FAQs
What type of base does this bulb have?

Are these bulbs dimmable?

What is the advantage of the opal finish?
The opal finish diffuses the light, creating a softer, more even illumination that reduces glare and provides a more comfortable ambiance compared to clear bulbs.

What is the typical lifespan of these bulbs?

Can I use these bulbs outdoors?

Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the bulb is screwed in securely into the SES (E14) socket. Check that the light fixture is receiving power and that the switch is on. Try the bulb in a different, known-working fixture to rule out a bulb fault.
Flickering light
This could indicate a loose connection in the socket or fixture, or a potential issue with the bulb itself. Ensure the bulb is tight. If flickering persists, replace the bulb and check the fixture's wiring if you are comfortable doing so, or consult an electrician.
Bulb broke during installation
Ensure the power is off at the source. Carefully clear away any glass fragments using gloves and dispose of them safely. Do not use a vacuum cleaner on broken glass. Replace the bulb with a new one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the light fixture is turned off and cool before attempting to replace a bulb. Screw the Eveready 40W Golf Bulb gently into an SES (E14) cap fitting until it is secure. Do not overtighten.
Compatibility: These bulbs are designed for fixtures with an SES (Small Edison Screw, E14) base. Always check your fixture's specifications to confirm compatibility. They are intended for use with standard household AC power supply and are not suitable for DC power or specialized systems.
