Description
The JCB 4.9W LED GLS bulb uses an E27 (Edison Screw) base and delivers 470 lumens of 3000K warm white light while drawing 4.9W from the mains. The bulb offers a direct replacement for traditional 40W incandescent GLS bulbs, fitting the same lampholders and providing comparable brightness at 88% lower energy consumption.
Designed for general lighting in homes, offices and hospitality settings, the bulb suits ceiling pendants, table lamps, desk lamps and wall-mounted fittings where an E27 base is standard. The 3000K colour temperature produces a soft warm white tone that works well in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways where a relaxed atmosphere is preferred over the cooler white of task lighting. The bulb is non-dimmable and provides consistent, flicker-free output on standard UK 230V circuits.
The GLS (General Lamp Service) shape is the classic pear-shaped bulb profile with a 60mm diameter and 110mm total height. The frosted white finish diffuses the internal LED array evenly, eliminating visible hotspots or striping when viewed directly. JCB rates the bulb for up to 10 years of typical domestic use, based on an average 2.7 hours per day operating period. The 180-degree beam angle distributes light broadly, making the bulb suitable for open-shade fittings and exposed pendants where wide dispersion is needed.

Frequently Asked
What incandescent wattage does this replace?
This 4.9W LED bulb replaces a traditional 40W incandescent GLS bulb, delivering 470 lumens at 88% lower energy draw. It fits the same E27 lampholders and provides comparable brightness for general room lighting.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No. This bulb is non-dimmable and must be used on standard on/off circuits. Pairing it with a dimmer switch may cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What colour is the light output?
The bulb produces 3000K warm white light, similar in tone to a traditional incandescent bulb. This colour temperature sits between the warmer 2700K and the cooler 4000K neutrals, making it suitable for living spaces where a relaxed atmosphere is preferred.
How long does the bulb last?
JCB rates this bulb for up to 10 years of typical domestic use, based on an average operating period of 2.7 hours per day. Actual lifespan depends on usage patterns and ambient temperature.
