Product Information

Full details

This 3-pack of UniBulb LED GLS B22 bulbs is designed for homeowners looking to efficiently upgrade lighting across multiple rooms with consistent, warm light. The key benefit is significant energy savings compared to traditional bulbs, providing the brightness of a 60W incandescent with only 7.3W of power. A potential caveat is the fixed 3000K warm white color temperature, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences. This pack offers a practical, long-lasting, and energy-efficient lighting solution for everyday home use.

FAQs

What is the lifespan of these UniBulb LED bulbs?

While specific lifespan hours are not provided, LED bulbs are designed for long-term use, significantly outlasting traditional incandescent bulbs. They offer dependable performance and reduced replacement frequency.

Can I use these bulbs in outdoor fixtures?

These bulbs are intended for indoor use. If used in an outdoor fixture, ensure the fixture is specifically rated for LED bulbs and provides adequate protection from moisture and extreme temperatures.

What does '7.3W 3000K' mean?

'7.3W' refers to the power consumption of the bulb (7.3 Watts), which is equivalent in brightness to a traditional 60W incandescent bulb. '3000K' is the color temperature, indicating a warm white light that creates a cozy atmosphere.

Are these bulbs dimmable?

No, these UniBulb LED GLS B22 bulbs are not dimmable. They are designed for use with standard on/off light switches only. Using them with a dimmer switch may cause flickering, damage to the bulb, or premature failure.

What is the B22 fitting?

B22 refers to the bayonet cap base type. It is a common fitting for light bulbs, characterized by two pins that twist and lock into a socket, distinct from screw-in (Edison screw) types.

What is the energy efficiency rating of these bulbs?

These bulbs have an energy efficiency rating of 'E' according to the EU energy label system. While they are much more efficient than incandescent bulbs, newer LED technologies may offer higher ratings (e.g., A or B).

How does the brightness (lumens) compare to traditional bulbs?

Each bulb provides 806 lumens, which is comparable to the light output of a traditional 60W incandescent bulb.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Ensure the power is switched on at the wall and the light switch. Check that the bulb is screwed in securely. Verify the fixture is compatible and not faulty. Confirm the bulb is not being used in a dimmer circuit.

Flickering light

This can sometimes occur if the bulb is not fully seated in the socket, or if there is a loose connection in the light fixture. Ensure the bulb is screwed in firmly. If flickering persists, try the bulb in a different, known working fixture. Using the bulb in a dimmer switch (even if set to full) can also cause flickering, as these bulbs are non-dimmable.

Reduced brightness over time

LED bulbs maintain their brightness very consistently throughout their lifespan. If you notice a significant decrease in brightness, check for dust or dirt accumulation on the bulb itself or the light fixture diffuser. Ensure the power supply is stable. If the issue persists, the bulb may be nearing the end of its life or there might be an electrical issue with the fixture.
