Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my light fitting?
This bulb uses a BC/B22 bayonet cap — the standard large bayonet fitting used in most UK ceiling pendants, table lamps, and wall lights. Check your existing bulb or lamp holder before ordering. It is not compatible with SBC/B15 (small bayonet) or ES/E27 (screw) fittings.
Is this bulb dimmable?
Yes — fully dimmable using a leading-edge dimmer switch. For best results, use an LED-compatible dimmer from brands such as Varilight or Lutron. Standard halogen dimmers may cause flickering. If you’re unsure, contact us on 01603 381095.
What does 2700K mean?
2700K is a warm white colour temperature, very close to traditional incandescent bulbs. It creates a cosy, welcoming atmosphere and is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas.
What is a GLS bulb?
GLS (General Lamp Service) is the classic pear-shaped bulb — the traditional shape most people picture when they think of a light bulb. It fits standard BC/B22 pendant and lamp fittings and is the most common bulb shape in UK homes.
What is leading-edge dimming?
Leading-edge dimmers cut the front of the AC waveform to reduce power. They are the most common type of dimmer in UK homes and are compatible with this bulb. If you have a trailing-edge dimmer, check compatibility before purchasing.
