how to replace an accessible E27 food-warmer globe
change a failed food-warmer globe only where the appliance instructions allow user replacement. the linked globes are ptfe-coated reflectors rated 250 W at 220-240 V, with an E27 screw cap, approximately 125 mm across and 174 mm high.
choose the one-globe or six-globe pack as needed; neither includes a shade or holder.

scope: the fitting must accept the stated rating and size. a 275 W marking, different cap or different shape needs checking before ordering. hardwired fitting repairs are separate electrical work.
tools and materials
- clean gloves or lint-free cloth
steps
- let the warmer cool
switch off and disconnect the supply as the manual requires. wait until the shade and globe are fully cool.
- check the globe
read the accessible lamp-rating label and compare an already-removed globe. check the product page compatibility checker. ask for help if the lamp instructions differ, the holder is damaged or several lamps failed together.
- change the globe
follow the warmer's user-replacement instructions. on the documented threaded E27 fitting, unscrew the cooled globe anticlockwise and screw in the matching globe without overtightening. use clean dry gloves or a cloth. leave hardwired fitting work and damaged holders to an electrician.
- check the light
check that it lights normally after the change. stop if it fails again or the fitting is damaged.
