FAQs

What is the color temperature of this bulb?

This bulb provides a neutral white light, typically around 4000K, offering a balanced and clear illumination.

Can I use this bulb with any dimmer switch?

No, this bulb requires an LED-compatible dimmer switch for optimal performance and to prevent flickering. Check your dimmer's specifications.

How long does this LED filament bulb typically last?

LED filament bulbs generally have a much longer lifespan than traditional incandescent bulbs, often rated for thousands of hours of use.

What is the wattage equivalent of this bulb?

This 3.7W bulb provides 500 lumens, which is roughly equivalent to a 40-60W incandescent bulb in terms of brightness.

Is the 'milky' finish important?

Yes, the milky finish diffuses the light, reducing glare and providing a softer, more even illumination compared to clear bulbs.

Can this bulb be used outdoors?

The suitability for outdoor use depends on the fixture. If used in a weatherproof outdoor fixture, it may be suitable, but always check the fixture's IP rating and the bulb's specifications.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Check that the power is switched on and the bulb is screwed in securely. Ensure the E27 lampholder is functioning correctly. Verify compatibility with your dimmer switch if applicable.

Bulb flickers

This often indicates an incompatibility with the dimmer switch. Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer and that it is set correctly. Check if the bulb is securely fitted.

Reduced brightness or inconsistent light

Ensure the bulb is not being used in an overly enclosed fixture that restricts airflow. Check for power fluctuations. If dimmable, ensure the dimmer is set to an appropriate level.
