This 3-pack covers a full room effectively, offering excellent value.

The bulbs utilise a standard 220 to 240 volts at 50 Hertz frequency and feature a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 80. They are built by TP-LINK and are designed for simple installation into existing E27 light fixtures. Please note that these bulbs provide only warm white illumination, not colour-changing functionality.
