COTLEDL E27 5W LED Bulb 3000K 500LM

The COTLEDL 5W E27 LED bulb brings warm white lighting with low energy use, matching the output of a 40W incandescent while drawing a fraction of the power. This six pack of G45 golf ball bulbs is aimed at everyday indoor lighting needs where a cosy 3000K glow is preferred and quick, tool-free fitting matters.

At a glance

These non-dimmable E27 screw bulbs give around 500 lumens each and start instantly with no flicker, according to the manufacturer. They offer a colour rendering index above 80, which helps colours look natural under the warm white glow. Rated for roughly 30 000 hours, they reduce the hassle of frequent replacements and cut electricity use compared with traditional incandescent lamps. Two minor caveats are that they are not dimmable and performance figures are manufacturer stated.

Where it shines

These bulbs suit fixtures that take an E27 base such as table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers and small pendants. They work well in living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas where a warm, comfortable ambience is wanted and bright task lighting is not essential. The small G45 shape is unobtrusive in many fittings.

Getting the most from them

Screw in each bulb to a standard E27 holder and switch on, there is no warm-up time. It’s a good fit if you want lower running costs and reliable warm white light for domestic spaces, and you’ll like them if you prefer bulbs that avoid buzzing or flicker. If you need adjustable mood lighting, note these are non-dimmable.
