Full details

The Paul Russells LED Mini Globe Bulb is designed for homeowners seeking an energy-efficient lighting solution that mimics the warmth of traditional bulbs. It offers significant energy savings by replacing 40W bulbs with just 4.9W, providing 470 lumens of cosy 2700K light.

What does 'non-dimmable' mean?

'Non-dimmable' means the bulb cannot be used with a dimmer switch. Using it with a dimmer may cause it to flicker, perform poorly, or shorten its lifespan.

How does this bulb's energy consumption compare to a 40W bulb?

This 4.9W LED bulb is designed to replace a 40W traditional bulb, offering approximately 88% energy savings (40W - 4.9W = 35.1W saving).

What is the colour temperature of the light?

The light emitted by this bulb has a colour temperature of 2700K, which is classified as warm white, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere.

Is this bulb safe for household use?

Yes, the bulb is CE / UKCA certified and made of premium materials (plastic and aluminium), ensuring it is safe for household use.

What type of lamp holder does this bulb fit?

This bulb fits fixtures with a B15D lamp holder, which is a bayonet fitting.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Ensure the power is switched on. Check that the bulb is securely screwed into the B15D fitting. Try the bulb in another compatible fixture to rule out a faulty socket. Verify the fixture's circuit breaker has not tripped.

Flickering light

This can sometimes occur if the bulb is not seated correctly in the socket. Turn off the power, remove, and re-insert the bulb firmly. If flickering persists, the bulb may be faulty or incompatible with the fixture's power supply.

Bulb turns on and off intermittently

Check for loose connections in the light fitting. Ensure the bulb is not in a fixture with a dimmer switch, as this bulb is non-dimmable. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
