FAQs

What does 6500K Daylight mean?

6500K refers to the color temperature of the light. 'Daylight' indicates it's a cool, crisp white light that mimics natural daylight, ideal for tasks requiring good visibility.

Can I use these bulbs in outdoor fixtures?

These bulbs are designed for indoor use only. Using them outdoors may expose them to elements that can cause damage or malfunction.

Are these bulbs dimmable?

No, the UniBulb LED Golf Ball bulbs are not dimmable. They should not be used with dimmer switches, as this can cause flickering or damage to the bulb.

How long will these bulbs last?

These bulbs have a rated lifespan of 25,000 hours, which is significantly longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

What is the energy efficiency rating?

These bulbs have an energy efficiency rating of E, indicating their energy-saving performance compared to older technologies.

What is the difference between lumens and watts?

Watts measure energy consumption, while lumens measure brightness. This 4.2W bulb produces 470 lumens, replacing a 40W incandescent bulb which also produces around 400-470 lumens but uses much more energy.

How do I know if my fixture has an E14 fitting?

An E14 fitting, also known as SES (Small Edison Screw), has a base diameter of approximately 14mm. You can often check the existing bulb or the fixture's specifications.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the E14 socket. Verify the light fixture is receiving power and the switch is on. Check if the bulb is compatible with a dimmer switch; if so, try it in a non-dimmable fixture.

Flickering light

This can occur if the bulb is used in a fixture with a dimmer switch. Ensure the fixture is not on a dimmer circuit or use the bulb only in non-dimmable fixtures. Check for a loose connection in the socket.

Bulb appears dimmer than expected

Confirm the bulb is rated at 470 lumens. Ensure there are no obstructions in the fixture and that the socket is clean. Compare with the previous bulb's wattage to understand perceived brightness differences, noting that lumen output is the accurate measure of brightness.
