Safety Precautions

Frequently Asked Questions

• • What is an A55 globe? An A55 globe is slightly smaller in diameter than the standard A60 size, making it easier to fit into tight or decorative light covers.
• • Is this bulb bright enough for a main lounge? At 5W, this bulb is best used in pairs or in smaller rooms; for large open-plan areas, a 9W or 12W LED may be more appropriate.
• • Does this fit a screw-in socket? No, this model features the BC Bayonet (two-pin) base common in South African ceiling roses.
