FAQs

What is the color temperature of this bulb?

This bulb provides an 'extra warm white' light, which is typically around 2200K-2700K, creating a very cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Can this bulb be used outdoors?

This bulb is intended for indoor use unless specifically stated otherwise or used in a fully enclosed, weather-protected outdoor fixture.

How long does this LED bulb typically last?

LED bulbs generally have a long lifespan, often rated for thousands of hours. Specific lifespan varies but is significantly longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

What does '200lm' mean?

lm stands for lumens, which is a measure of the total light output. 200 lumens is a relatively low brightness, suitable for decorative and ambient lighting rather than task lighting.

Is this bulb safe to touch when lit?

While LEDs run cooler than incandescent bulbs, they can still get warm. It's best to avoid touching the bulb directly while it's on or immediately after turning it off.

Can I use this bulb in a fully enclosed light fixture?

It is recommended to check the specific fixture's manual and the bulb's packaging. Enclosed fixtures can sometimes trap heat, potentially shortening the lifespan of any bulb. This bulb's design is primarily for open or semi-open fixtures where its aesthetic can be appreciated.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on.

Ensure the fixture is receiving power. Check that the bulb is screwed in securely. Try the bulb in a different fixture to rule out a fixture issue.

Flickering light.

Check if the bulb is fully screwed in. If using a dimmer, ensure it is LED-compatible and set to a suitable level, or try without the dimmer to test.

Light is too dim for the intended area.

This bulb is designed for ambiance. For brighter light needs, consider using multiple bulbs or a fixture with a higher lumen output bulb.
