Description
The JCB 8.5W LED GLS bulb is a direct replacement for a traditional 60W incandescent, delivering 806 lumens from an E27 (Edison Screw) fitting. Each bulb in this 4-pack uses 8.5W at 3000K warm white, casting a soft yellowish glow suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and table lamps. The bulbs are non-dimmable and rated Energy Rating F under the revised EU energy labelling scale.
The standard GLS (General Lighting Service) shape measures 60mm diameter by 110mm height, matching the profile of a classic incandescent bulb. This ensures compatibility with most lampshades, pendant fittings and enclosed ceiling fixtures designed for traditional bulbs. The E27 base fits standard Edison Screw sockets found in the majority of UK and European domestic lighting.
The 3000K colour temperature produces warm white light with a slight amber cast, avoiding the cooler blue tones of daylight LEDs. This colour temperature sits between soft white (2700K) and neutral white (4000K), making it versatile for rooms where a cosy atmosphere is preferred over clinical brightness. The 806 lumens output is equivalent to a 60W incandescent, providing enough light for general room illumination without being harsh.
JCB LED bulbs are built around a plastic body rather than glass, reducing breakage risk during handling and installation. The 4-pack format provides spares or allows lighting multiple fittings at a lower per-bulb cost than single-unit purchases. Non-dimmable construction means the bulbs should not be paired with dimmer switches — doing so can cause flickering or premature failure.

Frequently Asked
Are these bulbs dimmable?
No. These are non-dimmable LEDs and must not be used with dimmer switches. Installing them on a dimmer circuit can cause flickering, buzzing or early failure. If you need dimmable LEDs, search for JCB dimmable variants on the Niori site.
What traditional wattage do they replace?
These 8.5W LEDs replace 60W incandescent bulbs. The 806 lumens output is equivalent to a traditional 60W filament bulb, using approximately 85% less energy.
What is the colour temperature?
3000K warm white. This produces a soft yellowish glow similar to halogen bulbs, warmer than daylight LEDs (5000K-6500K) but slightly cooler than traditional incandescent (2700K). Suitable for living rooms, bedrooms and areas where a cosy tone is preferred.
Will they fit my existing lampshade?
The 60mm diameter and 110mm height match the profile of a traditional GLS incandescent bulb, so they fit most lampshades and fittings designed for standard bulbs. The E27 base is the standard Edison Screw size used in the majority of UK and European domestic lighting.
