Description
This is a classic GLS bulb, the familiar pear shape most of us picture when we think of a light bulb, with an opal white top and a silver E27 screw cap. Inside, LED technology draws 8W and gives 806lm of cool white light, so you get a bright, crisp light from very little power. It is meant for lamps and fittings indoors, where it simply screws in like the bulb it replaces.
Cool white light is clear and fresh, the kind that helps with close work, so we would put this bulb where you want to see properly: a kitchen pendant, a desk lamp in a study or home office, a utility room or a reading lamp beside a favourite chair. Any lampholder that takes an E27 cap will take it, and that covers a great many table lamps, floor lamps and pendants. It is the easy choice when you are replacing a tired old bulb and want a crisp, white light in its place.
The bulb carries an energy class of F, the label to compare when you weigh it against other bulbs of similar brightness. Lumens tell you how much light a bulb gives, while watts tell you how much power it draws; at 806lm from 8W, this one gives plenty of light for a modest draw. Before you buy, check that your lamp or fitting takes an E27 screw cap and that cool white is the tone you want in the room.
