Description
This is a large LED globe bulb in amber-tinted glass, with a spiral filament that winds around a slim glass stem at its centre and an E27 screw cap in a brass colour. It measures 12.5cm across and 16.7cm long, so it is a generous globe that is meant to be seen. It draws 4W and gives 245lm of light at 2000K, a very warm, golden white that the amber glass makes warmer still. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms, and never in a bathroom or an outdoor fitting.
Because the filament is the whole point, this bulb looks its best where it hangs bare or sits in an open shade: a simple pendant cord set, a cage shade or an exposed wall light. It suits a living room, a dining area, a hallway or a bedroom, anywhere you want a soft glow more than bright working light. We would treat it as a mood bulb. It is not suitable as a main light source, and at 245lm it pairs best with a brighter ceiling light or reading lamps that handle the everyday tasks, leaving this one to set the tone in the evening.
It is dimmable, so on a suitable dimmer switch you can turn the glow down low for a quieter evening. It runs on a standard 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains supply, and the E27 cap is the large screw cap that many pendants and table lamps take. The glass is amber all the way round, so the bulb keeps its honey tone even when it is switched off, which matters where the bulb is on show all day. Packed, it weighs 0.275KG. One practical note to close: at 12.5cm across, check that your shade or lamp holder has room for a globe of this size before you order.
