G E Lighting 98261 A19 Led Bulb 6W Soft White 4 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 98261 is a 6-watt A19 LED light bulb sold in a 4-pack, designed as a direct replacement for standard 40-watt incandescent bulbs. Each bulb produces 450 lumens at a 2,700 Kelvin color temperature, delivering a warm soft white light output suited to residential and light commercial interiors. The medium base (E26) form factor fits the most common lamp sockets in North America. The bulb is fully dimmable and carries an Energy Star certification, making it a code-compliant choice for new construction and retrofit lighting projects. Rated for 15,000 hours of service life, the 98261 reduces replacement frequency in high-use fixtures.

This bulb is appropriate for table lamps, floor lamps, ceiling fixtures, and enclosed or open luminaires that accept A19 medium-base lamps. The soft white 2,700K color temperature matches the warmth of traditional incandescent sources, making it well-suited to living spaces, bedrooms, and hospitality environments. The High Definition designation indicates a CRI of 80, which provides accurate color rendering for general illumination. Electricians, lighting contractors, and facility maintenance personnel typically specify this bulb for bulk retrofit projects where Energy Star compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — screw the A19 base into any medium-base (E26) socket and ensure the fixture is rated for the wattage. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker or switch before replacing a bulb in a live fixture. When used on a dimmer circuit, confirm the dimmer is rated for LED loads to avoid flickering or reduced lamp life. NEC Article 410 governs luminaire and lamping requirements for general lighting installations.
