FAQs
What is the color temperature of this bulb?
The bulb emits a neutral white light with a color temperature of 4000 Kelvin (K).
Is this bulb suitable for enclosed light fixtures?
While it fits standard E27 sockets, its slim tube design is optimized for uniform illumination in glass shades. For enclosed fixtures, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating, though it's best suited for fixtures where heat can dissipate more freely.
Can I use this bulb with any dimmer switch?
No, you must use an LED-compatible dimmer switch. Using an older incandescent dimmer may cause flickering, buzzing, or malfunction. Check the dimmer's specifications for LED compatibility.
What is the 'Eye friendly' feature?
The 'Eye friendly' label signifies that the lamp is designed to emit comfortable light, reducing glare and eye strain, making it suitable for prolonged use during activities like reading or working.
How does the energy efficiency class 'E' compare to other bulbs?
The 'E' rating is on a scale from A to G, where A is the most efficient. While not the highest rating, it indicates a moderate level of energy consumption compared to older lighting technologies. The bulb consumes 9W, equivalent to a 75W incandescent bulb.
What is the lifespan of this LED bulb?
The bulb has an estimated lifespan of 15,000 hours.
Does this bulb come in different colors or color temperatures?

Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Check that the bulb is screwed in securely. Verify the power supply to the fixture and try a different E27 bulb to confirm the fixture is working. Ensure the dimmer switch (if applicable) is compatible with LED bulbs.
Bulb flickers or strobes
This is often due to an incompatible dimmer switch. Try a different LED-compatible dimmer or operate the bulb without dimming. Ensure the bulb is not loose in the socket.
Dimming is not smooth or has limited range
Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer switch specifically designed for low-wattage LED loads. Check the dimmer's specifications for compatibility and minimum load requirements.
Light appears too dim or too bright
If too dim, ensure the dimmer is turned up or that the fixture is not causing it to operate at reduced power. If too bright and non-dimmable, consider using a dimmer switch. Check the bulb's lumen output against your lighting needs.
