Energizer Light Bulbs

The Energizer light bulbs on this page are LED filament lamps, which keep the look of a traditional bulb while drawing 4W to 8W. There are candle bulbs for chandeliers, wall sconces and bedside lamps, and GLS bulbs for pendants, table lamps and floor lamps, with B22 bayonet, E27 screw and E14 small screw caps. Every one gives warm white light at 2700K, and some are dimmable.

Choosing Energizer Light Bulbs

Match the cap to the lampholder first, then choose the shape, the brightness and whether the bulb has to dim.

Cap

B22 (BC) is the bayonet cap that pushes in and twists, usual on UK ceiling pendants. E27 (ES) is the larger Edison screw and E14 (SES) the small Edison screw often found on chandeliers and wall lights. The 7W and 8W GLS bulbs come as B22 and E27 pairs. For example, the 7W S12851 is B22 and the S12852 E27.

Shape and brightness

Candle bulbs give 470lm or 550lm, roughly a 40W incandescent bulb. The 7W GLS bulbs give 806lm, roughly a 60W bulb, and the 8W GLS bulbs 1060lm, roughly a 75W bulb, for ceiling pendants and larger rooms.

Dimming

The S12855, S12856, S12851, S12852 and S29786 dim with an LED-compatible dimmer. The S12868, S12869, S12870, S12857 and S12858 are non-dimmable, so fit them on a standard switch.

Where they suit

Most of these bulbs are rated IP20, and the S12870 is for indoor dry areas, so use them in living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas and hallways rather than damp or exposed positions.
