E27 Lamps

The E27 lamp has been a staple in lighting for decades. Also known as the 'thick' or 'large' screw base, it derives its name from the screw thread diameter of 27 millimeters. You can find this light source in virtually any room, from living rooms and bedrooms to offices and stores. Traditionally known from the incandescent bulb, the E27 base is now the standard for modern LED lighting, bringing significant advantages.

The Advantages of LED E27 Lamps in Your Fixtures

Traditional incandescent and halogen bulbs with an E27 base consume a lot of energy and have a limited lifespan. Switching to LED E27 lamps offers several practical benefits:

  • Energy Efficient: LED E27 lamps consume significantly less power. Where an incandescent bulb used 60 watts, an LED lamp of 7 to 10 watts suffices for comparable light output. This leads to a noticeable reduction in your energy costs.
  • Long Lifespan: An LED E27 lamp lasts an average of 15,000 to 50,000 hours, much longer than an incandescent or halogen bulb (about 1,000 - 2,000 hours). This reduces the frequency of replacements and associated costs.
  • Less Heat Development: LED lamps convert almost all energy into light, not heat. This makes them safer to use and contributes to a more comfortable indoor climate.
  • Robustness: LED lamps are more shock-resistant as they contain no filament.
  • Environmentally Friendly: LED lamps contain no mercury or other harmful substances, facilitating recycling and reducing environmental impact.

E27 LED Wattage and Lumen Comparison Table

When replacing a traditional E27 bulb with an LED variant, lumens are the determining factor for light output, not wattage. Use the table below to find a suitable LED replacement.

Traditional E27 Wattage LED E27 Lumens (approx.)
15W 130-150 lm
25W 200-250 lm
40W 400-470 lm
60W 800-850 lm

Diverse Shapes and Functions of E27 Lamps

E27 lamps come in a wide variety of shapes and with specific functionalities. This makes it possible to find a suitable E27 light source for every fixture and desired atmosphere.

Popular E27 Lamp Shapes

The shape of the E27 lamp influences light distribution and aesthetics in your fixture. Common shapes include:

  • Pear (Standard A60): This is the most common shape, widely applicable in various fixtures such as ceiling and pendant lamps.
  • Globe (P45): Smaller, round lamps, suitable for compact fixtures, wall lamps, or as decorative lighting.
  • Candle (C35): Narrow, pointed bulbs often used in chandeliers and fixtures with open shades.
  • Ball (G95/G125): Larger, decorative balls that may remain visible, often with filament LED for a vintage look.
  • Spot (PAR30/PAR38/R80): Lamps with a focused beam, suitable for accent lighting in track systems or recessed lights.
  • Spiral/Filament: LED lamps that mimic the appearance of a filament, ideal for atmospheric, retro-look lighting.

Important Technical Specifications of E27 Lamps

When choosing an E27 lamp, it's important to consider the following technical characteristics in addition to the fitting:

Specification Explanation
Light Color (Kelvin) The color temperature, expressed in Kelvin (K), determines the ambience of the light. From extra warm white (2200K-2700K) for intimate settings, to warm white (3000K) for general use, and cool white (4000K) or daylight white (6500K) for functional spaces.
Light Output (Lumens) This indicates the brightness of the lamp. The higher the lumen value, the more light the lamp produces. Compare this with the wattage of your old lamp to find a suitable replacement (see the 'replaces (Watt)' indication).
Color Rendering Index (CRI) The CRI value (Ra) indicates how faithfully colors are rendered under the light of the lamp. A high CRI (80+ or 90+) is desirable in spaces where color accuracy is important.
Dimmable Not all E27 LED lamps are dimmable. If you want to adjust the light intensity, choose a dimmable variant and check compatibility with your dimmer. There are also 'Dim-to-Warm' lamps, which become warmer in color as they are dimmed.
Beam Angle (degrees) The beam angle is especially important for E27 spots. A narrow angle provides accent lighting, while a wide angle offers general lighting.
Smart Functions Some E27 LED lamps can be controlled via an app, remote control, or voice assistant, and offer features such as RGB color change or schedules.

Choosing an E27 Lamp to Suit Your Needs

When selecting the right E27 lamp for your situation, consider the following steps:

  1. Check the Base: Ensure the fixture has an E27 base. This is recognizable by the 27mm wide thread.
  2. Determine Desired Light Output: Think about how much light is needed in the space. For example, replace a 60W incandescent bulb with an LED lamp of about 800 lumens.
  3. Choose Light Color and Atmosphere: Is it for functional light (cool white) or atmospheric light (warm white)?
  4. Consider Dimmability: If you want flexibility in light intensity, select a dimmable LED E27 lamp.
  5. Pay Attention to Shape: The shape of the lamp should match the dimensions and style of your fixture.
  6. Consider Color Rendering: For spaces where colors need to be visible (e.g., a kitchen or store), a high CRI of 80 or higher is recommended.

If you have specific questions about installation or compatibility of E27 lamps with your existing fixtures, we recommend contacting an electrician. Many installers appreciate the versatility of E27 LED lamps due to their easy replaceability and energy-saving properties.

Replacement Table: From Old E27 Incandescent to New LED E27 Lamp

This table provides an overview of common incandescent wattages and the equivalent LED E27 lamps in terms of light output.

Old Incandescent (Watt) LED E27 Lamp (Watt) Indicative Lumens
25W 2-3W ~250 Lumens
40W 4-5W ~470 Lumens
60W 7-8W ~800 Lumens
75W 9-10W ~1050 Lumens
100W 12-13W ~1520 Lumens
