Description
This is a warm white LED GLS bulb with an opal glass shell and an E27 screw cap, the larger screw fitting found on many table lamps, floor lamps and pendants. It keeps the familiar rounded bulb shape, with a smooth milky white finish that hides the light source and a silver-coloured metal cap. It is 10.5cm long and 6cm in diameter, so check that a small or close-fitting shade has room for it. From 12W it gives 1,521lm at 2700K, a warm light that feels relaxed and homely. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms.
Because the opal glass softens the light, we like this bulb where it is on view: a bare pendant on a cord, an open cage shade or a lamp without a cover, where a clear bulb can glare. With 1,521lm from one bulb, it suits the main ceiling light in a living room, bedroom, hallway or dining room, while the warm 2700K keeps the room cosy rather than clinical. Choose it when you want plenty of light without a cold, blue cast.
The bulb is not dimmable, so use it on a light controlled by an ordinary on and off switch rather than a dimmer. It runs from 220-240V mains at 50/60Hz, the usual household supply, and carries an energy class of D. To keep the glow even, switch off the light, let the bulb cool and wipe the glass with a soft, dry cloth whenever dust settles. When you shop for a spare, the E27 cap and the 6cm diameter are the two details to match.
