Amber Dimmable LED Bulb E27 4W 245lm Warm White

This amber LED bulb takes the classic pear shape of an old household lamp and fills it with a spiral filament that glows a deep, honeyed orange. The glass is tinted amber throughout and the screw cap has a brass tone, so it looks right in a bare pendant or an open shade where the bulb is part of the look. It is 13cm long and 7.5cm across at its widest, with an E27 cap, the large Edison screw size. It draws 4W and gives 245 lumens at 2000K, a very warm white with a strong amber cast. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms.

Because it is dimmable and gives a soft, low output, this bulb suits the places where atmosphere matters more than reading light: a pendant over the dining table, a bedside lamp, a cluster of bare bulbs above a kitchen island, or a hallway lamp left glowing through the evening. It is not intended as the main light source in a room, so we suggest pairing it with brighter overhead or task lighting and letting the amber glow set the mood. Turned low, the filament settles into a gentle ember that makes a room feel calmer after dark.

The amber glass is the shade here, so the bulb is meant to be seen, and the spiral filament is held in place on a slender central stem. It runs on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains supply and weighs just 0.071KG packed, which makes it easy to handle when you change a bulb high in a pendant. Before you buy, check that your lamp or pendant takes an E27 cap and, if you plan to dim it, that your dimmer is one made for LED bulbs.
