Energizer Products

Two Energizer lines share this page: LED filament bulbs and Alkaline Power batteries. The bulbs are 2700K warm white filament lamps in candle and GLS shapes with B22, E14 and E27 caps, from the 4W S12868 candle at 470 lm to the 8W S12857 GLS at 1,060 lm, in dimmable and non-dimmable versions. The batteries come as 24 packs of AA, the 656.930UK, and AAA, the 656.931UK.

Choosing Energizer Products

Pick the cap first, then the shape and brightness, then whether the bulb has to work with a dimmer.

Cap type

Match the cap to the lamp holder. B22 (BC) bayonet caps include the 7W S12851 GLS and the 5W S12855 candle. E27 (ES) screw caps include the 8W S12858 GLS and the 5W S29786 candle. E14 (SES) screw bases include the 5W S12856 and 4W S12869 candles.

Candle or GLS

Candle bulbs such as the S12870 suit chandeliers, wall sconces and bedside lamps. Each 4W candle gives 470 lm, about the light of a 40W incandescent bulb, and the 5W S12856 gives 550 lm. The GLS bulbs keep the classic GLS shape: the 7W S12852 gives 806 lm as a 60W incandescent replacement, and the 8W S12858 gives 1,060 lm as a 75W replacement for ceiling pendants, drum shades and lanterns.

Dimmable or not

The dimmable bulbs, such as the 5W S12856 and the 7W S12851, are for use with an LED-compatible dimmer. Non-dimmable bulbs such as the 8W S12857 and the 4W S12870 are for circuits without a dimmer, so check the switch before you choose.

Beam and rating

Bulbs such as the 7W S12852 have a 320° beam that fills shades and rooms uniformly, and the S12869 is IP20 rated for indoor dry areas, on 220–240V. The S12868 is a non-dimmable candle with a clear glass filament design and an Energy Rating of E.

Batteries

The Alkaline Power 24 packs come in AA, the 656.930UK, and AAA, the 656.931UK, for devices such as remotes, clocks, torches, toys and baby monitors. Each pack has great resistance to leakage and comes in plastic-free packaging.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need a B22 or an E27 bulb?

Check the lamp holder: B22 (BC) is a bayonet cap and E27 (ES) is a screw base. The same GLS bulb comes in both, such as the 7W S12851 in B22 and the 7W S12852 in E27. A third cap, E14 (SES), is a screw base used on candles such as the 5W S12856.

Can I use these bulbs with a dimmer switch?

Yes, if the bulb is dimmable. The S12855, S12856, S12851, S12852 and S29786 are dimmable and should be used with an LED-compatible dimmer. The S12868, S12869, S12870, S12857 and S12858 are non-dimmable, so fit them where the light is switched rather than dimmed.

Which bulb replaces a 60W incandescent?

The 7W S12851 (B22) and S12852 (E27) GLS bulbs give 806 lm and replace a 60W incandescent bulb. For more light, the 8W S12857 and S12858 give 1,060 lm, about a 75W bulb. For a 40W candle bulb, the 4W candles give 470 lm, for example the S12870 with an E27 cap.

Are the Energizer filament bulbs warm white or daylight?

Every bulb here is 2700K warm white. On the 8W S12857 it is a comfortable tone for living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas, and the S12870 gives a cosy ambience with natural colour rendering. The S12868 candle has a clear glass filament design for chandeliers, wall sconces or open fixtures.

What can the Energizer AA and AAA batteries power?

The 656.930UK AA and 656.931UK AAA Alkaline Power 24 packs suit everyday devices such as remotes, clocks, torches, toys, wireless gaming controllers, cameras and baby monitors. They provide lasting power for basic energy needs, have great resistance to leakage and come in plastic-free packaging.
