B22 A60 9W LED Globe Opal Non-Dimmable

This is a 9 W A60 LED globe with a B22 bayonet base and an opal diffuser — 850 lm, CRI above 80, 360° beam, in 3000 K warm white or 6000 K daylight.

Two colours, and only one was in our data

3000 K warm white and 6000 K daylight — both stocked, and our record listed only 3000 K. They are not interchangeable and the difference is large:

• 3000 K — the ordinary warm household colour, for living rooms, bedrooms and table lamps.
• 6000 K — cool daylight, noticeably blue-white. For garages, laundries, workshops and sheds, where you want to see clearly rather than feel comfortable. In a living room it will look clinical.

Note there is no 4000 K middle option in this globe — it is warm or daylight, nothing between.

850 lumens from 9 watts — a straight incandescent replacement

94 lumens per watt, which is good for a globe, and the practical figure is this: 850 lm is roughly what a 60-watt incandescent gave. So this is a direct swap for the old bayonet globes in a house, drawing 9 W instead of 60.

The opal diffuser matters: it makes the globe glow as a soft even surface rather than showing diodes, so it is fine in a fitting where the globe is visible — an open shade, a bare pendant, a table lamp. A clear filament globe would show its structure; this one does not.

360° beam — it lights in every direction

Unlike a reflector globe, this throws light all the way around and behind itself. In a pendant, an oyster or a table lamp that is what you want: the shade does the shaping, and the globe just fills it evenly. In a fitting designed to aim light, a 360° globe wastes most of it out the back.

A60 and B22 — the standard household shape and base

A60 is the classic pear shape, 60 mm across and 112 mm long — it fits where the old globes fitted. B22 is the bayonet base: two pins, push and twist, the common Australian fitting. If your lamp screws in rather than twisting, you need E27 instead — ask us.

Where it works

• Table lamps, pendants and oysters — anywhere a B22 globe goes.
• Open shades, where the opal diffuser hides the diodes.
• Garages and laundries, in 6000 K.
• ⚠ Not dimmable — check the circuit first.
• ⚠ B22 bayonet only — ask us if your lamp screws in.
