The A60 is the globe Australians have been reaching for since incandescent lighting was the norm: the classic pear-shaped bulb that fits most pendant fittings, table lamps, and wall brackets in Australian homes. The difference now is what that globe can do. Dulora's GLS range runs from 3W to 11W, covering the full span of replacement wattages from 25W through to 100W equivalent.
Three finishes define the character of the light. Clear glass puts the LED filament on full display, giving a warm, directional quality suited to open pendants and feature lamps. Frost glass diffuses the output evenly, reducing visible filament and glare, suited to shaded fittings and living spaces where softer light is preferred. Porcelain delivers a clean matte appearance with even, shadowless output suited to task-adjacent and residential applications.
Colour temperatures span the full domestic range: extra warm 2200K for atmospheric and vintage-styled spaces, warm white 2700K as the most versatile everyday choice, soft white 3000K for a slightly cooler residential feel, and natural white 4000K for kitchens, studies, and task lighting. Select models achieve ultra-high colour accuracy; check the specification table on each product page for the exact CRI figure for each SKU.
Most 240V models are dimmable, and all are flicker-free. All 240V products are SAA-certified and covered by a warranty of up to 3 years. Free metro delivery on orders over $99, free regional delivery over $199.

Buying Guide
Which finish suits my GLS globe?
Clear glass is the right choice for any fitting where the filament is part of the visual: open pendants, exposed bulb installations, and vintage-styled lamps where the warm glow of the LED is meant to be seen. Frost glass works best in shaded fittings and anywhere glare control matters, diffusing the output into a softer, more even light with the filament less visible. Porcelain gives a matte white finish that produces clean, even output without any visible light source, suited to task-adjacent applications and enclosed fittings where appearance is as important as performance.
Which colour temperature should I choose?
Extra-warm 2200K gives the deepest amber tone, suited to atmospheric dining rooms, feature pendants, and vintage-style lamps where warmth takes priority. Warm white 2700K is the most widely used temperature in this range and is closest to a traditional incandescent, working well in living rooms, bedrooms, and most residential spaces. Soft white 3000K is a slightly cooler warm tone that suits kitchens, hallways, and spaces where warmth is still wanted but with a little more clarity. Natural white 4000K is a neutral, clean tone suited to home offices, studies, and task lighting where colour accuracy and visual clarity matter most.
Can I dim GLS LED bulbs?
Most GLS LED bulbs in this collection are dimmable and work with most incandescent and LED dimmers. Dulora-sold dimmers are trailing-edge, the correct driver type for LED loads. The exception is the 3W Shatterproof, which is not dimmable and is suited to always-on applications such as refrigerators, appliances, and indicator lamps. For living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where the GLS globe is the primary light source, a dimmable model gives you full control over the space's mood and output. Browse our dimmers collection for compatible trailing-edge options.
Where are GLS bulbs best used?
The GLS is the most versatile globe shape in the Dulora range because it fits the most common sockets and fittings found in Australian homes. Pendant lights are the most natural home for a GLS globe, where the pear shape reads well both lit and unlit. Table lamps and floor lamps suit the GLS across all finishes, with clear glass adding warmth and character and frost or porcelain giving a cleaner, more diffuse output. Wall brackets and bedside lights in both E27 and B22 are a reliable fit. The GLS also works well in ceiling batten holders and simple oyster fittings where a replaceable globe is preferred over a fixed LED panel. Where the fitting has a shade, frosted or porcelain is the better choice. Where the fitting is open or semi-open, clear glass earns its place.
Why does colour accuracy matter for a GLS bulb?
Replace a bulb in an existing fitting, and the difference in colour accuracy becomes immediately visible. A lower-CRI globe shifts the apparent colour of surrounding surfaces: warm wall tones read differently, timber furniture loses depth, and skin tones under the light can look flat or slightly off. A higher-CRI globe renders surfaces as they appear under natural light, making the space feel more resolved and considered. For rooms where the GLS globe is the primary source, getting the CRI right is as important as getting the colour temperature right. Select models in this collection achieve ultra-high colour accuracy; check the specification table on each product page for the exact CRI figure for each SKU. Note that ultra-high colour accuracy is not the same as full-spectrum lighting: it means colours render accurately under the light, not that the light contains every wavelength of the visible spectrum.
Frequent Asked Questions
GLS LED Bulbs
- What wattage do GLS LED bulbs replace?
- The 3W model replaces a 25W incandescent; the 4W models replace a 25W incandescent; the 6.5W models replace a 60W incandescent; the 7.2W and 7.5W models replace a 60-75W incandescent; and the 11W models replace a 100W incandescent. Exact equivalent ratings are listed on each product page in the specification table.
- Are all GLS LED bulbs dimmable?
- Most models are dimmable and work with most incandescent and LED dimmers; all Dulora-sold dimmers are trailing-edge. The 3W Shatterproof model is not dimmable. Check the product page to confirm dimming compatibility for your specific globe.
- What is the CRI rating for GLS LED bulbs?
- Most models in the collection carry CRI90 colour accuracy. The 7.2W Clear and 7.2W Porcelain models feature CRI 97, the highest in the range. CRI ratings are listed on each product page; a high CRI is not the same as full-spectrum lighting, it means colours render accurately under the light, not that the light contains every wavelength of the visible spectrum.
- What is a GLS bulb?
- GLS stands for General Lighting Service, the technical name for the classic pear-shaped household bulb also known as the A60 in Australia. The A60 designation describes the shape and diameter: A for the standard pear profile, and 60 for 60mm at the widest point. It is the most common bulb shape found in Australian homes and is compatible with E27 screw and B22 bayonet sockets.
