Elstead Lighting Tubular E27 8W Filament Dimmable - Warm White 3000K

This 8W LED tubular bulb features four vertical filament strips inside a clear cylindrical glass envelope measuring 128mm tall by 30mm diameter. The E27 screw base fits standard lamp holders, and the visible filament design makes the bulb itself a decorative element in exposed pendants, wall lights, cage fittings and table lamps where the bulb is on show.

Designed for dimmable installations, the bulb allows gradual adjustment from full 900-lumen output down to low ambient levels, making it suitable for dining pendants, bedside wall lights and living rooms where light levels change through the day. The 3000K colour temperature provides warm white light comparable to traditional tungsten filament bulbs, without the heat output or short lifespan of incandescent lamps.

The tubular form factor works in pendant fittings where a standard bulb shape would look too squat, and in industrial-style cage lights where the elongated silhouette balances the metal frame. The clear glass shows the internal filament strips as four parallel amber-yellow bars when lit, giving a softer visual appearance than single-point LED chips. At 8W draw the bulb delivers 900 lumens, equivalent to a 60W incandescent in light output but using 87% less energy.

Elstead Lighting backs the bulb with a 2-year warranty. The LED lifespan typically exceeds 15,000 hours of operation, reducing the frequency of bulb replacement compared to halogen or incandescent alternatives. The bulb operates on standard 230V mains voltage and requires a compatible LED dimmer for dimming functionality to work correctly.

Is this bulb dimmable?

Yes. The bulb is designed for use with LED-compatible dimmers. Dimmer compatibility varies by manufacturer, so if you experience flickering or limited dimming range, contact us for advice on suitable dimmer models.

What colour temperature is the light?

The bulb emits 3000K warm white light, comparable to traditional tungsten filament bulbs. This is warmer than daylight-rated LEDs and suits residential interiors where a cosy tone is preferred over clinical white light.

How long is the bulb compared to a standard bulb?

At 128mm tall excluding the screw base, the tubular bulb is approximately twice the height of a standard A60 bulb. Check the fitting depth of your lamp shade or fixture before ordering to ensure the bulb will sit correctly inside or below the fitting.

What is the light output in lumens?

The bulb delivers 900 lumens at full brightness, equivalent to a 60W incandescent bulb. When dimmed, the lumen output reduces proportionally with the power draw.
