Description
This is an opal LED GLS bulb with an E27 screw cap, the rounded pear shape most people picture when they think of a light bulb. It gives 470 lumens of warm white light at a colour temperature of 2700K while drawing just 4.9W. It runs at mains voltage, so it screws straight into an E27 lamp holder with nothing extra to add. The opal finish hides the LEDs behind a smooth, milky white surface, so you see an even glow rather than bright points of light.
Warm white at 2700K is the cosy, slightly golden tone that suits living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, where you want the light to feel relaxed in the evening. With 470 lumens, we think it is at its best in a table lamp, a bedside lamp or a pendant shade, giving a soft, comfortable level of light rather than a bright working light. Because the opal surface spreads the glow evenly, it also looks tidy in fittings where the bulb itself is on show, such as an open shade or a bare pendant.
The bulb's energy class is F, the figure to compare when you are weighing up bulbs side by side. The cap is E27, the large screw cap, so check that your lamp or ceiling fitting takes an E27 bulb before you order. To change it, switch off at the wall and let the old bulb cool first. To keep the light clear, wipe the opal surface now and then with a soft, dry cloth while the bulb is switched off and cold.
