Colour Temperature

Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) – the lower the number, the warmer the white light appears, while a higher Kelvin will appear cooler. Colour temperature generally ranges from 2700-3300K (warm) to 3300-5300 (cool) – and 6500K is daylight.

Equivalent Wattages Between Different Light Bulbs

As long as the technology developed, a LED light bulb can only use 8 watt power but light up similar brightness when a incandescent light bulb uses 60 watt power. There is equivalent wattage between different light bulbs. To stop making confuse, you need to know what wattage equivalent to each other. See the table attached as below.

This decorative incandescent bulb features a five-pointed star-shaped glass envelope with an amber finish and visible internal filaments. Its distinctive silhouette creates a focal point in compatible exposed-bulb pendants and decorative lamps.

This bulb has a 220–240V 40W rating, 2000K extra-warm light, dimmable operation, a 360° beam angle and a 2,000-hour rated average life. Its dimensions are 110mm across by 145mm overall length. Check clearance around the star's points as well as the fitting's maximum incandescent wattage and heat-clearance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this star-shaped 40W filament bulb dimmable?

The existing specifications list this bulb as dimmable. Use a dimmer suitable for incandescent lamps and check its minimum and maximum connected load, especially with a single 40W bulb. Compatibility is not guaranteed with every dimmer or LED-only control. Its 40W rating is the actual incandescent load, not an LED-equivalent rating.

Will this star-shaped bulb fit my E27 pendant or lamp?

Check that your fitting requires an E27 screw cap, supports the listed 220–240V 40W incandescent rating and allows space for the listed 110mm width and 145mm overall length. The star's points may prevent it fitting through a narrow shade opening even when the socket matches. Follow the fitting's enclosure and heat-clearance requirements. Switch off power and let the bulb cool before replacement.

Is the glass or the filament star-shaped, and is this an LED?

The five-pointed star shape is formed by the glass envelope. The photos show visible decorative filaments inside, not a star-shaped filament. This is listed as a traditional 40W incandescent bulb, not an LED, with an amber finish and a listed 2000K colour temperature. Lumen output has not been confirmed, so do not assume a particular task-lighting brightness.
