Description
This amber LED vintage bulb takes the classic ST64 teardrop shape: a rounded top that tapers down to a brass-coloured E27 screw cap, with a single straight filament running up through the centre of the glass. The amber glass turns the light a deep, golden warm white of 1800K, and the bulb gives out 100lm while drawing just 2W. It is 14cm long and 6.4cm in diameter, a size that looks right in an open lampholder where the whole bulb is on show. Its IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms.
We would reach for this bulb when a room calls for a glow rather than full brightness. It is not suitable as a main light source, so treat it as accent lighting: a bare bulb in a pendant over a dining table, a row of pendants above a kitchen island, or a table lamp in a living room or bedroom, where the amber glass and the filament add a vintage warmth in the evening. Paired with your main lighting, it brings colour and character to a room without competing with it. As it is rated IP20, keep it away from bathrooms, outdoor fittings and anywhere damp.
The bulb offers 3-step dimming, giving three levels of brightness, and a memory function that holds the level you last chose. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, and at 0.104KG packed it is light to handle and store as a spare. Because it draws so little power, you can leave it glowing through a long evening with an easy conscience. Before you buy, check that your lamp or pendant takes an E27 screw cap and has room for a bulb 14cm long and 6.4cm in diameter.
