E27 LED Globe — The practical everyday bulb, wattage guide & colour temperature
This is the workhorse of the LED bulb range — a standard globe shape that fits the vast majority of E27 fittings in Irish homes, from ceiling pendants and floor lamps to table lamps and wall lights. Unlike filament bulbs, this globe produces a clean, uniform light without a visible chip or filament, making it equally suited to open and enclosed fittings. Choosing the right wattage is straightforward: 3W–5W for accent and bedside lighting, 7W–9W for everyday table lamps and bedroom ceiling lights, 12W–18W for living room pendants and spaces where you need functional brightness. A 9W LED produces roughly the same output as a 60W incandescent — always compare lumens rather than watts when switching bulb types. Warm white (2700–3000K) suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas; cool white (6000–6500K) is better for kitchens, home offices, and utility rooms.
This bulb is not dimmable — do not use with a dimmer switch. Rated IP20 for dry indoor use only. Direct E27 screw-in replacement, no tools required. At 30,000 rated hours, a 9W variant running six hours a day will last nearly 14 years.

Common questions
How is this different from the E27 Globe LED with 3W–20W range?
+
This range tops out at 18W and is rated at 30,000 hours. The 3W–20W range extends to a higher maximum wattage and carries a 50,000-hour rating. Both use E27 caps and produce the same colour temperatures. Choose this range if 18W covers your needs; choose the 3W–20W range if you need the highest output or the longer rated lifespan.
Can I use this bulb in a fully enclosed ceiling fitting?
+
Yes — unlike filament bulbs, this globe LED works well in enclosed fittings. LED bulbs generate less heat than halogen or incandescent, but always check that the fitting is rated for LED use and that the maximum wattage of the fitting is not exceeded. Enclosed fittings can trap heat, which may reduce lifespan if the bulb is significantly over-driven.
What is the equivalent incandescent wattage for each option?
+
Approximate equivalents: 3W ≈ 25W, 5W ≈ 40W, 7W ≈ 50W, 9W ≈ 60W, 12W ≈ 75W, 15W ≈ 100W, 18W ≈ 120W incandescent. These are approximate — always check the lumen output listed in the product specs for an accurate brightness comparison.
Does this bulb flicker or take time to reach full brightness?
+
No — this LED globe reaches full brightness instantly with no warm-up time. If you experience flickering after installation, the most common cause is an incompatible dimmer switch. This bulb requires a standard on/off circuit. Remove any dimmer from the circuit or replace with a standard switch.
Is cool white suitable for a living room or bedroom?
+
Cool white (6000–6500K) is a bright, blue-toned light that promotes alertness — it works well in kitchens, home offices, and utility rooms, but can feel harsh and clinical in a living room or bedroom. For relaxed, residential spaces, warm white (2700–3000K) is almost always the better choice. If you want a neutral option that works across room types, look for a 4000K “natural white” bulb.
