Description
The twist here runs the full length of a candle-shaped body, so the glass catches light along its edge rather than sitting flat. Frosting softens what comes through, spreading the output evenly and taking the hard edge off the filament, so you see a soft glow rather than a bright line. Warmth sits at 2700K, the amber-leaning white most people want in a living room, and the lamp draws 60W. It has a small bayonet cap, B15D, with the pins set opposite one another, so it is worth checking the holder you are filling.
We would put these in a chandelier or a multi-arm ceiling fitting, anywhere the lamps are on show and the shape earns its keep. They suit wall lights and candle-style table lamps too, and the frosted glass is kinder to the eye than clear glass at head height. It dims, provided the circuit has a dimmer suited to it; no dimmer is supplied. In dining rooms, hallways and bedrooms, we would run it low through the evening and let the warm tone do the work.
The body measures 35mm across, slim enough that it does not crowd the arms of a smaller fitting or fill out a narrow shade. The frosted finish is even across the whole envelope, and it asks little: a dry cloth over cooled glass, nothing damp near the cap, and no polish. As an incandescent lamp it gives full warmth the instant it is switched on, with no run-up. It carries a one year warranty. We keep it for fittings where a decorative filament shape is wanted without the glare of clear glass.

Can I dim it?
Yes, on a dimmer suited to incandescent lamps. No dimmer is included with the bulb.
What size is it?
35mm across the body and 95mm tall, so it stays in proportion in small shades and candle fittings.
How long does it last?
Average life is 1000 hours. It carries a one year warranty.
How should I clean it?
Switch off at the wall, let the glass cool completely, then wipe with a dry cloth. Keep moisture and cleaning sprays away from the cap.
