Overview

The GE 47484 Energy Smart G25 Globe CFL is designed to bring energy-efficient lighting to fixtures where the decorative globe shape matters — bathroom vanities, pendant lights, and open-bulb lamps. Drawing just 11 watts to produce 550 lumens of soft white light, it delivers the same warm ambiance as a 40W incandescent globe while consuming roughly 75% less electricity. The G25 shape maintains the rounded, attractive profile that these fixtures are designed to showcase.

Rated for up to 10,000 hours of operation, this CFL significantly outlasts traditional incandescent bulbs, reducing both replacement frequency and long-term costs. It fits any standard medium (E26) socket and carries a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 82, meaning colors appear natural and accurate under its light. As a compact fluorescent, it does contain a small amount of mercury and should be recycled through appropriate channels rather than discarded in regular household waste.
