Description
The JCB 14W LED GLS bulb fits a standard E27 Edison screw base and delivers 1,521 lumens of 3000K warm white light across a 180° beam angle. The classic GLS (General Lighting Service) shape measures 60mm wide by 120mm tall and fits most pendant shades, table lamp holders, and floor lamp sockets designed for traditional A-shape bulbs.
The 14W draw replaces a 100W incandescent bulb, cutting energy consumption by 86% while producing the same light output. The 3000K colour temperature sits in the warm white spectrum, closer to the soft yellow tone of halogen and incandescent than the cooler white of daylight-rated LEDs, making it comfortable for bedrooms, living rooms, dining areas and hallways where relaxed ambient light is needed.
This is a non-dimmable LED, so it must be used on standard on/off switched circuits rather than dimmer switches. The 180° beam spread illuminates the full bulb surround, making it suitable for bare-bulb pendants, open-cage table lamps, and any fitting where the bulb itself is visible. The rated Energy Rating of F reflects the 2021 EU energy label rescaling, where most LED bulbs now sit between D-G rather than the older A++ scale.
JCB rates this bulb at 10,000 hours rated life, which translates to approximately 10 years of use at 3 hours per day. The bulb operates on 220-240V mains without requiring a transformer or driver, connecting directly to UK lighting circuits.

Frequently Asked
Is this bulb dimmable?
No. This is a non-dimmable LED and must be used on standard on/off switched circuits. Installing it on a dimmer switch may cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What does the 1,521 lumens output compare to?
1,521 lumens is approximately equivalent to a 100W incandescent bulb. This makes the JCB 14W LED a direct replacement for traditional 100W bulbs in ceiling pendants, table lamps and floor lamps where bright ambient light is needed.
Will it fit standard lamp shades?
Yes. The GLS shape is the traditional A-bulb profile at 60mm diameter, so it fits any shade or fitting designed for standard Edison screw bulbs. The 120mm height is typical for this wattage bracket.
How long does the bulb last?
JCB rates this at 10,000 hours, which works out to approximately 10 years if used for 3 hours per day. Actual lifespan depends on operating conditions, mains voltage stability and switching frequency.
