Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 31709 is a 5.5-watt LED G25 globe bulb sold in a 2-pack, designed as a direct replacement for standard 60-watt incandescent bulbs. It produces 500 lumens of daylight-quality light at 5000 Kelvin color temperature with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90, making colors appear crisp and accurate. The all-glass G25 globe shape fits a medium base socket and is fully dimmable. With a rated life of 15,000 hours, equivalent to approximately 13.7 years of typical use, this bulb is built for long-service installation in both residential and light commercial settings. Energy Star approval confirms it meets verified efficiency standards.

This bulb is suited for residential and commercial fixtures that accept a medium base G25 globe lamp, including vanity strips, bathroom mirrors, pendant fixtures, and decorative open fixtures. The 5000K daylight color temperature is a common specification for task-oriented spaces such as bathrooms, kitchens, and workrooms where high color accuracy and brightness clarity are priorities. The dimmable design allows integration with standard compatible dimmer switches. Each package contains 2 bulbs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified electrician or knowledgeable tradesperson following NEC guidelines. Always switch off power at the wall switch or circuit breaker before replacing a bulb. Allow any existing incandescent or halogen bulb to cool completely before handling the socket. Confirm the dimmer switch in the circuit is rated for LED loads to avoid flickering or reduced lamp life.
