Know before you buy
As you lower the brightness, the color temperature shifts from a crisp 2800K warm white down to a cozy 2000K amber glow. This mimics the behavior of traditional incandescent bulbs, allowing you to transition from task lighting to a relaxed, evening atmosphere.
Yes, this bulb features a standard E26 base, which is the most common screw-in fitting for lamps and fixtures in North America. However, we recommend checking your fixture's dimensions to ensure the 2-inch diameter and 3 1/8-inch height fit comfortably within your shade or housing.
The Sphere I is designed to be dimmable, but performance can vary depending on the dimmer switch model. For the best flicker-free experience, we recommend using a leading-edge or trailing-edge LED-compatible dimmer.
While the bulb is compact and versatile, it is primarily designed for open fixtures or lamps where the matte white glass can be appreciated. We advise against using it in fully enclosed, airtight fixtures, as heat buildup can significantly shorten the 15,000-hour lifespan of the LED components.
With an output of 220 lumens, this bulb is intended for accent or ambient lighting rather than primary task lighting. It provides a soft, decorative glow similar to a low-wattage vintage bulb, making it ideal for table lamps or clusters rather than high-intensity overhead lighting.
