E14 (SES) LED Golf Bulb 4.9W 470lm - Warm White 3000K - JCB

A golf ball lamp is the small round bulb that suits table lamps, wall lights and compact pendants, where a full size GLS bulb would look oversized and sit too proud of the shade. This JCB LED draws 4.9W and gives 470 lumens, which the pack prints as a 40W replacement, so it is a like for like swap for an older incandescent golf bulb with no loss of light. The cap is E14, the small screw fitting often written as SES, with a 14mm thread rather than the 27mm of a standard screw cap. A frosted dome softens the output across a wide 180 degree beam.

Warm white at 3000K is the gentler end of white light, a little crisper than the 2700K of a traditional filament bulb but still soft enough to feel restful in the evening. That suits bedside lamps, hallway wall lights and multi lamp chandeliers, where several golf bulbs share the work and a colder light would feel clinical. If you are filling a fitting with more than one bulb, match the colour temperature across all of them: mixing 3000K with 4000K in the same fitting is the most common reason a room looks uneven. The IP20 rating places it in dry indoor positions.

This lamp is not dimmable, so wire it to an ordinary on and off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. The energy label carries a class F rating and records 6kWh per 1000 hours of use. The pack states a life of up to 10 years and 10,000 hours. Each unit is a single bulb, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, which suits a rewire or a box of spares. Other JCB LED bulbs on sale here include E14 candle bulbs at 4.9W in cool white and daylight, and a B15 golf bulb at 4.9W in warm white.

Will this fit a lamp that takes SES bulbs?

Yes. E14 and SES are two names for the same small screw cap, with a 14mm thread. Check the thread on the old bulb before ordering.

How bright is 470 lumens in practice?

The pack gives it as a 40W replacement, so it matches an old 40W incandescent golf bulb. That is ample for a bedside lamp or a chandelier running several lamps.

Can I use it on a dimmer switch?

No. The specification gives it as non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on and off switch rather than a dimmer circuit or a dimming module.

What does 3000K warm white look like next to 2700K?

Slightly cleaner and a shade less amber, while staying firmly on the warm side of white. Beside a 4000K cool white lamp it reads noticeably warmer.

How many bulbs do I receive?

Each unit is one bulb. The minimum order on this listing is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12, so the smallest purchase is 12 bulbs.
