Energetic 12-Pack 4W Dimmable Globe LED Light Bulb, G25 Vintage - Soft

In this review the Energetic 12-Pack G25 globe LED bulbs prove to be a practical pick for anyone wanting vintage looks without the energy waste of old incandescents. The bottom line: these bulbs pair a retro clear glass, long-filament aesthetic with a very low 4W draw that replaces a 40W incandescent, making them ideal for exposed fixtures and vanity lights where appearance matters as much as efficiency. The review focuses on real-world use, dimmer compatibility, longevity expectations and the kinds of rooms where these bulbs work best.

Key Features

• Retro Style: Ultra-thin clear glass and long filaments create a classic exposed-globe look that enhances open fixtures and vintage decor.
• Dimmable Performance: Compatible with most dimmers so brightness can be adjusted smoothly from low to high for different scenes.
• Energy Efficiency: Uses 4W to deliver about 350 lumens, replacing a 40W incandescent to save energy and reduce heat output.
• Soft White Light: 2700K color temperature with CRI85+ offers warm, flattering illumination for bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas.
• Long Life: Instant on and rated for roughly 10,000 hours, reducing the need for frequent replacements in hard-to-reach fixtures.
• Universal Fit: Standard E26 base and globe shape fit most vanity, pendant, table and wall fixtures with an exposed or decorative bulb.

Who It's For

These bulbs are best for homeowners and renters who want the look of vintage Edison globes but need modern LED efficiency. They work particularly well in bathroom vanity fixtures, exposed pendant clusters, mirrored dressing areas and decorative table lamps where the filament and clear glass contribute to the overall style.

They are less appropriate if someone needs very high output for task lighting, needs a color temperature cooler than 2700K, or requires bulbs approved for California shipments; shipping to California is not eligible for this product.
