Tronic Yellow LED 2W E27 Screw Bulb

Our review

This is a low-wattage Tronic bulb with a yellow light output and a standard E27 screw base, the same fitting found on most household lamp holders. Because it draws just 2 watts, it suits fittings where you want a small amount of coloured or ambient light rather than bright illumination, such as a bedside lamp, a decorative fixture, or a corridor light left on for long periods. The main appeal of LED over older bulbs is running cost: it uses at least 75% less energy than incandescent, and it lasts roughly 35 to 50 times longer than incandescent and 2 to 5 times longer than fluorescent, so replacements are less frequent. Before buying, confirm your fixture takes an E27 screw base and that yellow light is what you actually want, since a yellow bulb will not work as general white room lighting. Compare it with other low-wattage LED bulbs by checking the cap type, the colour of light, and the wattage, and remember that brightness and colour tone matter more than the bulb's shape. It is available on Sokonia.
