A globe built to be looked atThe G30 shape is the mid-size decorative globe: big enough to read as a design element, small enough to fit vanity bars, pendants and sconces without crowding them. Its maximum overall length is 5.28 inch, and the clear glass cover lets the internal LED filament-style assembly show through for that exposed-bulb aesthetic homeowners keep asking for. Unlike a bare directional lamp, the diffused 330° distribution wraps light around the fixture, which is exactly what you want when the bulb points sideways or upward in an open shade. Solid-state components and efficient thermal management mean instant-on light, no buzz on start-up and far less radiant heat than the incandescent globe it replaces — a detail your air conditioning appreciates in July.
Light quality and flicker controlThis lamp belongs to a
low flicker series: flicker is reduced down to 10%, compared with 6.6% for traditional incandescent and far below the California T20 standard of 30%. That matters in a bathroom mirror light or a dining pendant where the source sits at eye level for long stretches — less strain, steadier light on camera, better comfort overall. With
CRI 80+ colour rendering and a 3000K correlated colour temperature, whites stay clean and warm woods, brass finishes and makeup tones read accurately. At 500 initial lumens from only 5 watts, the output matches a 50W incandescent replacement while cutting the energy draw dramatically.

Installation and dimmingInstallation is as simple as it gets: cut power at the switch, let the old lamp cool, then thread the new
E26 screw base in hand-tight only — over-tightening can damage the socket and the lamp. Wire nothing, change nothing in the fixture. On the control side, the lamp is dimmable on 120V circuits with compatible dimmers; LED-rated trailing-edge or LED-compatible dimmers give the smoothest low-end performance, and it is always worth testing one lamp on your existing dimmer before ordering a full vanity's worth. Respect the -20 ˚C to +40 ˚C operating range, and remember the damp location rating covers enclosed bathroom fixtures and covered exterior ceilings, not direct exposure to rain.
Where it works and what pairs with itThink four-light vanity bars over a double sink, a row of open pendants above a kitchen island, a foyer chandelier, hallway sconces, a hair salon mirror station, a boutique fitting room or a restaurant dining room that wants visible warm bulbs without the heat. For a coordinated look across a project, the
LED bulb G30 5W 2700K offers the same globe in a warmer tone, while the
LED bulb B10 5W 3000K and
LED bulb B10 5W 4000K cover candelabra-base chandeliers and sconces at the same colour temperatures. For general-purpose sockets in the same home, the
LED bulb A19 9W 5CCT lets you dial the white tone to match. The full technical PDF (LCB-G30-5W-30K spec sheet) is available in the Documentation tab for dimensions, output and ordering details.
