Named for its close resemblance to a golf ball, this mini globe/golf ball LED from Integral LED is designed for use in restricted fixtures where a fully sized globe wouldn\'t be suitable, such as desk lamps or decorative fixtures.Don\'t let its diminutive size fool you though; it serves a direct replacement for 40W filament bulbs but only consumes 6.5W of power, yielding potential savings of up to 90% on your lighting bill. Those that prefer the familiar, warm glow of a filament or halogen bulb will love this LEDs warm white light - it is perfect for living rooms, hallways and bedrooms.The bulb\'s body is constructed from an aluminium and plastic composite that dissipates heat away from its essential components more effectively than comparable materials, thereby placing them under less strain and extending the bulb\'s lifetime. Ultimately, this LED mini globe won\'t need replacing nearly as much as its old-fashioned filament equivalents and can yield substantial savings when considered alongside its markedly superior efficiency.Though this dimmable LED golf ball bulb is compatible with a range of dimmer switches, we would advise pairing it with a trailing edge dimmer to guarantee full compatibility. Contacting Integral LED directly would be the best way to obtain an official, exhaustive list of switches that are fully compatible with this product.Please visit the manufacturer\'s website for up-to-date dimmer switch compatibility lists for this Integral LED Golfball light bulb before purchase.To find the answers to some common questions about LED dimming, please read our guide Dimming for Dummies.Need more help in choosing a suitable light bulb?
