This is a 9W A60 LED globe with a B22 bayonet base and an opal diffuser 850lm, CRI above 80, 360 beam,in 3000K warm white or 6000K daylight.

Two corrections to what this page used to say.

• You do not need an electrician. The page said itmust be installed by a licensed electrician. It is abayonet globe: you push it in and twist. Removed.
• The warranty covers it. The page carried our standard lineexcluding the globes on a product that is a globe,which would have excluded it from its own warranty. It carries athree-year replacement warranty.

Two colours, and only one was in our data

3000K warm white and 6000K daylight bothstocked, and our record listed only 3000K. They are notinterchangeable and the difference is large:

• 3000K the ordinary warm household colour, forliving rooms, bedrooms and table lamps.
• 6000K cool daylight, noticeably blue-white.For garages, laundries, workshops and sheds, where you want to see clearly ratherthan feel comfortable. In a living room it will look clinical.

Note there is no 4000K middle option in this globe it is warm ordaylight, nothing between.

850 lumens from 9 watts a straight incandescent replacement

94 lumens per watt, which is good for a globe, and the practical figure is this:850lm is roughly what a 60-watt incandescent gave. So this is adirect swap for the old bayonet globes in a house, drawing9W instead of 60.

The opal diffuser matters: it makes the globe glow as asoft even surface rather than showing diodes, so it isfine in a fitting where the globe is visible an open shade, a bare pendant, atable lamp. A clear filament globe would show its structure; this one does not.

It is NOT dimmable. On a dimmer circuit it willflicker, buzz or not work at all. Check what you are fitting it into first and if the circuit is dimmed, ask us for the dimmable version instead.

360 beam it lights in every direction

Unlike a reflector globe, this throws light all the way around and behind itself.In a pendant, an oyster or a table lamp that is what you want: the shade does theshaping, and the globe just fills it evenly. In a fitting designed toaim light, a 360 globe wastes most of it out the back.

A60 and B22 the standard household shape and base

A60 is the classic pear shape, 60mm across and112mm long it fits where the old globes fitted.B22 is the bayonet base: two pins, push and twist, the common Australian fitting.If your lamp screws in rather than twisting, you need E27 instead ask us.

A note on the output figure. The datasheet gives it as aladder 850, 875, 900lm where every other source says850. We have published the lowest and most conservative of the three,so the globe will not under-deliver against what we have told you.

Where it works

• Table lamps, pendants and oysters anywhere a B22 globe goes.
• Open shades, where the opal diffuser hides the diodes.
• Garages and laundries, in 6000K.
• Not dimmable check the circuit first.
• B22 bayonet only ask us if your lamp screws in.

Questions

Do I need an electrician to fit it?

No it is a bayonet globe. You push it in and twist. Our page said it must be installed by a licensed electrician, which was wrong.

Is the globe covered by the warranty?

Yes three years, replacement. The page carried our standard excluding the globes line on a product that is a globe, which would have excluded it from its own warranty.

3000K or 6000K?

3000K is the ordinary warm household colour for living rooms, bedrooms and table lamps. 6000K is cool daylight, noticeably blue-white for garages, laundries, workshops and sheds, where you want to see clearly rather than feel comfortable. There is no 4000K middle option in this globe.

What does it replace?

A 60-watt incandescent. 850lm is roughly what those gave, and this draws 9W instead of 60.

Can I dim it?

No. On a dimmer circuit it will flicker, buzz or not work at all check what you are fitting it into first, and ask us for the dimmable version if the circuit is dimmed.

Will I see the diodes?

No the opal diffuser makes it glow as a soft even surface, so it is fine in a fitting where the globe is visible: an open shade, a bare pendant, a table lamp.

Is B22 the right base for my lamp?

B22 is the bayonet base two pins, push and twist, the common Australian fitting. If your lamp screws in rather than twisting, you need E27 instead. Ask us and we will match it.
