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 Philips A55 incandescent bulb has clear glass that leaves the filament visible. The supplied Standard bulb label confirms 40W, E27, 230V and A55 CL, and the yellow-and-white carton identifies the clear finish and compact size.

Match actual-stock markings to the intended supply and a complete fitting approved for a 40W incandescent lamp, with suitable heat tolerance, ventilation and clearance. Existing 2700K warm white, 400lm, 97mm overall length, 1,000-hour life and Dimmable status are retained as listing data not independently confirmed by these views. The saved 55mm diameter is consistent with A55, but no dimensioned drawing is supplied. If dimming, verify incandescent compatibility and minimum and maximum total connected load, particularly with a single 40W bulb. A second pictured carton claims 50% longer life than an ordinary bulb without identifying the comparison baseline or operating hours in the supplied view; this claim is not applied to every packaging version or converted into a new lifetime figure. Verify the supplied batch before quoting that comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Philips A55 40W bulb compatible with every dimmer?

The existing specification marks it Dimmable, but these packaging views do not independently confirm dimming performance. Verify actual-stock information and use an incandescent-compatible control suitable for the lamp and supply, within its minimum and maximum total connected load. A single 40W bulb may be below some controls' minimum load. Universal compatibility and full-range operation are not guaranteed.

Will this compact A55 bulb fit my E27 light fitting?

The supplied label confirms 40W, E27, 230V and A55 CL. Check the complete fitting's approved supply, incandescent load, heat tolerance, ventilation and clearance. The saved 55mm diameter is consistent with A55, while 97mm overall length remains unverified by these views; measure actual stock where space is critical. It is not a B22 bayonet bulb, and a matching E27 cap alone does not establish suitability.

Does the pictured 50% longer-life claim change the listed 1,000-hour life?

No new hour rating can be established from that comparison. One pictured carton claims 50% longer life than an ordinary bulb, but the supplied view does not identify the reference lamp or operating-hour basis, and the claim is not transferred to every packaging version. The saved 1,000-hour life remains unverified existing data, as do 2700K, 400lm and dimmability. Verify the supplied batch before quoting comparative life. Clear glass leaves the filament visible; it does not establish a life advantage.
