Description
This is a dimmable LED vintage bulb with an amber glass body and a spiral filament that coils up around a slim central stem. It has the classic teardrop shape, narrowing to a small rounded tip, and sits on a gold-coloured E27 screw cap. It is 14.2cm long and 6.4cm across, so it is worth checking that a shade or holder leaves room for its full length. It draws 4W and gives 245lm at 2000K, a deep, golden warm white. With an IP20 rating it belongs indoors in a dry room, never in a bathroom or outdoors.
Because the filament is made to be seen, this amber bulb looks its best in plain view: in a bare pendant holder, an open cage fitting or a clear-glass wall light in a living room, dining room, bedroom or hallway. It is listed as not suitable as a main light source, and at 245lm that makes sense, so we suggest it as accent lighting, hung in a row over a dining table or set alongside brighter ceiling lights. It suits anyone who wants a cosy, low glow for winter evenings, a café-style corner or a quiet spot by a favourite armchair.
The bulb is dimmable, so on a dimmer switch you can bring the glow down further for a softer, lantern-like look late in the evening. It runs on mains power at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and the E27 cap is the larger standard screw cap that many pendants and table lamps take. Glass is easy to wipe clean, and a soft dry cloth now and then keeps the amber tint clear and bright. Packed, it weighs 0.069KG. Plan this vintage bulb as a finishing layer: pair it with a brighter main light wherever a room needs good working light, and let it set the mood.
