Overview

The GE 12658 is a 15-watt A15-shaped incandescent bulb designed for situations where subtle, ambient light is preferred over bright illumination. Producing approximately 100 to 115 lumens through a frosted soft white finish, it casts a warm, gentle glow that works well in table lamps, accent fixtures, nightlights, and enclosed light housings. The standard E26 medium screw base ensures it fits the vast majority of household lamp sockets without adapters.

With a rated average lifetime of 2,500 hours—roughly 2.3 years at three hours of daily use—and estimated annual energy costs of just $1.81, this bulb is an economical choice for low-demand lighting applications. Its 130-volt rating provides a degree of durability against voltage fluctuations, though it may run slightly below peak brightness on standard 120-volt circuits. While incandescent technology has largely been superseded by LEDs for primary lighting, the GE 12658 remains a practical option for anyone who prefers the traditional warm tone of incandescent light in accent or decorative settings.
