Description
The JCB 4.9W LED golf ball bulb is a compact E14 (small Edison screw) fitting delivering 470 lumens at 4000K cool white colour temperature, using 4.9W of power. The golf ball profile measures 45mm diameter by 78mm height, designed for smaller light fittings where a standard GLS bulb won't fit — chandeliers with narrow lampshades, bedside table lamps, wall sconces, and decorative fixtures with exposed bulbs.
The 4000K cool white output provides crisp, neutral light that suits task-focused areas including kitchens, home offices, utility rooms, and workshops where colour accuracy and clarity matter more than warmth. The 180-degree beam angle distributes light widely from the bulb, making it suitable for both downward-facing and upward-facing fittings. The bulb is non-dimmable and will not function correctly if paired with a dimmer switch.
At 4.9W this LED replaces a traditional 40W incandescent golf ball bulb, using 85% less power for the same light output. The bulb carries an Energy Rating of F under the revised 2021 EU energy labelling scale, which rates all LEDs more strictly than the previous A++ to E system. JCB backs the bulb with a 10-year performance warranty under typical domestic use conditions.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This bulb is non-dimmable and will not function correctly with dimmer switches. Attempting to use it on a dimmed circuit may cause flickering or shorten the bulb's lifespan. If you need dimmable E14 golf ball bulbs, use the site filters to find dimmable alternatives.
What does 4000K cool white look like?
4000K sits between warm white (2700K-3000K) and daylight white (5000K-6500K), producing a neutral, crisp light without the yellow cast of warm white or the blue tint of daylight. It's commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces where colour accuracy and clarity are priorities.
What wattage incandescent does this replace?
This 4.9W LED produces 470 lumens, equivalent to a traditional 40W incandescent golf ball bulb. It uses approximately 85% less power while delivering the same light output.
What does the Energy Rating F mean?
The F rating reflects the revised 2021 EU energy labelling scale, which rates all LEDs more strictly than the previous A++ to E system. An F-rated LED is still far more efficient than any halogen or incandescent bulb and uses a fraction of the energy for the same light output.
