Description
This is a warm white LED GLS bulb with an opal finish: the familiar rounded household shape, a milky white cover and a silver E27 screw cap. The opal cover spreads the light so you see an even, soft glow rather than a bright point, which matters most in lamps with open or translucent shades. It gives 806 lumens from 8W at a colour temperature of 2700K, and it runs on mains voltage, so it goes straight into a standard E27 lampholder without a separate driver.
Warm white at 2700K is the gentle, slightly golden tone most of us want in a living room, a bedroom or a hallway in the evening, and 806 lumens gives plenty of light for a reading lamp or a main ceiling pendant indoors. E27 is the large screw cap, so check your lampholder before ordering: a fitting that takes a smaller screw cap or a bayonet cap needs a different bulb. A pack also means every lamp in the room shares the same colour, so a pair of bedside lamps or a run of pendants glows as a matched set.
The bulb is rated energy class F. Its opal finish hides the LED source from view, so it looks tidy in a lamp where the bulb shows through a clear shade or hangs bare in a pendant. To keep the glow even, dust the opal cover now and then with a soft, dry cloth while the lamp is switched off and cool. Keep the spare bulbs from the pack together in a drawer, so when one finally fails the replacement matches the colour of the rest.

Frequently Asked
Which lampholder does this bulb need?
It has an E27 cap, the large screw fitting, so it suits any lamp or pendant with an E27 lampholder. A bayonet or smaller screw fitting needs a different bulb.
How warm is the light?
The colour temperature is 2700K, a warm white with a soft, slightly golden tone that suits living rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
How bright is the bulb?
Each bulb gives 806 lumens from 8W, plenty of light for a reading lamp, a table lamp or a main ceiling pendant indoors.
What does the opal finish do?
The milky opal cover spreads the light into an even, soft glow and hides the LED source, so the bulb looks tidy in a bare pendant or under a clear shade.
Does it need a transformer or driver?
No. It runs on mains voltage, so it goes straight into a standard E27 lampholder without a separate driver or transformer.
