Product Information

Full details

The LEDVANCE AC42358 is a dimmable LED lamp designed for decorative installations and general illumination, offering a unique vintage aesthetic with its pink-tinted glass and balloon shape. Its key benefit is providing a pleasant, warm comfort light while consuming significantly less energy than traditional bulbs, with a lifespan of up to 15,000 hours. A caveat is its energy efficiency class of 'G', which, while common for decorative vintage styles, is less efficient than modern standard LEDs.

FAQs

Is this lamp suitable for primary home lighting?

While it provides good quality light, its very warm color temperature (1600 K) and moderate brightness (220 lm) make it best suited for decorative or accent lighting rather than primary task lighting.

Can I use this lamp outdoors?

Yes, but only when installed in a suitable luminaire that protects it from direct weather exposure, such as rain or extreme temperatures.

How long does this LED lamp last?

The bulb lifetime is rated at up to 15,000 hours, and it can withstand up to 100,000 switching cycles, significantly longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

What does 'dimmable' mean for this lamp?

It means the brightness of the lamp can be adjusted using a compatible dimmer switch, allowing you to control the light intensity to suit your needs.

What is the energy efficiency class of this bulb?

This lamp has an energy efficiency class of 'G'. While this is less efficient than standard modern LEDs, it offers substantial energy savings compared to traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs.

What is the color temperature of this lamp?

The color temperature is 1600 K, which is classified as 'Warm comfort light'. This provides a very warm, cozy, and inviting ambiance.

What is the difference between the bulb power and equivalent power?

The bulb power (4.5 W) is the actual energy consumed by the LED. The equivalent power (15 W) indicates the wattage of a traditional incandescent bulb that would produce a similar amount of light (luminous flux).

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on

Ensure the lamp is screwed in properly into the E27 socket and that the power supply is on. Check if the fixture is functional by testing with another bulb.

Lamp flickers or dims inconsistently

This may be due to dimmer incompatibility or insufficient power. Try a different dimmer switch or ensure the circuit is not overloaded. Check the connection of the lamp in the socket.

Lamp is not as bright as expected

Verify that the lamp is fully screwed in. Check the bulb's power rating (4.5 W) and compare it to the fixture's maximum wattage rating. Ensure the dimmer is set to maximum if applicable.

Lamp breaks upon installation or handling

Handle with extreme care. If broken, do not touch. Ensure the power is off and carefully clean up any glass fragments. Replace with a new lamp.
