What is a B22 Bayonet LED Bulb?
The B22 bulb, commonly referred to as the bayonet bulb, gets its name from its base design. It features a "push and twist" mechanism, making it one of the most secure and user-friendly bulb fittings available. The LED variant of the B22 is an energy-efficient upgrade to traditional incandescent or compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs.
What is a B22 bayonet bulb?
A B22 bulb has a 22mm bayonet base with two pins. You push it into the lamp holder and twist to lock it. It is also called a BC (bayonet cap) or large bayonet bulb, and it is the standard bayonet size in the UK.
How to choose a B22 LED bulb
Check the shape (globe, GLS, filament), the brightness in lumens, and the colour temperature. A 60W incandescent is roughly 800 lumens, and warm white at about 2700K suits living areas. If you want to dim, check that both the bulb and your dimmer are LED-compatible.
