Amber Dimmable LED Globe Bulb E27 G125 4W 300lm Warm White

This is an amber glass LED globe bulb with an E27 screw cap. It is 17cm long and 12.5cm across, a large, round bulb made to be seen rather than hidden behind a shade. Inside the tinted glass, slim LED filaments run in a zigzag up a clear central stem, and the cap is a bright brass colour. It draws 4W and gives 300 lumens at a colour temperature of 1700K, a deep, golden warm white. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry: living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas, never a bathroom or outdoors.

Since it is not suitable as a main light source, think of it as a decorative light that sets the mood in a room. It suits a bare pendant, a cord set or an open lampholder where the globe sits in full view: over a dining table, beside an armchair or above a kitchen island, with your ceiling lights or lamps doing the practical work. The amber glass keeps its honeyed tint even when the bulb is unlit, so the fitting still looks finished during the day. It is a good choice for anyone who likes the look of an old-fashioned filament lamp but wants a bulb that draws only 4W.

Being dimmable, it can be brought lower still on a suitable dimmer switch for a soft glow late in the evening. It runs on 220-240V mains at 50 or 60Hz and weighs 0.275KG packed. Care is simple: dust the glass with a soft, dry cloth whenever the bulb is cool and unlit. Before you order, check that your lampholder takes an E27 cap and that any shade or cage leaves room for a globe 12.5cm in diameter.

Which lampholder does this globe bulb fit?

It has an E27 screw cap, so it fits a lampholder, pendant or lamp that takes an E27 bulb, provided there is room for a globe 12.5cm in diameter.

Is the bulb dimmable?

Yes, it is dimmable, so on a suitable dimmer switch you can take its 300 lumens down for a lower, softer glow in the evening.

How warm is the light?

The colour temperature is 1700K, a deep, golden warm white that sits well with the amber glass and gives a cosy, gentle light rather than a bright one.

Can it be used as the main light in a room?

No. It is not suitable as a main light source, so pair it with ceiling lights or lamps and use it for mood and decoration.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas.

How big is the bulb?

It is 17cm long and 12.5cm in diameter, a large globe, so check that the shade or pendant leaves enough room around the glass.
