Description
The Eveready 8.8W LED GLS bulb is a B22 bayonet-cap replacement for traditional 60W incandescent bulbs, delivering 806 lumens of warm white light at 3000K while consuming 85% less energy. Each bulb in this twin pack fits standard bayonet lampholders found across most UK ceiling fittings, table lamps and wall lights. The GLS (General Lighting Service) shape matches the classic pear-shaped profile of incandescent bulbs, making the LED a direct retrofit without visible design changes to existing fixtures.
Designed for general household lighting where dimming is not required, these bulbs suit bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and dining rooms needing consistent ambient light throughout the evening. The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm white tone similar to halogen or incandescent sources, avoiding the cooler blue-white cast of higher Kelvin LEDs. The 220° beam angle provides wide-area coverage from ceiling pendants and table lamp shades, replicating the omnidirectional spread of filament bulbs.
Each bulb weighs 60g and measures 108mm in height by 60mm in diameter, fitting within the shade clearances of most traditional lampholders. The LED is rated at 10 years average lamp life based on typical domestic use of 2.7 hours per day, reducing the frequency of replacements compared to incandescent or CFL sources. The bulbs are non-dimmable and operate on 220-240V mains voltage without requiring transformers or additional control gear.
The twin pack provides immediate spares or allows pairing in symmetrical fittings such as bedside table lamps or matching wall lights. The mercury-free composition meets current environmental safety standards, and the energy rating of F reflects the performance within the updated 2021 EU energy label scale where A-rated LEDs represent the most efficient available technology.

Frequently Asked
Can these bulbs be used with dimmer switches?
No. These are non-dimmable LEDs and must not be used with dimmer switches. Attempting to dim a non-dimmable LED can cause flickering, buzzing, shortened lifespan or complete failure. If dimming is required, select a dimmable LED bulb instead.
What does the 806 lumen output compare to?
806 lumens is approximately equivalent to the light output of a traditional 60W incandescent bulb. This level suits general ambient lighting in living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where soft overhead or table lamp light is needed.
How long do these bulbs last?
Eveready rates these LEDs at 10 years average lamp life based on domestic use of 2.7 hours per day. In practice, lifespan varies with actual usage patterns, ambient temperature and mains voltage quality, but LEDs typically outlast incandescent bulbs by a factor of 10-15 times.
Will these fit E27 screw fittings?
No. These bulbs have a B22 bayonet cap (22mm diameter with two side pins). They fit only UK bayonet lampholders. For screw fittings, you need an E27 or E14 base type depending on the size of the screw thread in your lampholder.
