Description
This is an LED GLS bulb in the familiar pear shape, with an opal plastic shell and a silver-coloured E27 screw cap. It is 11cm long and 6cm across, so it sits where a standard household bulb would. It draws 11.2W and gives 1,521lm of warm light at 3000K, a bright output for a main ceiling light. Its IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry room, never outdoors or near water.
We suggest it for the pendants, ceiling lights and table lamps that carry most of the light in a living room, kitchen, hallway or bedroom. The opal finish spreads the light evenly and softens the glare of the LEDs, which makes it a good choice for an open shade or a bare lampholder, where the bulb itself is in full view. At 3000K the light has a warm, homely tone that sits comfortably with wood, linen and painted walls, while the 1,521lm output is enough to light a room properly rather than just add a glow.
The bulb is not dimmable, so pair it with an ordinary on and off switch rather than a dimmer, which can make a non-dimmable LED flicker or buzz. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz, which covers the mains supply in a British home, and carries an energy class of D. Care is simple: switch off and let the bulb cool before you change it, then wipe the shell with a soft, dry cloth whenever dust builds. Packed, it weighs just 0.075KG, small and light enough to keep a spare or two in a drawer for the evening a bulb finally goes.
