Description
The G E LIGHTING 27980 is a 5-watt C7 night light bulb designed for continuous low-level illumination in standard night light fixtures. Running on 120 volts with a candelabra base, this white bulb delivers a soft glow rated for 2000 hours of service life. The C7 bulb shape and candelabra base are the most common configuration for residential and commercial night light sockets. Each package contains two bulbs, making it a practical stocking item for facilities maintenance, hospitality, and residential service accounts. Licensed electricians and maintenance technicians typically keep these on hand for high-frequency replacement cycles in hallways, bathrooms, and common areas.
This bulb is suited for use in plug-in night light fixtures, decorative candelabra sockets, and low-wattage accent lighting applications. The 5-watt draw makes it appropriate for fixtures requiring a low-heat, long-duration light source. With a maximum overall length of 2.12 inches, the C7 form factor fits standard night light receptacles without clearance issues. The white finish diffuses light evenly, reducing harsh glare in low-light environments. This is a shelf-stable consumable commonly ordered in case quantities for multi-unit residential properties, hotels, and institutional facilities.
