When it comes to classic and reliable lighting, nothing is more recognisable than the GLS bulb. Known as the General Lighting Service lamp, this traditional light bulb design has been illuminating homes, offices, and commercial spaces for over a century. At NZLights, we offer a wide variety of GLS bulbs in New Zealand, combining the timeless look of incandescent lighting with modern efficiency through halogen and LED alternatives.

What is a GLS Bulb?

A GLS bulb is the standard, pear-shaped lamp that most people associate with everyday lighting. Its universal design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including domestic lighting, decorative fixtures, lampshades, and outdoor fittings.

Today, GLS bulbs are available in different technologies:

• Traditional Incandescent GLS Bulbs – Warm light, but less energy efficient.

• Halogen GLS Bulbs – Brighter and longer-lasting, with better energy savings.

• LED GLS Bulbs – The most energy-efficient option, with lifespans up to 25,000 hours.

2. Wide Compatibility – Available in bayonet (B22) and screw (E27, E14) caps.

3. Variety of Wattages – From low-power decorative to high-brightness options.

4. Different Light Colours – Warm white, cool white, and daylight.
