Description
These are the plain, hard-working LED bulbs a house gets through most of. Two come in the pack, in the familiar rounded GLS shape with a white outer and an E27 screw cap. Each draws 9W and gives 800 lumens of warm white light, close in tone to the old filament bulbs most people still judge a room by. The white finish softens the output so the source is less harsh to look at directly, and light spreads out in all directions rather than throwing forward in a beam.
We reach for a bulb like this in table lamps, standard lamps, pendants over a landing and shades in a bedroom, anywhere the fitting takes a large screw cap and the light needs to be steady and unremarkable. It is not dimmable, so keep it to circuits with a straightforward on and off switch and choose something else where a dimmer is in play. The pack suits matching bedsides, or leaves a spare in the cupboard for the moment one goes. Being an indoor bulb, it belongs in dry rooms about the house rather than porches, bathroom zones or anywhere it might be rained on.
The outer is white throughout, a compact household size that sits happily inside smaller shades where a longer bulb would show below the trim. Wipe it over with a dry cloth now and again, once the bulb has gone cold; dust on a white diffuser dulls the output more than people expect, and nothing wet should go near the cap. It carries a three year warranty. We would fit these in the plain lampholders around a house and save the decorative filament shapes for open fittings that show them off.

Frequently Asked
What cap does it take?
An E27 large screw cap, the standard fitting on most pendants, table lamps and standard lamps in the UK.
How big is each bulb?
60mm across the widest part of the glass and 112mm tall, the classic A60 GLS size.
How bright is it, and what colour is the light?
800 lumens per bulb at 3000K, a warm white that leans yellow rather than blue.
Can I use it with a dimmer switch?
No. These are non-dimmable, so they should be run from a plain on and off switch.
How long are they rated to last?
An average life of 15,000 hours, and they carry a three year warranty.
How should I clean them?
Switch off and let the bulb cool completely, then dust the white surface with a dry cloth. Keep moisture away from the cap.
