Description
This is a classic GLS light bulb with an E27 screw cap, the large household screw base found on many ceiling pendants, table lamps and floor lamps. It has a rounded opal dome in plastic over a tapered white neck and a silver screw cap, and it measures 10.7cm long and 6cm across. Inside, LEDs give a bright 1,055 lumens of cool white light at 4000K while drawing just 7.8W. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor fittings only.
Cool white at 4000K is a crisp, neutral light that keeps a space feeling bright and alert, which is why we suggest it for kitchens, studies, home offices, hallways and utility rooms, anywhere you need to see clearly while cooking, reading or working. The opal dome spreads the glow evenly with no harsh bright spots, so it looks tidy in a bare pendant or an open shade where the bulb itself is in view. With 1,055 lumens, it is a generous choice for a main ceiling light, and it makes a simple swap for an older bulb in the same E27 lamp holder.
The dome is plastic, and plastic is lighter than glass and less brittle, which is a comfort when you are changing a bulb from a stepladder. It runs on a 220 to 240V mains supply at 50 or 60Hz and carries an energy class of D. It is not dimmable, so pair it with an ordinary light switch rather than a dimmer. Before you order, check that your fitting takes an E27 screw cap and has room for a bulb 10.7cm long and 6cm across.
