Description
This vintage-style LED bulb has a teardrop body in amber glass and a spiral filament that coils around a slender central stem. It has the look of an early filament bulb but draws only 4W. It is 14.2cm long and 6.4cm in diameter, with an E27 screw cap, the larger screw size used by many ceiling pendants, table lamps and floor lamps. It gives 270 lumens at 2200K, a deep warm light that the amber glass turns towards gold. The IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors and dry, so keep it away from bathrooms and outdoor fittings.
Because the filament is the reason to buy this bulb, it belongs in fittings that leave it in view: a bare pendant over a dining table or kitchen island, an open cage shade or a clear glass lantern. At 270 lumens it is a mood light rather than a working light. We would choose it for a sitting room in the evening, a bedroom, a hallway or a café-style corner, and pair it with brighter lighting where you read or cook. A row of pendants fitted with these bulbs gives a warm, low glow, and the spiral reads as a soft line of gold whenever the bulb is lit.
The body is glass with an amber tint, and the screw cap has a brass-coloured finish that sits well in an open holder. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. It is not dimmable, so put it in a fitting on an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer. Packed, it weighs 0.068KG. Before you order, check that your lampholder takes an E27 cap and that the shade leaves room for a bulb 14.2cm long.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb go in a bathroom or a garden?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors in dry rooms only, so keep it out of bathrooms and outdoor fittings.
Will it fit my lamp?
It has an E27 screw cap, so it fits a lampholder that takes E27, provided the shade has room for a bulb 14.2cm long and 6.4cm in diameter.
Is the bulb dimmable?
No, this bulb is not dimmable. Use it in a fitting controlled by an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer.
How bright is the light?
It gives 270 lumens from 4W at 2200K. That is a soft, very warm white suited to mood lighting rather than reading or worktops.
What colour is the glass?
The glass is tinted amber, which gives the spiral filament a golden glow and turns the light a warm honey tone whenever it is lit.
