Description
This amber dimmable LED vintage bulb pairs the look of an old filament lamp with the low wattage of LED. The glass is tinted amber, and the bulb has a tall teardrop shape with a small tip at the crown, upright LED filaments held on a central stem and a gold-coloured E27 screw cap. It is 14.2cm long and 6.4cm across at its widest, so check that your shade or lampholder has room for that length before you order. It draws 4W and gives 300lm at 1700K, a deep, candlelit warm light. The IP rating is IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms only.
This is a decorative bulb rather than a workhorse: it is not suitable as a main light source, so think of it as the glow in an open pendant, a bare cord set, a table lamp with a clear shade or a wall light where the bulb is on show. It suits studies, dining areas, living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, wherever you want warmth rather than working brightness. Hung low over a dining table or a desk, the amber glass and glowing filaments become the feature of the fitting, and the very warm light sits kindly with wood, brick and darker paint colours.
The bulb is dimmable, so on a dimmer circuit you can take it down from its full 300lm to a gentle ember for late evenings. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, and it weighs 0.103KG packed. The envelope is glass, so a soft dry cloth is enough to keep the amber tint clear of dust whenever the bulb is unlit. As a practical note, plan a brighter main light alongside it and let this bulb set the mood.

Frequently Asked
Is this amber LED bulb dimmable?
Yes, it is dimmable, so on a dimmer circuit you can bring the 300lm output right down for a soft, low glow in the evening.
Which cap does the bulb have?
It has an E27 screw cap, the large screw fitting, so it suits lampholders and pendants made for E27 bulbs.
How warm is the light?
It is rated at 1700K, a very warm amber light that reads closer to candlelight than an ordinary household bulb, helped along by the amber-tinted glass.
Can it light a whole room alone?
No, it is not suitable as a main light source. It gives 300lm from 4W, so it works best as a decorative glow beside a brighter main light.
How big is the bulb?
It is 14.2cm long and 6.4cm across, so check that your shade or lampholder has enough clearance for that length before you buy.
Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from bathrooms, outdoor fittings and anywhere damp.
