B15 Globes: Small Bayonet Cap, Big Atmospheric Impact

The B15 small bayonet cap base is easy to overlook. It is smaller than the B22, less common than the E14, and rarely the fitting that gets talked about in a lighting brief. But it tends to appear in exactly the fittings that matter most for how a room feels at the end of the day: the bedside lamp that goes off last, the wall light that stays on through the evening, the small pendant above the reading chair.

What is a B15 base?

The B15 small bayonet cap has a 15mm diameter base with two side pins and uses the push-and-twist action common to all bayonet fittings. It is the smaller sibling of the B22 standard bayonet cap and is not interchangeable with it. B15 fittings are found in bedside table lamps, compact wall lights, small decorative pendants, some ceiling fan light kits, and specialty luminaires where the smaller bayonet base is specified.

Which B15 globe is right for which fitting?

The B15 candle globe is the most versatile choice for the fittings this base typically serves. Bedside lamps and wall sconces with visible lamp holders suit the traditional candle form, which complements decorative and period-style fittings while delivering the warm, accurate light that CRI 95+ rendering produces. Extra Warm 2200K is the right choice for bedside use and evening reading where the amber warmth supports a settled, restful atmosphere. Warm White 2700K is the more versatile option for wall lights used across multiple times of day.

The B15 fancy round globe suits compact decorative pendants and ceiling fan light kits where a rounder form is more appropriate than the candle shape.

Dimming a B15 fitting

All dimmable B15 globes in the Dulora range dim smoothly from 1 to 100 per cent. For bedside lamps, the ability to dim a B15 candle globe from reading brightness down to a gentle ambient glow before sleep is one of the most practically useful features in the Dulora range. Paired with a quality LED Light Dimmer Switch, a dimmable B15 globe gives complete control over the light that ends the day.

Frequently Asked Questions: B15 Globes

What does B15 stand for and where are these fittings found?
B15 stands for bayonet cap with a 15mm diameter base, also known as the SBC or small bayonet cap. B15 fittings are commonly found in bedside table lamps, compact wall lights, small decorative pendants, and ceiling fan light kits across Australian homes.
What is the difference between B15 and B22 globes?
B15 has a 15mm diameter bayonet base and B22 has a 22mm diameter bayonet base. They are not interchangeable. B15 is the small bayonet found in bedside lamps and compact decorative fittings; B22 is the standard bayonet found in ceiling pendants, floor lamps, and most general-purpose fittings.
Are Dulora B15 globes dimmable?
Yes. All dimmable B15 globes in the Dulora range dim smoothly from 1 to 100 per cent, compatible with most leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers, including Dulora's own DimEzy range.
What CRI rating do Dulora b15 globes have?
Dulora b15 globes are built to CRI 90+ across the range. This means warm tones, textiles, and colour appear natural and accurate rather than flat or washed out, which is a visible difference compared to standard CRI 80 globes.
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 B15 LED 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 B15 globes SAA certified?
Yes. All Dulora B15 globes are SAA certified for Australian mains voltage and backed by a three-year warranty.
