E27 Light Bulbs at a Glance
The Right E27 Light Bulbs for Your Home
With an E27 LED bulb, you’re choosing one of the most versatile lighting standards for your home. Modern LED technology replaces the traditional E27 incandescent bulb, combining lower energy consumption with a long lifespan and instant light. The EGLO range offers the right E27 LED bulb for almost any light – from compact G45 bulbs and classic A60 shapes to large globe and big-size designs. Choose from functional SMD LEDs, clear or frosted filament bulbs, decorative vintage designs, Dim-to-Warm models, bulbs with integrated sensors and smart options from the EGLO connect.z system.
Dimmable E27 bulbs
A dimmable E27 LED bulb gives you the freedom to adjust the brightness to suit the time of day and the situation: bright light for reading or working, or softer light for a relaxing evening. EGLO offers both dimmable and non-dimmable options, so always check the specifications of the individual product. With conventional dimmable models, the E27 LED bulb and dimmer need to be compatible. Step-dimming bulbs make things particularly simple because the dimming technology is built directly into the bulb. Simply switch your existing wall, cord, housing or foot switch off and on briefly to cycle through three brightness levels: 25%, 50% and 100% – no additional dimmer required. For an especially cosy lighting effect, choose dimmable E27 LED bulbs with Dim-to-Warm technology. As you dim the light, not only does the brightness decrease, but the light colour also changes smoothly from warm white at 3,000 Kelvin to an especially warm 2,000 Kelvin. This creates a lighting effect reminiscent of the increasingly warm glow of a traditional incandescent bulb.
EGLO offers this function in various shapes, including A60 and decorative G80 and G95 globe bulbs. Depending on the model, 700 or 806 lumens are available. Alongside conventional dimming and Dim-to-Warm technology, smart E27 bulbs from the EGLO connect.z system offer even more possibilities. The technology supports Zigbee and, depending on the product, can be controlled and dimmed using the EGLO app, a remote control or the connect.z wall switch. Adjustable shades of white and a wide range of RGB colours let you create individual lighting scenes. The range includes opal-frosted A60 models, A60, G80, G95, G125 and ST64 filament shapes, as well as clear spiral and amber-coloured vintage designs. Practical sets combine two E27 LEDs with a wall switch or remote control.
Another important factor: light colour
Light colour also plays an important role in creating the lighting effect you want:
Warm white (2,700–3,200 K): cosy and versatile, ideal for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms
Extra warm white (approx. 2,200 K): especially cosy and ideal for amber-coloured vintage bulbs
Decorative light (approx. 1,600–2,000 K): very warm and atmospheric; ideal as a visible lighting feature or as an addition to general lighting
Neutral white to daylight white (from approx. 3,300 K): clear and energising; depending on the model, connect.z bulbs offer adjustable shades of white up to 6,500 K
E27 LED bulbs: benefits at a glance
An E27 LED bulb combines high efficiency with a wide choice of designs. A particular highlight from EGLO is its highly efficient bulbs with energy efficiency class A. They consume up to 60% less energy than conventional LED bulbs and offer a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours – up to three times longer than standard LEDs. The highly efficient E27 options are available as opal-frosted A60 bulbs in the classic bulb shape, as G95 globes and as clear filament designs. Depending on the model, you can choose between warm white light at 2,700 or 3,000 Kelvin and brightness levels of 470, 806, 1,055 or up to 1,521 lumens.
Other benefits include:
Instant full brightness with no warm-up time
Long lifespan for less frequent replacement and maintenance
A wide range of shapes, from compact and functional to large and decorative
Varied lighting effects with frosted, clear, amber-coloured, smoked-grey or copper-coloured glass finishes
Practical multipacks with several E27 LEDs, including basic A60 bulbs, clear A60, G80 and ST64 filament bulbs, and amber-coloured G80 and ST64 versions Another special feature from EGLO is the G95 Duo Bulb. It combines two separate lighting zones in a single E27 bulb: directional downward light and bright ambient light. Use your existing wall switch to choose between the spotlight, ambient light or both light sources together. This creates an intelligent 2-in-1 solution for functional and atmospheric lighting, for example above the dining table. E27 LED bulbs with an integrated sensor provide additional convenience.
Models with a day/night sensor automatically respond to the ambient brightness: if it falls below 25 lux, the bulb switches on. When it rises above 25 lux again, the bulb switches off. Different brightness levels are available depending on the model. One A60 version combines the day/night sensor with a motion sensor. The bulb switches on when the ambient brightness is below 25 lux and the integrated microwave sensor detects movement. This lets you add brightness- and motion-dependent control to suitable existing lights without installing a separate sensor.
How to choose the right E27 bulb
The right E27 bulb depends on where you want to use it, the lighting effect you want to create and the bulb shape.
Brightness (lumens):
Lower lumen values are sufficient for accent and decorative lighting.
For individual light sources in living spaces, 400–800 lumens are often suitable.
For general lighting or larger rooms, 800–1,500 lumens or more may be appropriate.
