G E Lighting 42179 G25 Led Vintage Bulb 5.5W 2 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 42179 is a 2-pack of G25 globe-shaped LED bulbs designed for decorative and vintage lighting applications. Each bulb draws 5.5 watts while delivering 400 lumens of warm white light at 2,200 Kelvin, making it a direct efficiency replacement for a standard 60-watt incandescent. The amber glass envelope and straight filament design replicate the appearance of classic Edison-style bulbs. Rated for 15,000 hours of service life, these bulbs are fully dimmable and suited for fixtures where aesthetics and long service intervals matter. Licensed electricians and general contractors typically specify these in hospitality, residential, and light commercial settings.

These bulbs are intended for decorative fixtures including pendant lights, vanity bars, exposed-bulb chandeliers, and wall sconces that accept a medium base. The G25 globe measures 3 inches in diameter with a maximum overall length of 4.30 inches, making it compatible with most standard decorative globe fixtures. The vintage filament style is commonly used in areas where the bulb itself is part of the visual design. Each pack contains two bulbs.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — hand-tighten only into a de-energized medium base socket before restoring power. Confirm the fixture is rated for enclosed or open use as appropriate, since some LED filament bulbs require open-air fixtures for proper thermal management. If installing on a dimmer circuit, verify the dimmer is listed for use with LED loads to avoid flicker or reduced lamp life. Turn off the circuit breaker or wall switch before replacing any bulb in a hardwired fixture.
