Product Description
The G E LIGHTING 47659 is a 4.5-watt LED G25 globe bulb sold in a 2-pack, designed to replace standard 40-watt incandescent bulbs at a fraction of the energy draw. Operating at a 5,000 Kelvin color temperature, it delivers crisp daylight-quality light with a CRI of 90, making color rendering accurate and consistent. Output is 350 lumens per bulb. The all-glass construction and medium base make it a direct drop-in for most standard fixtures. Rated for 15,000 hours of service life, this bulb is dimmable and carries ENERGY STAR approval. It is suited for residential and light commercial interior lighting applications.
The 47659 is intended for use in enclosed or open fixtures that accept a G25 globe-shaped bulb with a medium (E26) base. The 5,000K daylight color temperature and high CRI make it well suited for task areas, bathrooms, vanities, and workspaces where accurate color rendering is important. Each pack contains two bulbs. The G25 form factor fits standard globe-style fixtures, pendant lights, and exposed-bulb applications. Maximum overall length (MOL) is 4.30 inches, which is relevant when checking fixture clearance.

Compatibility
Designed as a direct replacement for 40-watt incandescent G25 globe bulbs using a standard medium (E26) base. Dimmability requires a compatible LED dimmer switch; verify dimmer compatibility before installation.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or knowledgeable end user following local electrical codes and NEC guidelines. Always switch off power at the fixture before replacing a bulb. Confirm that the fixture’s maximum wattage rating accommodates the 4.5W draw. If used with a dimmer, ensure the dimmer is rated for LED loads to avoid flickering or reduced bulb life.
