Description
This is a warm white LED bulb with a GX53 cap, a slim disc lamp for fittings made to take that cap. It measures 7.4cm across and just 2.9cm deep, so it suits shallow fittings where a tall bulb has no room. A frosted plastic diffuser with a satin finish covers the LEDs and softens them into an even glow, and a white finned base sits behind it. It draws 4.9W and gives 470lm of light at 3000K, a warm white that feels relaxed rather than clinical. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms only.
We would put it in a hallway, on the landing, in a bedroom or in the living room, anywhere you want a soft, homely light rather than a bright working one. At 470lm a single bulb gives a gentle level of light, so where a room has several GX53 fittings they build up a comfortable, even brightness together. Replacing a tired or failed GX53 lamp with this one is a simple way to bring back warm light at a modest 4.9W.
The shade is plastic with a satin finish, and the whole bulb is light, weighing 0.068KG packed. It runs from a mains supply of 220-240V, 50/60Hz. It is not dimmable, so use it in a fitting controlled by an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer. Its energy class is F. Before you buy, check that your fitting takes a GX53 cap and has room for a bulb 7.4cm across and 2.9cm deep.
