G50

A globe-lamp designation whose physical diameter depends on the naming convention used by the manufacturer and region.

Bulb Technology

A globe-lamp designation whose physical diameter depends on the naming convention used by the manufacturer and region.

How to identify G50

In metric catalogues, G50 commonly describes a globe approximately 50 millimetres across. Under the eighth-inch convention, G50 would indicate a much larger 6¼-inch globe. The actual product dimensions must therefore be checked.

Common applications

Decorative strings, vanities, exposed pendants, hospitality interiors, retail displays and ornamental fixtures, depending on the actual diameter.

Technologies and base options

G50-labelled lamps are available in LED and incandescent forms with several screw and bayonet bases, clear or frosted finishes and decorative filament options.

Technologies represented in this library: LED, Incandescent.

Available base types: E12, E14, E26, E27, B22.

Typical market availability

Technology Common wattage range Typical lumen range Common colour temperatures Common voltage options
LED 1–15 W 50–1500 lm 1800K, 2200K, 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K 12V; 24V; 120V; 220–240V
INCANDESCENT 7–100 W 30–1300 lm Approximately 2200K–2700K 12V; 24V; 120V; 220–240V

These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, region and product generation.

How to select the correct lamp

Use the manufacturer’s dimensions as the primary reference. Then match base, voltage, total length, finish, environmental rating, output and dimming.

Compatibility and safety

G50 is an ambiguous designation across markets. A listed G50 lamp should never be ordered without confirming its diameter in millimetres or inches.

Important: The library describes a lamp format, not a particular product. A shared shape does not guarantee matching voltage, base, dimensions, light distribution or control-gear requirements. Confirm the fixture label and product datasheet, or ask a Bulb World lighting specialist.

Replacement Notes

Use the manufacturer's dimensions as the primary reference. Then match base, voltage, total length, finish, environmental rating, output and dimming.

Capability Warning

G50 is an ambiguous designation across markets. A listed G50 lamp should never be ordered without confirming its diameter in millimetres or inches.
