240V Globes: How to Choose the Right Globe for Every Standard Australian Fitting
Every standard light fitting in an Australian home, from the ceiling pendant in the living room to the GU10 downlights in the kitchen and the G9 vanity bar in the bathroom, runs at 240V mains voltage. The 240V globe is therefore not a specialist product: it is the product that covers the vast majority of all globe replacement and upgrade decisions in the home. Choosing the right 240V globe means understanding base type, globe form, colour temperature, and whether you need a dimmable model.
Identifying your base type
The base type is the non-negotiable first step. Every 240V globe must match the socket in the fitting exactly and base types are not interchangeable. The most common 240V bases in Australian homes are E27 (standard Edison screw, 27mm), B22 (standard bayonet cap, 22mm), E14 (small Edison screw, 14mm), B15 (small bayonet cap, 15mm), G9 (bi-pin capsule, mains voltage), and GU10 (twist-and-lock spotlight). E12 (mini Edison screw, 12mm) appears in some specialty and decorative fittings.
If you are unsure of your base type, check the base of your existing globe before ordering. For a guide to reading base types and ordering correctly, see How to Choose LED Light Bulbs for Your Home.
Choosing globe form
Once the base type is confirmed, the globe form is the next decision. For ceiling pendants and general-purpose fittings, a GLS A60 globe is the standard choice. For chandeliers and wall sconces, a candle globe or fancy round G45. For decorative pendants and feature fittings with exposed lamp holders, a filament globe, a round G95, or an oversized G125. For recessed ceiling downlights, a GU10 spotlight globe. For kitchen pendants and bathroom vanity bars, a G9 capsule globe.
Browse by base: E27 LED Light Bulbs covers the full E27 range. B22 LED Light Bulbs covers the full B22 range. GU10 LED Light Bulbs covers the spotlight range. G9 LED Light Bulbs covers the capsule range.
Dimmable versus non-dimmable
Dimmable 240V globes require a compatible trailing edge LED dimmer switch to dim correctly. If your fitting does not have a dimmer, a non-dimmable globe is the more economical choice. If you are fitting a dimmer at the same time, or replacing globes in a circuit that already has a dimmer, choose a dimmable globe from the Dulora range and pair with a quality LED Light Dimmer Switch.
Colour temperature
The right colour temperature depends on the room and how the fitting is used. Warm White 2700K is the most versatile default across living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Soft White 3000K suits kitchens and bathrooms. Natural White 4000K suits home offices and workspaces.

Frequently Asked Questions: 240V Globes
- What is the difference between 240V and low-voltage LED globes?
- 240V globes connect directly to standard Australian mains voltage without a separate driver or transformer. Low-voltage globes (12V or 24V, including G4 and MR16) require a driver or transformer to step down from 240V mains. All standard ceiling pendants, wall lights, floor lamps, table lamps, GU10 downlights, and G9 vanity fittings in Australian homes use 240V globes.
- How do I identify which 240V base type I need?
- Check the base of your existing globe before ordering. The most common bases are E27 (standard Edison screw), B22 (standard bayonet), E14 (small Edison screw), B15 (small bayonet), G9 (bi-pin capsule), and GU10 (twist-and-lock spotlight). Base types are printed on most globe packaging and stamped on the base of the globe itself.
- Are all 240V globes dimmable?
- No. Dimmable and non-dimmable variants are available across the Dulora 240V range. Non-dimmable globes will not dim smoothly and may be damaged if connected to a dimmer circuit. Always check whether a globe is dimmable before installing it on a dimmer-controlled circuit.
- What CRI rating do Dulora 240v globes have?
- Dulora 240v globes are built to CRI 90 to 97+ across the range, with select premium models reaching CRI 97+ for near-perfect colour rendering. At the CRI 90 floor, warm tones and colours appear natural and accurate compared to standard CRI 80 globes; at the premium end, the rendering is essentially indistinguishable from natural daylight.
- Why is flicker-free technology important for 240V globes?
- Invisible flicker from low-quality LED drivers causes eye strain, headaches, and fatigue even when you cannot consciously detect it. Dulora 240V globes use premium constant-current drivers that eliminate flicker entirely, meeting IEC flicker guidance standards with Pst LM below 1 and SVM below 0.4 at every dimming level.
- Are Dulora 240V globes SAA certified?
- Yes. All Dulora 240V globes are SAA certified for Australian mains voltage and backed by a three-year warranty on the dimmable range.
