priorities over ambient warmth, these bulbs suit kitchens, utility rooms, home offices, garages and workshops. The 220° beam angle floods a wide area rather than creating a focused spot, making them appropriate for general ceiling lighting in pendants, open shades and bare-bulb fittings. The B22 bayonet base fits standard UK lamp holders with a quarter-turn twist-and-lock action.

The frosted GLS (general lamp service) shape is the classic bulb profile at 60mm diameter and 108mm height, so it fits most traditional light fittings without protruding. The bulbs are non-dimmable and should not be used with dimmer switches. Eveready rates them with an F energy rating under the revised EU energy label scale introduced in 2021, which recalibrated efficiency classifications to reflect advances in LED technology.

Each bulb weighs 60g and contains no mercury, making disposal simpler than older compact fluorescent alternatives. The 2-pack format reduces packaging waste and provides a matched pair for symmetrical fittings or replacement stock for high-use areas.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No. This is a non-dimmable LED bulb and must not be used with dimmer switches. Using a non-dimmable bulb on a dimmer circuit can cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.

What is 6500K daylight best used for?

6500K daylight produces a cool, bright white light similar to overcast daylight. It works well in task-focused environments like kitchens, home offices, garages and workshops where clarity and visibility are more important than a warm, relaxing atmosphere. For living rooms and bedrooms, most people prefer 2700K-3000K warm white.

How does this compare to a traditional 60W bulb?

This 8.8W LED produces 806 lumens, which is roughly equivalent to the light output of a traditional 60W incandescent bulb. However, the colour temperature differs: a traditional tungsten bulb emits warm 2700K light, while this Eveready bulb emits cool 6500K daylight.

Will this fit my existing B22 bayonet socket?

Yes. The B22 bayonet cap is the standard UK fitting for most ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps. The bulb measures 60mm in diameter and 108mm in height, which is the same as a traditional GLS bulb, so it will fit any fitting that previously took a standard incandescent or CFL bulb.
