Description
This is a golf ball LED bulb with an E27 screw cap, the larger screw cap used on many lamps and pendants. Its round glass globe has an opal finish, a milky white that spreads the light evenly, so you see a soft glow and never a bare LED. It is 7.5cm long and 4.5cm wide, compact enough for small shades and open lampholders alike. It draws 4W and gives 470lm of warm white light at 2700K. With an IP20 rating, it belongs indoors in dry rooms, so keep it away from bathrooms and outdoor lights.
We would choose this bulb for a pendant, table lamp or wall light in a living room, bedroom, hallway or dining room, anywhere you want a gentle, homely tone rather than a cool white. Because the opal glass hides the light source, it suits shades that leave the bulb on view and bare lampholders hung low over a table. The warm 2700K colour sits comfortably beside candlelight, wood and soft furnishings, which makes it a good choice for evenings at home. If you are replacing a tired bulb in a favourite lamp, this compact globe keeps the look tidy, provided the lampholder takes an E27 cap.
The bulb is not dimmable, so pair it with an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer switch. It runs on a 220-240V supply at 50/60Hz, carries an energy class D rating and uses just 4W. The opal glass globe is light, with a packed weight of 0.046KG. To clean it, switch off the light and let the bulb cool, then wipe the glass gently with a soft, dry cloth. Before ordering, check that your lampholder takes an E27 screw cap and that the shade has room for a globe 7.5cm long and 4.5cm wide.
