G45 Mini Globe — Compact size, white glass diffusion & G45 vs G80 vs G95
The G45 is the compact globe — at 45mm diameter, it is roughly the same size as a standard A60 bulb but with a perfectly round, spherical shape. The white glass envelope diffuses the LED completely, producing a smooth, even glow across the entire surface with no visible chip or hotspot. This makes the G45 the right choice when you want the clean aesthetic of a globe bulb in a fitting that cannot accommodate the larger G80 or G95 — smaller pendant drops, table lamps with narrow shades, and wall lights with compact sockets. At 3W and 249 lm, the output is soft and ambient — this is a decorative and accent bulb, not a primary task light. The white glass also means the bulb looks clean and intentional even when switched off — a matte white sphere that reads as a considered design choice rather than a functional component. The G45 is also the most versatile globe shape for enclosed fittings: at 45mm, it fits inside most standard shades and enclosed ceiling roses where a G80 or G95 would not.

Common questions
How does the G45 compare to the G80 and G95 in size?
+
G45 = 45mm diameter (compact, fits most shades). G80 = 80mm diameter (medium globe, open fittings). G95 = 95mm diameter (large statement globe, open fittings only). The G45 is the most versatile — it fits inside enclosed shades and compact fittings where the G80 and G95 would not. Choose G45 for enclosed or compact fittings; choose G80 or G95 for open pendant drops where the globe is fully visible.
Is 249 lm bright enough for a bedside lamp or reading light?
+
249 lm is a soft, ambient output — comfortable for a bedside lamp used for atmosphere and light reading. It is not bright enough for sustained close-up reading or task work. For a bedside lamp used primarily for reading, consider a higher-lumen bulb. For ambient and decorative use, 249 lm at 2700–3000K is a pleasant, relaxed light level.
Will the G45 fit inside a standard drum or empire lampshade?
+
Yes — at 45mm diameter, the G45 fits inside most standard drum, empire, and cone shades. It is the most shade-compatible globe shape in the range. Ensure the bulb does not touch the shade material — contact between a warm bulb and fabric is a fire risk. In an open-top lamp or a lamp without a shade, the G45 globe is fully visible and the white glass creates a clean, compact look.
Does the white glass make the light look different from a clear glass globe?
+
Yes — the white glass diffuses the light evenly across the entire globe surface, eliminating any visible chip or hotspot. The result is a softer, more uniform glow compared to a clear glass bulb where the LED or filament is visible as a point of light. The white glass also slightly reduces the total lumen output compared to a clear glass equivalent at the same wattage, as some light is absorbed by the diffusing layer.
Can I use the G45 in a multi-arm fitting or cluster pendant?
+
Yes — the G45 works well in cluster pendants and multi-arm fittings where a larger globe would look oversized or crowded. The compact 45mm sphere creates a neat, consistent look across multiple drops. Use the same colour temperature across all sockets for a uniform result. Ensure the total wattage does not exceed the fitting’s rated maximum.
