A brighter way to choose

Start with the cap on your existing bulb or fitting. We will then narrow your choice by bulb shape, light colour and whether you need dimming.

Step one

Which cap do you need?

Check the base of your existing bulb or the label inside the fitting.

Please select a cap type before continuing.

Step two

Which bulb shape suits your fitting?

Match your existing bulb or choose the shape that best complements an exposed fitting.

Please select a bulb shape before continuing.

Browse all bulb shapes

Step three

How should the light feel?

Choose warmer light for atmosphere or cooler light for clearer task lighting.

Please select a light colour before continuing.

Step four

Do you need the bulb to dim?

Only choose a dimmable bulb when it will be used with a compatible dimmer switch.

Please select a dimming option before viewing your recommendation.

Set the mood

Deeply warm and atmospheric. Well suited to exposed decorative bulbs, dining spaces and relaxed evenings.

2800K–3000K Warm White

A balanced, welcoming light for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and general household use.

4000K–4100K Cool White

Clean, clearer light for task areas, workspaces and rooms where visibility is especially important.
