Overview
Elevate your everyday lighting with this Dimmable 5W LED Filament Pearl BC GLS Bulb, featuring a standard large bayonet cap (BC/B22). Consuming only 5W while replacing a traditional 40W bulb, it delivers a warm 470 lumens of comforting light. The classic GLS (General Lighting Service) shape, combined with visible LED filaments and a pearl finish, offers a nostalgic look that suits pendant lights, table lamps, ceiling fixtures, and open chandeliers. Because it is fully dimmable, you can adjust brightness smoothly from a bright, functional glow to a soft, relaxing ambiance using compatible LED dimmers.

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is BC the same as B22?
Yes, BC (Bayonet Cap) and B22 refer to the same 22mm diameter bayonet base, standard for most UK household light fittings.
2. Will this bulb work with my existing dimmer switch?
It requires a trailing-edge LED-compatible dimmer. Older leading-edge dimmers may cause flickering or humming. Check your dimmer is rated for LED bulbs.
3. Can I use this bulb in an enclosed light fitting?
Yes, but ensure adequate airflow around the bulb. Enclosed fixtures can trap heat, potentially reducing LED lifespan.
4. How long does this bulb typically last?
LED filament bulbs generally last 15,000 to 25,000 hours, depending on usage, ventilation, and dimmer compatibility.
5. Is the pearl finish as bright as clear glass?
The pearl finish provides slightly softer, more diffused light compared to clear glass, reducing glare while maintaining 470 lumens – ideal for comfortable ambient lighting.
