JCB 8.5W LED GLS Bulb E27 3000K Warm White - 806lm Non-Dimmable

The JCB 8.5W LED GLS bulb delivers 806 lumens of 3000K warm white light through a standard E27 (Edison Screw) base, replacing a traditional 60W incandescent bulb while consuming 85% less energy. The classic GLS (General Lighting Service) A60 shape fits the same fixtures as the incandescent bulbs it replaces, from table lamps and ceiling pendants to wall sconces and bedside lights.

Designed for rooms where consistent ambient lighting is needed, the bulb suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas and hallways. The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm white tone closer to traditional tungsten than cooler daylight LEDs, helping to maintain the colour palette in rooms with warm-toned furnishings, wood floors or soft textiles. The 180-degree beam angle provides wide light distribution from a single bulb, reducing the number of fittings needed to achieve even coverage.

The non-dimmable design provides steady, flicker-free output at full brightness when switched on, making it suitable for fixtures without dimmer controls. The bulb measures 60mm diameter by 110mm height, matching standard GLS proportions so it sits within shades and diffusers designed for incandescent bulbs without protruding. Energy Rating F reflects current EU labelling standards for LED products following the 2021 rescaling — the bulb remains significantly more efficient than the halogen and incandescent alternatives it replaces.

Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?

No. This is a non-dimmable LED bulb and will not function correctly on a dimmer circuit. Installing it in a dimmable fixture may cause flickering, reduced lifespan or permanent damage to the bulb. If you need dimming capability, look for JCB dimmable LED bulbs in the same lumen and colour temperature range.

What wattage incandescent does this replace?

This 8.5W LED produces 806 lumens, which is equivalent to a traditional 60W incandescent bulb. The 85% reduction in energy consumption comes from the higher efficiency of LED technology.

What colour is 3000K warm white?

3000K produces a warm white tone similar to traditional tungsten incandescent bulbs, with a slightly yellow-orange cast that complements warm-toned interiors. It sits between the very warm 2700K (closer to candlelight) and neutral 4000K (closer to daylight).

How long does the bulb last?

JCB LED bulbs in this range typically carry a 10-year rated lifespan based on average domestic use of 2.7 hours per day. Actual lifespan depends on operating environment, switching frequency and ambient temperature.