Light colour (Kelvin):
1,700–2,000 Kelvin creates especially warm decorative light
2,200 Kelvin emphasises a vintage look
2,700–3,000 Kelvin creates a cosy atmosphere
Neutral white options around 4,000 Kelvin are suitable for functional areas
Shape and size:
A60 refers to the classic shape of a traditional incandescent bulb with a diameter of approximately 60 mm
With globe bulbs, the G stands for the round globe shape, while the number indicates the approximate diameter in millimetres
A G45 therefore measures around 45 mm, while a G95 measures around 95 mm
EGLO offers E27 globe bulbs in shapes including G45, G80, G95 and G125
Special bulb shapes:
The compact G45 combines a small glass body with a large E27 base
The slim T30 tube is 18.5 cm long and just 3 cm wide, making it suitable for narrow lights
ST64 and other Edison shapes feature the distinctive vintage silhouette
The R63 LED bulb is the right choice when you want to direct light towards a specific area rather than distribute it evenly throughout the room. Its reflector shape creates a focused lighting effect, making it suitable for illuminating reading areas, pictures, decorative objects or individual zones within a room. The EGLO version has an E27 base and a diameter of 63 mm. With 470 lumens, it produces pleasantly warm white light at 2,700 Kelvin. Its brightness can also be individually adjusted using a compatible dimmer
LED technology:
SMD bulbs use compact LED chips and are particularly suitable for even, functional lighting
Filament LEDs feature visible illuminated filaments
Clear designs emphasise the filament, while frosted versions distribute light more softly and evenly
Decorative glass finishes:
Amber-coloured filament bulbs at 2,200 Kelvin complement retro lights and create warm all-round illumination
Decorative versions at 1,700 Kelvin create an even more golden lighting effect
EGLO also offers spiral filaments in clear, amber-coloured and smoked-grey bulbs, as well as versions with a copper-coloured coating
The visible spiral filament turns the E27 bulb itself into a design feature
High-lumen spiral versions combine this look with higher light output
Purely decorative versions add atmospheric light alongside general lighting
Mirror-top and big-size bulbs:
A60 filament bulbs with a silver- or gold-coloured mirror cap shield the light source from direct view and reflect light back into the fixture – ideal for indirect lighting effects with reduced glare
Big-size filament bulbs make a decorative statement with large, unusual glass shapes. In open fittings, they often need no additional shade and can be combined with one another
Dimmable models let you adjust the lighting mood flexibly
Dimming and control:
Check whether the product is dimmable, supports step dimming or can be controlled smartly. For connect.z, you need a compatible control device or the EGLO app; conventional dimmable LEDs must be compatible with your existing dimmer.
If you need several identical light sources, EGLO multipacks are a practical choice. Selected basic and filament bulbs are available in packs of three, while some A60 models are also available in larger multipacks.
Where are E27 LED bulbs used?
An E27 bulb is highly versatile. With the wide selection available from EGLO, you can match the light output, shape and lighting effect to the room and fixture:
Living room: frosted A60 models for even general lighting or amber-coloured filament LEDs for a warm atmosphere
Dining room: dimmable globe bulbs or the G95 Duo Bulb for directional table lighting and pleasant ambient light
Bedroom: soft warm white light or extra-warm vintage options for relaxing evenings

Smart home: connect.z E27 LEDs for control via app, remote control or switch, with adjustable shades of white and coloured RGB light
With this extensive range, EGLO offers the right E27 LED for almost any light and lighting idea – from an efficient everyday bulb to a decorative lighting feature.
FAQs
How bright should an E27 bulb be?
For individual light sources in living spaces, 400–800 lumens are often sufficient. For general lighting or larger rooms, 800–1,500 lumens or more can be suitable. As a guide, around 100–150 lm/m² can be used for living rooms and bedrooms, and 250–300 lm/m² for kitchens and work areas.
Which light colour is right for an E27 LED bulb?
2,700–3,300 Kelvin is suitable for cosy everyday lighting. Amber-coloured versions at 2,200 Kelvin and decorative bulbs at 1,700–2,000 Kelvin create an especially warm effect. Neutral white at around 4,000 Kelvin is a good choice for functional areas.
Are all E27 bulbs dimmable?
No. An E27 bulb must be specifically marked as dimmable and must be compatible with your existing dimmer.
How long does an E27 LED bulb last?
The lifespan depends on the model. Many EGLO E27 LEDs achieve 15,000 to 25,000 hours. Highly efficient bulbs with energy efficiency class A are designed to last up to 50,000 hours.
Does an E27 bulb fit every light?
An E27 bulb can generally be used in a light with an E27 socket. However, always check the bulb dimensions and the specifications of the light. A G125 or big-size bulb needs considerably more space than an A60, G45 or T30.
What does E27 mean?
E27 refers to a screw base with a thread diameter of 27 millimetres. The “E” stands for Edison and refers to the screw thread named after Thomas Edison. The designation describes only the base, not the shape of the bulb: E27 LED bulbs are available in classic bulb shapes, globes, candle shapes and decorative filament designs. Modern LED technology combines high light output with low energy consumption, low heat generation and a long lifespan.
What does Dim to Warm mean for an E27 LED bulb?
With Dim to Warm, both the brightness and the light colour change as you dim the bulb. The corresponding EGLO E27 LED bulbs transition smoothly from warm white at 3,000 Kelvin to an especially warm 2,000 Kelvin. The more the light is dimmed, the warmer its colour becomes.
Which E27 LED bulbs with sensors does EGLO offer?
EGLO offers E27 LED bulbs with a day/night sensor as well as a version combining a motion sensor with a day/night sensor. The day/night models switch on or off automatically depending on the ambient brightness. With the combined version, the ambient brightness must be below 25 lux and movement must also be detected.
