Product Information
Full details
This SYLVANIA 6W LED Golf Ball Bulb is designed for users seeking to replace traditional incandescent or halogen ball lamps in decorative fixtures with an energy-efficient alternative. Its primary benefit is replicating the classic aesthetic and performance of older bulbs while consuming significantly less power. A key caveat is that this bulb is non-dimmable. It features a clear spherical glass, E14 screw base, omni-directional light distribution, and a warm white 2700K color temperature, providing 806 lumens of light equivalent to a 60W incandescent bulb, all while operating on 240V and falling into energy efficiency class E.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, the SYLVANIA 6W LED Golf Ball Bulb is non-dimmable. It is designed for use with standard on/off light switches only.
What is the color temperature of this bulb?
The color temperature is 2700 Kelvin (K), which is considered warm white, providing a cozy and inviting light.
What does 'equivalent wattage - 60W' mean?
This means the bulb produces a similar amount of light (lumen output) as a traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb, but it only consumes 6 watts of power.
What type of base does this bulb have?
This bulb features an E14 / SES screw base, commonly found in decorative lighting fixtures.
How does the energy efficiency rating 'E' compare to other bulbs?
Energy efficiency ratings range from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). An 'E' rating indicates moderate energy efficiency. While better than older incandescent bulbs, newer LED bulbs may achieve higher ratings (e.g., A or B).
Can I use this bulb outdoors?
This bulb is intended for indoor use in appropriate fixtures. For outdoor use, ensure the fixture provides adequate protection from the elements and is rated for outdoor use.
What is the lifespan of this LED bulb?
While specific lifespan hours are not provided, LED bulbs typically last much longer than incandescent bulbs, often tens of thousands of hours, significantly reducing replacement frequency.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Ensure the bulb is screwed in securely. Verify that the fixture is receiving power and the switch is on. Check if the bulb is compatible with the fixture voltage (240V). If the issue persists, try the bulb in a different known working E14 fixture.
Flickering light
Flickering can occur if the bulb is used with a dimmer switch (as this bulb is non-dimmable). Ensure the bulb is properly seated in the socket. Check for loose wiring in the fixture or a faulty switch.
Reduced brightness over time
LEDs are designed for stable brightness. If brightness has significantly decreased, ensure proper ventilation within the fixture. If the bulb is old (years of use) and brightness has reduced, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan, though this is uncommon with LEDs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Energy efficient, significantly reducing electricity consumption compared to equivalent incandescent bulbs.
- Maintains a classic decorative appearance, suitable for visible light fixtures.
- Provides bright, warm white light that enhances the ambiance of a room.
- Simple to install as a direct replacement for E14 base bulbs.
- Longer lifespan than traditional incandescent bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Cons
- Not dimmable, limiting control over light intensity.
- Energy efficiency class 'E' is not the highest available, suggesting room for further energy savings with other LED options.
- May not be suitable for fixtures requiring specific beam angles or directional light.
- Requires a 240V supply, limiting compatibility in regions with different voltage standards.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the light fixture is switched off and the power supply is disconnected before installation.
- Unscrew the old bulb gently.
