LED bulbs
Curious about what's inside LED light bulbs? They are designed with a circuit board and tiny diodes, LED bulbs use up to 85% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, making them an eco-friendly choice for every room. Whether you need an E27 base, dimmable options, decorative styles, or colour-changing smart bulbs, we have a variety to suit your light fittings and preferences. Upgrade to LED for a brighter, more energy-efficient home.
Types of LED light bulbs
From classic to contemporary, our LED bulbs help you express your unique style. Choose curvaceous opal bulbs for a soft, diffused glow, or opt for elongated chandelier-style bulbs that add a touch of elegance.
Explore decorative LED bulbs featuring handcrafted glass: perfect for living rooms, kitchens or home offices with a Scandi-inspired aesthetic. Our robust, round bulbs with smoky glass emit an ember-like glow that creates a stunning visual effect, with a glowing orange core visible through the tinted outer shell. Whether suspended from pendant lights or paired with a table lamp, these bulbs become a feature in themselves. The amber-tinted variation casts beautiful patterns across walls and ceilings while delivering the same warm light as a traditional 80W bulb, without any flickering or humming. Perfect for creating that cosy atmosphere Aussies love.
Decorative LED filament bulbs showcase their vintage-inspired elements through clear or tinted glass. Think pink-hued, jug-shaped bulbs with distinctive V-shaped filaments, or classic Edison-style lamps with LED bulbs that bring retro charm to any space. Hang them above a breakfast nook for relaxed weekend brunches, or use them with a bedside table lamp. They look fantastic with transparent shades or on their own for that industrial-meets-vintage vibe.
For focused lighting, choose LED bulbs with a spotlight effect: from statement-making studded designs to practical GU10 dimmable bulbs ideal for recessed downlights throughout your home.
Smart lighting made simple
Dimmable LED bulbs let you adjust the mood for any occasion. With smart dimmable options, the light gets warmer as you dim, creating that perfect soft, ambient glow for movie nights or entertaining.
Understanding LED bulb lumens
Once you've chosen your bulb style, it's time to consider brightness. Lumens measure light output - here's what works where:
- Everyday task lighting (250-450 lumens): Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces where you need clear, functional light. Our opal globe and chandelier bulbs in this range provide crisp illumination without harsh glare.
- Bright, energising light (400-600 lumens): Daylight bulbs in this range work beautifully for high ceilings and recessed downlights. Many are dimmable too: simply adjust to suit the time of day.
- Ambient, mood lighting (80-200 lumens): Perfect for creating atmosphere. Use decorative LED bulbs at this level for intimate dinner parties, bedside reading, or anywhere you want a softer, more relaxed feel.
Remember, you can always layer your lighting. Combine brighter task lighting with dimmable options or lower-lumen decorative bulbs to create a flexible lighting scheme that works from morning coffee to late-night entertaining.

What are the pros and cons of LED light bulbs?
LED bulbs use up to 85% less energy and last up to 20 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. They also run much cooler, making them safer and more comfortable in Australian homes. While LED bulbs cost a bit more upfront, the savings on your electricity bill and fewer replacements mean they pay for themselves over time: a smart choice for your wallet and the environment.
Can you replace any light bulb with an LED bulb?
In most cases, yes, as long as the LED bulb fits the socket and your light fitting supports the bulb's wattage requirements.
Can you put an LED bulb in a regular light fixture?
Absolutely, provided the fixture meets the minimum wattage requirement. Just note that older dimmer switches may not be compatible with all LED bulbs: check the packaging or product details to ensure compatibility.
