Dimmable GLS Globes, A60, E27 and B22

The GLS globe is the most used light source in the Australian home, and Dulora's range is the most complete version of it available. Covering standard A60 globe forms in E27 globe E27 LED Light Bulbs and bayonet cap globe B22 B22 LED Light Bulbs bases, the collection spans wattages from 3W through to 11W across Extra Warm 2200K, Warm White 2700K, Soft White 3000K, and Natural White 4000K. Select models reach CRI 90 to 97+ for near-perfect colour rendering, while the full range sits at CRI 90 to 97+, rendering colours, textiles, and warm tones with an accuracy that standard CRI 80 globes cannot match as a minimum. Finish options include clear, frost, porcelain, and opal, with Mirror Crown and Gold Crown variants for exposed fittings. Not sure which wattage replaces your old incandescent?

How to Choose the Right GLS Globe for Your Home

The GLS globe is the workhorse of Australian home lighting. It appears in ceiling pendants, floor lamps, table lamps, and bedside fittings across virtually every room in the house. Getting it right is the single highest-impact lighting decision most Australian homes can make, because the GLS position is also the most frequently seen and most frequently used.

Which base type do I need for a GLS globe?

The two base types used in Australian GLS fittings are E27 Edison screw and B22 bayonet cap, and the globe must match your socket exactly. E27 is the threaded screw base and is the more common of the two in floor lamps, table lamps, and many ceiling pendants.

B22 is the bayonet cap base, identified by its two side pins and push-and-twist action, and is found in most older Australian ceiling fittings and many pendant lights. If you are unsure which base your fitting uses, remove your existing globe and check the base before ordering. Browse by base: E27 LED Light Bulbs and B22 LED Light Bulbs.

Which wattage GLS globe do I need?

LED wattage does not directly correspond to incandescent wattage, so the right choice depends on what you are replacing. As a general guide, a 6.5W Dulora GLS globe replaces a standard 60W incandescent, and an 11W globe replaces a 100W incandescent.

For spaces that need moderate brightness such as bedrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms, the 6.5W or 7.2W is the right starting point. For open-plan spaces, high ceilings, or rooms where you need maximum output from a standard GLS form, the 7.5W or 11W delivers significantly more light without needing a larger fitting.

Which colour temperature works best for a GLS globe?

The right colour temperature depends on how the room is used. Warm White 2700K is the most versatile choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where you want the light to feel welcoming without being too amber. Extra Warm 2200K suits spaces where the evening atmosphere is the priority, such as a dining table with a statement pendant or a lounge with a floor lamp.

Soft White 3000K sits between warm and neutral and works well in kitchens and bathrooms where a slightly brighter, cleaner tone is useful without feeling clinical. Natural White 4000K is best reserved for home offices, utility areas, and workspaces where clarity and colour accuracy matter more than warmth.

How does dimming improve a GLS globe installation?

A dimmable GLS globe gives a single fitting the ability to serve a room across every use throughout the day. The same ceiling pendant that provides full brightness for morning tasks can be dimmed to 30 per cent for an evening meal and brought down to 10 per cent as background light later in the evening.

Smooth dimming from 1 to 100 per cent, paired with a quality LED Light Dimmer Switch, is one of the most effective and least expensive ways to improve how a room feels without changing a single fixture. For best results, use a trailing-edge LED-compatible dimmer with any Dulora dimmable GLS globe.

Frequently Asked Questions: GLS Globes

• What is the LED equivalent of a 60W or 100W globe?
• A 6.5W Dulora GLS globe replaces a standard 60W incandescent, and an 11W globe replaces a 100W incandescent. For a full wattage conversion reference covering all common incandescent and halogen equivalents, see our wattage guide 
• Can I use a GLS globe in an enclosed ceiling fitting?
• Yes, provided the globe's operating temperature rating is compatible with the fitting's thermal environment. Dulora GLS globes are suitable for most standard enclosed fittings in Australian homes. For recessed downlight fittings, the GU10 or MR16 spotlight format is the correct choice rather than a GLS form.
• What is the difference between clear and frosted GLS globes?
• Clear GLS globes allow the internal LED array or filament to be visible, producing a more directional and dramatic quality of light suited to exposed pendant fittings and floor lamps where the globe is deliberately on show. Frosted GLS globes diffuse the light source, producing a softer and more even output better suited to enclosed shades, opaque fittings, and rooms where glare from a visible light source would be distracting.
• What CRI rating do Dulora gls globes have?
• Dulora gls 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 your home?
• Invisible flicker from low-quality LED drivers causes eye strain, headaches, and fatigue even when you cannot consciously detect it, because the human nervous system responds to rapid light fluctuations below the threshold of conscious perception. Dulora dimmable GLS 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 from 1 to 100 per cent. At low dimming levels used for pre-sleep and wind-down routines, this is where flicker is most disruptive: the nervous system is primed to detect it precisely when you need calm, stable light most.
• Are Dulora GLS globes SAA certified?
• Yes. All Dulora GLS globes are SAA certified for Australian mains voltage and backed by a three-year warranty. They are designed and tested for standard 240V Australian fittings and comply with Australian energy efficiency requirements.
