Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 36538 is a 5-watt LED vintage-style G40 globe bulb designed as a direct replacement for standard 60-watt incandescent lamps. It features a spiral filament visible through an amber all-glass envelope, delivering 250 lumens at 2,000 Kelvin for a warm, Edison-style glow. The bulb is fully dimmable and fits a standard medium base socket. With a rated life of 15,000 hours, it is suited for decorative fixtures in residential and light commercial settings. A CRI of 80 ensures adequate color rendering for ambient and accent lighting applications. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors are the typical installers.

This bulb is intended for decorative and ambient lighting applications where vintage aesthetics are required. Its G40 globe shape and amber glass make it appropriate for exposed-bulb pendant fixtures, chandeliers, vanity strips, string-light assemblies, and open decorative luminaires. The 5-watt draw makes it suitable for fixture types that limit total wattage. It meets California Title 20 energy efficiency standards, making it compliant for sale and installation in California. Package quantity is 3 bulbs per box.
