Description
This is the familiar GLS bulb shape, the rounded pear outline that has sat in table lamps and pendants for decades, here in LED form with a white finish over the dome. It screws in on an E27 cap and draws 9W. The light is a neutral cool white at 4000K, clean and slightly crisp rather than yellow, and the white body spreads the glow all round rather than firing it in one direction. It is not dimmable, so it wants a plain on-off switch.
We reach for these in rooms that need light rather than mood: kitchens, hallways, landings, utility rooms, garages and workshops, and anywhere a lamp sits over a desk or a worktop. The cooler tone keeps colours honest, which helps when you are reading labels, chopping, sorting laundry or working on something small. It suits open shades and glass pendants where the bulb is on show, and it is a sensible choice for a household running a mix of fittings on one screw cap size. We stock it as a two bulb pack, useful where a fitting takes more than one or where you like a spare in the drawer.
The casing is white from cap to crown, so it looks tidy in a holder even when the bulb is unlit and on view. Keep it clean by switching off, letting it go cold, then wiping the dome with a dry microfibre cloth; dust on a white surface dulls the output more than people expect, and no cleaner or damp cloth should come near the cap. Damp corners and outdoor lanterns are not for it, indoors and dry is where it belongs. It carries a three year warranty. It is the plain, dependable bulb we keep to hand for fittings that get switched on and off all day.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it compared with an old filament bulb?
It gives 800 lumens, which is close to the light you would have had from a 60W incandescent GLS bulb, for 9W of power.
What size is the bulb?
It is an A60 shape, 60mm across the dome and 112mm tall overall, including the E27 screw cap.
Can I use it with a dimmer?
No. It is non-dimmable and should be run from a standard on-off switch or a smart plug that only switches.
Is 4000K warm or cool?
It is a neutral cool white, brighter and cleaner in tone than the yellowish 2700K bulbs most people know from older lamps. It suits task areas better than bedrooms.
How long should it last?
It is rated at an average life of 15,000 hours, so in a hallway used a few hours a day you would expect many years from it.
Can I put it in an outdoor light?
Only in a fully sheltered, dry position. It is rated for dry indoor use, so exposed porch lanterns and garden fittings are not suitable.
