Know before you buy
Yes, this bulb features a standard E26 base, which is the most common size for lamps and light fixtures in North America.
With 210 lumens, this bulb is designed for decorative, ambient lighting rather than task lighting. It is best suited for exposed pendant fixtures or lamps where you want to create a warm, cozy atmosphere.
The Tala ST20 is fully dimmable, but performance depends on the compatibility of your specific dimmer switch. For the best results, we recommend using an LED-compatible trailing-edge dimmer.
The 2200K color temperature produces a very warm, golden glow similar to candlelight. It is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where you want to emphasize relaxation and comfort.
A CRI of 95 indicates that the bulb renders colors very accurately, making wood tones, fabrics, and skin appear natural and vibrant. This is particularly beneficial for vintage-style bulbs that are meant to be seen.
