B22 refers to the bayonet cap fitting type, meaning the bulb base has two pins that twist and lock into the socket. BC is an abbreviation for Bayonet Cap.
Yes, this bulb will work perfectly with a standard on/off light switch. It will simply operate at its full brightness (1055 lumens).
4000K is considered a neutral to cool white. While some prefer it for its clarity, others might find it too bright or stimulating for a bedroom. If you prefer a warmer, more relaxing light, consider bulbs with a lower Kelvin rating (e.g., 2700K-3000K).
This LED bulb is rated for approximately 25,000 hours of use, which is significantly longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's information for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
This bulb is designed for indoor use. Ensure the light fixture it is installed in provides adequate protection from moisture and extreme temperatures if used in a covered outdoor area.
Using this LED bulb with a dimmer switch not designed for LEDs can lead to issues such as flickering, buzzing noises, reduced lifespan for the bulb, or even damage to the dimmer itself. It's essential to use an LED-compatible dimmer.
Check that the power is on and the bulb is securely screwed into the B22 socket. Try the bulb in a different, known working light fixture.
This usually indicates incompatibility with the dimmer switch. Ensure your dimmer is rated for LED bulbs. If not dimming, the bulb should function at full brightness with a standard on/off switch.
Verify that you are using an LED-compatible dimmer. Some dimmers have a minimum load requirement that may not be met by a single 9W bulb. Consider using multiple bulbs on the same dimmer if your dimmer supports it, or check dimmer compatibility lists.
Confirm the bulb is fully screwed in. Check that the light fixture itself is not obstructed. Ensure the dimmer is set to 100% if full brightness is desired.
Setup: Ensure the light fixture is turned off before attempting to replace the existing bulb. Screw the Harper Living 9 Watts LED bulb into the B22 bayonet socket until it is secure. Turn the light fixture back on.
Compatibility: This bulb is designed for use with standard B22 bayonet fittings. For dimming functionality, it *must* be used with a dimmer switch specifically designed for LED bulbs. Using it with a non-LED compatible dimmer may result in flickering, buzzing, or damage to the bulb or dimmer.
Care: Disconnect power to the light fixture before cleaning. Wipe the bulb gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the bulb's finish or internal components. Ensure the bulb is completely dry before restoring power.
