Know before you buy
As you dim the bulb, the color temperature shifts from a warm 2700K down to a cozy 1800K. This mimics the behavior of traditional incandescent bulbs, creating a more intimate atmosphere at lower light levels.
Yes, this bulb is designed to be safe for use in enclosed fixtures. Its ceramic and PC construction helps manage heat effectively in restricted spaces.
It is damp-rated, meaning it can be used in covered outdoor areas like porches or lanais. However, it should not be exposed directly to rain or standing water.
A CRI of 90+ indicates that the bulb renders colors very accurately, making skin tones, furniture, and decor look vibrant and true-to-life compared to lower-quality LEDs.
While it works with most standard dimmers, performance can vary depending on the switch technology. For the smoothest transition without flickering, we recommend using a high-quality LED-compatible dimmer.
The 360-degree beam angle provides omnidirectional light, meaning it illuminates the entire space evenly rather than focusing light in a single direction. This makes it an excellent choice for table lamps, chandeliers, and open-style fixtures.
