"Sainsbury's Home LED Frosted Candle 40W BC Light Bulb "

The small print "Wattage: 4.2W, Luminous flux: 470 lumens".

With this new system, it’ll be easier to know which LED bulbs are the most energy-efficient, but it’ll give more room for progress. The current most energy-efficient LED bulbs will be rated F or G in the new ratings, allowing manufacturers to improve their products and design even more energy-efficient LED lamps.
