Zico 4W Golfball Light Bulb

Be more energy efficient and use LED light bulbs with your Samarkand Design lamps and lampshades. We have carefully chosen the Zico Lighting range of LED light bulbs as they specialise in high quality, functional and decorative lighting solutions. Energy efficient lighting can now be practical and beautiful as well as kinder to the environment. They use a LED filament technology which is flicker free and ultra dimmable and have a starting time of less than 0.2secs. 

Lifespan and value for money

All of the Zico bulbs are likely to last up to 25yrs which means they should last between 5-25 times longer than the equivalent CFL or incandescent bulb. They have a life expectancy of approximately 30,000hrs and 100,000 on/off cycle, making them excellent value for money. 

Zico Lighting Golfball Light Bulbs

These slightly smaller golfball light bulbs from Zico are perfect for smaller spaces. They are, as the name suggests, smaller and rounder than a GLS light bulb and therefore often used in lamps and lampshades where space is limited. They have an LED wattage of 4W which is the equivalent to a standard 25W bulb. These clear bulbs are available in E14 (small Edison screw), E27 (Edison screw), and B22 (bayonet) fittings.

There are also two options for light temperature (brightness). The 2200k light bulb produces a softer and warmer light whereas the 2700k light bulb is a very good every day standard bulb. If you remain unsure of what's watt when it comes to lightbulb specifications, please take a look at our blog which should help shed some light! 

Energy Efficiency

The 2200k pigmy light bulbs have an energy rating of G and the 2700k bulbs, a rating of F. Why so high for an energy efficient bulb? These bulbs are specifically created with decorative lighting in mind. This means they have a lower light output (lumens) which creates a more ambient light therefore the output of lumens to wattage is low. In 2021 the energy rating standards were changed meaning that bulbs that omit a lower lumen to watt ratio are classified as less efficient even though they remain far more energy efficient than their CFL or incandescent equivalents. If these bulbs were classed under the standards pre 2021 they would rate between an A and A+.
