Product Description
The G E LIGHTING 42220 is a 3-watt LED vintage-style T6 tubular bulb designed as a direct replacement for 40-watt incandescent lamps. It produces 150 lumens of warm white light at 2,200 Kelvin with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 80, giving it the amber glow characteristic of vintage filament-style lighting. The straight filament design is fully dimmable, making it well suited for decorative fixtures, sconces, and chandeliers where ambiance control matters. All-glass construction and a candelabra base round out the build. Each package contains 4 bulbs. Licensed electricians, lighting contractors, and facility maintenance technicians are the typical installers.
This bulb fits candelabra-base sockets in residential and light commercial decorative lighting applications. It is appropriate for exposed-bulb pendants, wall sconces, ceiling fans with light kits, vanity strips, and other fixtures that call for a T6 tubular form factor. The amber glass envelope softens the light output and contributes to the vintage aesthetic. With a rated life of 15,000 hours and an estimated lamp life of 13.7 years, it reduces relamping frequency in hard-to-reach decorative fixtures. Sold in a boxed 4-pack.
