Description
The Eveready 8.8W LED GLS bulb uses a B22 bayonet cap and delivers 806 lumens of warm white 3000K light, providing a direct replacement for traditional 60W incandescent bulbs. The LED consumes 8.8W on 220-240V mains, reducing energy use by approximately 85% compared to the incandescent equivalent whilst producing the same light output.
Designed for general domestic lighting, the bulb suits table lamps, ceiling pendants, wall lights and floor lamps in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining rooms where a soft warm white light is preferred over cooler daylight tones. The 220° beam angle spreads light widely across the room rather than concentrating it in a narrow spotlight effect, making it suitable for ambient rather than task lighting. The B22 bayonet fitting pushes and twists into place in standard UK lamp holders.
The bulb measures 60mm diameter by 108mm height, matching the classic GLS (general lighting service) shape that fits most domestic light fittings designed for traditional incandescent bulbs. The frosted finish diffuses the LED elements inside the bulb to create even light distribution without visible hotspots. This bulb is non-dimmable and will not function correctly on dimmer switches — attempting to dim it may cause flickering or damage to the bulb or dimmer circuit.
Eveready rates this LED bulb for 10,000 hours of use, which translates to approximately 10 years of typical domestic use at 3 hours per day. The bulb contains no mercury, making it safer to handle and simpler to dispose of than compact fluorescent equivalents.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This bulb is non-dimmable and will not function correctly on dimmer circuits. Attempting to use it with a dimmer may cause flickering, buzzing, or damage to the bulb or dimmer. For dimmable LED bulbs, see the dimmable variants in the Eveready range or use the filter options at Niori.
What's the difference between 3000K warm white and daylight bulbs?
3000K warm white produces a soft yellowish-white light similar to traditional incandescent bulbs, creating a relaxed atmosphere in living spaces. Daylight bulbs (5000K-6500K) produce a cooler blue-white light closer to natural daylight, typically used in kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces where clarity is prioritised over warmth.
How long does this bulb last?
Eveready rates this LED for 10,000 hours of use. At typical domestic use of 3 hours per day, that equates to approximately 10 years before the bulb reaches end of life. Actual lifespan varies depending on usage patterns and environmental conditions.
What does the F energy rating mean?
The F rating is on the updated EU energy label scale introduced in 2021, which recalibrated the previous A++ to E scale. An F-rated LED bulb is still significantly more efficient than halogen or incandescent equivalents, which typically fall into G rating, but less efficient than newer LED designs rated D or E.
