Description
This is a warm white LED GLS bulb in the classic pear shape, with an E27 screw cap and an opal glass shell that hides the light source and gives a soft, even glow. It is 10.6cm long and 6cm across at its widest point, so it slips into pendants, table lamps and floor lamps whose lampholder takes an E27 cap. It draws 4.5W and gives 470lm at 3000K, a warm light that sits happily in rooms used in the evening. The IP rating is IP20, and that settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms.
We would put it in a living room, bedroom, hallway or dining room, anywhere you want a calm, warm light rather than a bright, cool one. The opal glass earns its place when the bulb is on show: in a bare pendant or an open cage shade you see a smooth white globe rather than a glaring point of light, which is much gentler on the eyes. It also suits a bedside lamp, where harsh light would keep you awake. For anyone replacing old bulbs, the gain is simple: a draw of just 4.5W keeps running costs modest.
The shell is glass with an opal finish, and the screw cap is metal. It runs on mains power at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, the standard household supply, and it carries an energy class of F. Packed, it weighs just 0.045KG. To change it, switch the lamp off and let the old bulb cool before you unscrew it. For care, wipe the glass with a soft, dry cloth while the lamp is off and cool, so the glow stays clean and even. Check that your lampholder takes an E27 screw cap before you order, because a bayonet holder will not accept it.
