SAL | 9W ES LED Lamp Tri Colour 3K/4K/6K | E27 Base
The SAL LT409TC-E27 is a 9W ES LED lamp rated 240V with selectable colour temperature (3000K/4000K/6000K), delivering 850–900 lumens depending on the temperature mode selected. The LT409TC-E27 features high-efficiency SMD LED chips with a 200-degree beam spread, integral non-dimmable driver, double insulation, and suits most CFL lamp fittings. It complies with a CRI rating of 80 and is rated for standard E27 screw-base lamp holders.
Replacing traditional CFL tubular lamps with LED equivalents demands a compact profile that fits existing fixtures without modification. The LT409TC-E27 measures just 102mm long by 40mm diameter, making it one of the shortest LED tubular options available in the market. Many residential and commercial installations retain old fan lights, ceiling light fittings, and enclosed downlights specifically because replacement with standard-length bulbs requires cutting or rewiring. The LT409TC-E27 solves this: electricians and property managers can upgrade to LED efficiency without fixture changes, avoiding the cost and disruption of a full refurbishment.
Buyers value the tri-colour switching capability: a single globe adapts to any room's lighting need. Warm white (3000K) suits bedrooms and lounges for a cosy atmosphere; cool white (4000K) works for kitchens and workspaces where task lighting matters; daylight (6000K) energises home offices and commercial environments. The non-dimmable integral driver means no special ballasts or controllers are needed—plug into any standard E27 holder and adjust colour temperature by switching off the supply, changing the temperature setting, then switching on again (following SAL's safety guidance). At just 9W, the globe cuts energy consumption compared to older 15–23W CFL tubes while delivering equivalent light output.
Non-dimmable operation — the integral LED driver does not support dimmer switches. The LT409TC-E27 is suitable only for standard full-brightness applications; for dimmable tri-colour LED tubes on E27 bases, SAL's dimmable LT409TC-E27D model is available as an alternative.
Features
- Tri-colour selectable temperature — switches between 3000K (warm white), 4000K (cool white), and 6000K (daylight) to suit any room, mood, or task lighting need.
- Compact 102mm length — fits existing fan lights, enclosed downlights, and vintage fixtures where standard-length LED tubes would not fit, avoiding costly rewiring.
- 850–900 lumens output — delivers brightness equivalent to 15–18W CFL tubes at just 9W consumption, reducing energy costs while maintaining adequate illumination.
- High-efficiency SMD LED chips — high-quality light-emitting diodes with 200-degree beam spread and CRI 80, ensuring colour fidelity suitable for retail, hospitality, and residential spaces.
- Double insulation — rated IEC 61010 for electrical safety; no earthing required, simplifying installation in standard lamp holders.
- Non-dimmable integral driver — built-in power supply means no external ballast, starter, or control module needed; operates on standard 240V AC supply at 50Hz.
- E27 screw base — standard Edison screw thread fits most residential and commercial lamp fittings, light fixtures, and wall lights without adapters.
- Long service life — LED technology delivers 25,000+ hours of operation before end of life, far exceeding fluorescent tubes and halogen bulbs.
- CRI 80 colour rendering — accurately reproduces true colour of illuminated objects and skin tones, important in retail environments, salons, and kitchens.
- Suits most CFL fittings — mechanical fit and electrical interface compatible with fixtures designed for compact fluorescent lamps, eliminating the need for new hardware.
Where to use
- Kitchen pendant lights and ceiling lights — the LT409TC-E27's compact 102mm length fits enclosed ceiling light fittings and pendant heads where standard-length LED tubes do not, and tri-colour switching adapts light tone from warm for dining to cool white for food preparation.
- Bedroom and lounge ceiling lights — warm white (3000K) creates a restful atmosphere, while cool white and daylight modes support reading and focused tasks in the same fixture.
- Existing fan lights with enclosed fixtures — many ceiling fan light units have shallow canopies that reject standard 120mm LED tubes; the 102mm LT409TC-E27 fits these legacy fixtures, allowing upgrades to energy-efficient LED without replacing the fan.
- Retail shop fittings and display lighting — CRI 80 and 4000K/6000K modes support accurate colour display of merchandise, and tri-colour capability lets retailers adjust ambience throughout the day or by department.
- Commercial office downlights and wall lights — 9W consumption and 25,000-hour lifespan lower operating costs in 24/7 or high-use commercial environments; cool white (4000K) supports focus and productivity.
- Bathroom and laundry ceiling lights — daylight (6000K) aids visibility for grooming and task work, while the non-dimmable design suits wet-area regulations that often restrict dimming.
- Hospitality venues and salons — tri-colour switching lets staff adjust mood lighting and task lighting without fixture changes; CRI 80 ensures skin tones and product colours remain true.
- Retrofit upgrades to existing CFL installations — electricians and property managers upgrading aging fluorescent tube systems can specify the LT409TC-E27 to drop directly into existing holders, avoiding the cost of new fittings and extending fixture lifespan.
The SAL LT409TC-E27 is not suitable for dimmable circuits or installations requiring dimmer control. It is also rated for interior use only and is not weatherproof; do not install in exterior, damp, or corrosive environments. For outdoor or moisture-prone applications, weatherproof-rated LED globes are available separately.
