The crown finish is a metallic cap applied to the top of the globe. On a silver mirror crown bulb, the cap is a polished reflective surface that redirects light away from direct eye contact, reducing glare while keeping the decorative quality of a visible bulb. On a gold crown bulb, the cap adds warmth and a heritage character to the globe, suited to installations where a period or artisan aesthetic is intended.
Dulora's crown range spans three globe shapes. The GLS is the familiar pear-shaped A60 globe, the most commonly specified bulb shape in Australian fittings, here given a decorative crown finish that elevates it beyond a standard replacement. The G45 Fancy Round is a compact globe suited to chandelier arms, small pendant clusters, and wall sconces where a smaller crown globe is wanted. The G125 is a large statement globe, carrying the crown finish at a scale that commands attention in solo pendant installations and feature lighting.
All models run in E27, with B22 available on the GLS range and E14 on the G45. All are dimmable and flicker-free, running at warm white 2700K. Select globes achieve ultra-high colour accuracy; check the specification table on each product page for the exact CRI figure for each SKU. 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
What does the crown finish do?
The crown is a metallic cap bonded to the top of the globe. Its primary function is to redirect light: rather than emitting in all directions, a globe with a crown finish reflects light back down and away from the top of the fitting, reducing glare at the source and concentrating the output where it is needed. This makes crown globes particularly well-suited to open pendant fittings, chandelier clusters, and wall brackets, where the bulb is directly visible and unshaded. Beyond the functional benefit, the crown adds a decorative metallic element to the globe itself, giving it a finished, jewellery-like quality that reads well in styled interiors even when the light is off.
What is the difference between a silver mirror crown and a gold crown?
The silver mirror crown has a polished, reflective metallic cap that redirects light away from direct eye contact. This reduces glare in open fittings and adds a clean, contemporary decorative quality to the globe. The effect is most visible in installations where the bulb is at or near eye level, such as pendant clusters and wall brackets. The gold crown has a warm, matte-gold metallic cap that adds a heritage or artisan character to the globe without the reflective quality of the mirror finish. Gold crown suits warmer, more traditional interior styles, while the silver mirror crown reads as more contemporary and design-forward.
Which globe shape suits my fitting?
The GLS is the standard pear-shaped A60 globe, suited to pendant fittings, table lamps, and wall brackets where a familiar globe form with a decorative finish is wanted. It is available in both E27 and B22, making it compatible with most Australian fittings. The G45 Fancy Round is the compact globe, suited to chandelier arms, small pendants, and wall sconces where a full-size GLS would overpower the fitting. The G125 is the large statement globe, suited to solo pendant installations, high-ceilinged spaces, and feature lighting where the scale of the globe itself is part of the design intent.
Can I dim mirror crown LED bulbs?
All mirror crown LED bulbs in this collection are dimmable and work with most incandescent and LED dimmers. Dulora-sold dimmers are trailing-edge, which is the correct type for LED loads. In pendant clusters, chandelier installations, and open fittings where crown globes are most commonly used, dimming controls the atmosphere of the space as much as the decorative quality of the bulb. Browse our dimmers collection for compatible trailing-edge options. Check the product page to confirm dimming compatibility for your specific globe-dimmer combination.
Why does colour accuracy matter for crown globes?
Crown globes are used in fittings where the light falls at close range, and the bulb itself is fully visible. In pendant clusters, chandelier arms, and open wall brackets, the quality of the light reads directly on surrounding surfaces: joinery, fabrics, paint finishes, and decorative objects all shift under a lower-accuracy source. A globe with ultra-high colour accuracy renders these surfaces the way they appear under natural light, reinforcing the quality of the installation rather than working against it. Select crown globes 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mirror Crown LED Bulbs
- What wattage do mirror crown LED bulbs replace?
- The 4W G45 models replace a 40W incandescent, the 7.2W G125 models replace a 40-60W incandescent, and the 7.5W GLS models replace a 60-75W incandescent. Exact equivalent ratings are listed on each product page in the specification table.
- Are mirror crown LED bulbs dimmable?
- All models in this collection are dimmable and work with most incandescent and LED dimmers; all Dulora-sold dimmers are trailing-edge. Check the product page to confirm dimming compatibility for your specific globe.
- What is the CRI rating for these globes?
- Most models in this collection carry CRI90 colour accuracy, with one model reaching CRI95. CRI ratings are listed in the specification table on each product page. A high CRI is not the same as full-spectrum lighting; high CRI means colours render accurately under the light, not that the light contains every wavelength of the visible spectrum.
- What is a mirror crown bulb?
