Globe Light Bulbs FAQs
What is a globe light bulb?
A globe light bulb is a round, ball-shaped bulb named for its spherical glass design. The most common sizes are G25 (3.125" diameter) for bathroom vanity bars and pendants, and G30 (3.75" diameter) for larger statement fixtures. Feit Electric globe LED bulbs are available in both clear and frosted glass with E26 standard base.
What size globe bulb fits a bathroom vanity fixture?
G25 (3.125" diameter) is the most common size for bathroom vanity bars and Hollywood-style mirror surrounds. For larger vanity fixtures, G30 fits most oversized vanity strips. Both use a standard E26 medium base. Feit Electric G25 globe bulbs are available in soft white and bright white to match your bathroom lighting preference.
What is the difference between G25 and G30 globe bulbs?
G25 is 3.125 inches in diameter — the standard size for most vanity fixtures, pendant lights, and exposed-socket designs. G30 is 3.75 inches in diameter — a larger, bolder statement bulb for oversized pendants and decorative fixtures. Both use a standard E26 base. Check your fixture opening size before choosing between the two.
Are globe light bulbs dimmable?
Not all globe bulbs are dimmable — look for the dimmable label on the package. For bathroom vanities, a dimmable globe bulb gives you flexibility between bright task lighting and softer ambient light. Pair with an LED-compatible dimmer switch. Feit Electric clearly marks dimmable globe bulbs on every package.
Can globe bulbs be used in enclosed fixtures?
Standard globe LED bulbs are not rated for enclosed fixtures — the round glass shape traps heat and shortens bulb life in sealed housings. For enclosed globe fixtures, look for bulbs specifically labeled enclosed fixture rated. Feit Electric globe bulbs are labeled with fixture compatibility so you can match with confidence.
