This is an oversized 200mm amber globe bulb built for looks as much as light, with a 2.8W LED behind the glass. Inside the glass sits an etched acrylic sleeve that spreads the light and cuts glare, so it is comfortable to look at head on. It gives 120 lumens of warm white light at 1800K, a soft, low light that is more for mood than for reading by. At 1800K the light is deep and warm, more amber than white, for a candle-like feel.
A big globe like this is made to be seen, so it works best in open pendants, table bases and bare-flex fittings where the glass is on show. The soft, low-glare output suits living rooms, bedrooms and bars, adding warmth and a low, cosy light rather than a bright working one. It is a good pick for anyone dressing an open fitting who wants the bulb itself to be part of the look.
The amber tinted glass carries the diffuser inside, and the E27 screw cap fits any standard large-screw holder. Keep the low output in mind, as this bulb is for mood and atmosphere, not for task lighting. Switch it off, let it cool and wipe the glass with a dry, soft cloth to keep it clear. As an LED it lights instantly at full brightness, with no warm-up or flicker. Being LED, it runs cool and uses a fraction of the power of the bulb it replaces, which keeps running costs down. This amber anti-glare globe bulb pairs with the exposed fittings and flex sets in our range.
