Description
The Eveready 8W LED GLS filament bulb delivers 1050 lumens of warm white 2700K light through a clear glass envelope with visible LED filaments, mimicking the appearance of a traditional incandescent bulb. The B22 bayonet cap fits standard UK ceiling roses and table lamp sockets, and the 8W draw replaces a 75W incandescent bulb at roughly one-tenth of the power consumption.
Designed for general lighting in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and table lamps, the GLS (General Lighting Service) shape provides 280-degree beam spread, casting light in all directions rather than focusing it downward like a spotlight. The 2700K colour temperature produces a warm yellow-toned light similar to traditional tungsten bulbs, making it comfortable for evening use and residential interiors where a cooler daylight tone would feel too clinical.
The bulb carries an E energy rating under current UK labelling, which sits mid-range for LED technology as of 2024. The visible filaments inside the clear glass envelope give the bulb a decorative quality when used in exposed fittings such as pendant shades, table lamps with open bases, or wall lights where the bulb is on show. The non-dimmable construction means it must be paired with standard on/off switches only.
At 109mm tall and 60mm diameter, the bulb matches the dimensions of a classic GLS shape and fits most lampshades and ceiling fixtures designed for standard household bulbs. The relatively lightweight 40g construction reduces strain on older lamp holders and pendant cables compared to heavier compact fluorescent alternatives.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. The bulb is non-dimmable and must be used with a standard on/off switch only. Attempting to use it with a dimmer will likely cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What wattage incandescent does it replace?
The 8W LED output of 1050 lumens is equivalent to a 75W traditional incandescent bulb, reducing energy consumption by approximately 89% for the same light output.
What does 2700K warm white look like?
2700K produces a warm yellow-toned light similar to traditional tungsten bulbs. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and spaces where a cosy evening atmosphere is preferred over the cooler, bluer tones of daylight-rated bulbs at 4000K and above.
Will it fit my existing lampshade or pendant?
The bulb uses a standard GLS shape at 60mm diameter and 109mm height, matching classic household bulb dimensions. It fits most ceiling pendants, table lamps and wall lights designed for B22 bayonet-cap bulbs. Check your shade's maximum bulb size if using a particularly small or enclosed fitting.
