Description
This is an opal LED globe bulb with an E27 screw cap, a generous round bulb that is 9.5cm across and 14.2cm long. A smooth opal plastic dome sits over a white body that narrows to a silver screw cap, and from 8.8W it gives 1,200 lumens of cool white light at 4000K. It is rated IP20, and that settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms, in a lamp or fitting that takes an E27 cap.
A globe this size is made to be seen, so it suits open pendants, bare flex drops, wall lights and table lamps where the bulb shows rather than hiding behind a shade. The opal finish spreads the light evenly and takes the harsh edge off the glare a clear bulb gives, which matters when the bulb hangs near eye level. Cool white at 4000K is crisp and clear, a good match for kitchens, home offices, hallways, studies and workshops, wherever you want to see detail well. At 1,200 lumens there is plenty of light for the main ceiling point in a working room.
The shade is plastic rather than glass, which keeps the bulb light, at 0.17KG packed, and makes it less likely to break if it slips from your hand while you change it. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz, the normal mains supply in UK homes, and carries energy class D. It is not dimmable, so we recommend it for a lamp or fitting on an ordinary switch, never on a dimmer circuit. One practical note before you order: measure the space inside your shade or fitting first, because a globe 9.5cm across needs more room than a standard bulb and has to clear the shade and any frame around it.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this globe bulb on a dimmer switch?
No. The bulb is not dimmable, so use it in a lamp or fitting on an ordinary on and off switch rather than a dimmer circuit.
How bright is the light from this bulb?
It gives 1,200 lumens of cool white light at 4000K while drawing 8.8W, enough for the main ceiling light in a working room such as a kitchen or study.
Which lamps and fittings will this bulb suit?
It suits any lamp or fitting with an E27 screw cap holder and enough room for a globe 9.5cm across and 14.2cm long, best where the bulb is on show.
Can I put this bulb in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so keep it to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, studies and other dry rooms away from water.
What material is the shade?
The opal shade is plastic, which keeps the bulb light at 0.17KG packed and spreads the light evenly, so the glare is softer than a clear bulb gives.
Which energy class is the bulb?
The bulb carries energy class D and runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz, which covers the normal mains supply in UK homes.
