Description
Our Big Idea E27 bulb is built around a 3W LED housed within a clear glass envelope, letting the filament sit on full view. At 12.5cm in diameter and 18cm tall, this is a G125 globe shape, and it weighs just 95g. The clear glass means the interior filament arrangement stays visible whether the bulb is lit or resting unlit in a fitting, so we tend to reach for it where the bulb itself is meant to be seen rather than hidden behind a shade.
We have set the colour temperature at 2200K, which gives a warm amber glow that suits a relaxed corner or a spot where you want low, unhurried light. The bulb produces 325 lumen and runs at an efficiency of 108 lumen per watt, so you get that gentle output without a heavy draw on power. With a CRI of 84, colours around the room hold up reasonably well under it. It runs on 220-240V at 50 Hz, and its rated life is 15000 hours, meaning you should get a long stretch of use before a swap is needed. Do note that this bulb is non-dimmable, so we would pair it with a standard switch rather than a dimmer circuit.
The E27 screw cap fits the common large-thread holder, which makes this an easy match for a table lamp base, a floor lamp, or an open fitting where the globe form reads clearly. It carries the CE Standard mark for indoor use and the UKCA mark, so it is intended for use inside the home. The power factor is 0.51. We think of this as a straightforward warm bulb for spaces where the glass and filament are part of the look, and we are happy to answer any further questions before you buy from us.
