Description
A slim clear glass tube on an E14 cap, with the line of LED filament running its full length and nothing hiding it. The light sits at a warm 2700K, close to the soft yellow-white of an old incandescent lamp, and it draws only 4W to get there. It dims, provided the circuit already has a dimmer suited to LED, and it gives its light all round rather than throwing it in one direction.
We reach for this one in fittings where the lamp itself is part of the look: open wall lights, small pendants, and candle-style fittings that leave the glass on show. At 185mm it stands tall in the holder, so it suits anywhere you want a vertical line of light instead of a rounded bulb. It works well over a mirror, along a hallway, or above a dining table where a dimmer lets you drop the level once the plates are cleared. We keep it in clear only, because the whole point of a tubular lamp is watching the filament line do its work.
The body is clear glass, the cap is the small screw type, and the lamp is light enough to sit comfortably in a delicate holder. Wipe it only when it is cold, using a dry cloth and no cleaner, since anything damp on a warm lamp is asking for trouble; fingerprints show more on clear glass than on opal, so handle it by the cap when fitting. It carries a three year warranty. No dimmer is supplied with it, so check what is already on the wall before you order. Paired with a plain metal wall light or a slender brass pendant, it looks the part while using very little.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give?
Around 300 lumens from 4W, which is the sort of gentle output you want from a lamp meant to be looked at as well as looked by.
Will it work with my dimmer?
It is dimmable, but only on a dimmer designed for LED loads. Older resistive dimmers made for filament lamps can flicker or buzz. No dimmer is supplied.
What are the exact dimensions?
185mm long and 28mm in diameter, so measure the space inside a shade or lantern before ordering.
What colour is the light?
2700K warm white, with a colour rendering index of 80, giving a mellow, slightly amber tone rather than a crisp white.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours, so in a fitting used a few hours each evening it should run for many years.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. Keep it to dry indoor rooms and choose a lamp made for damp or exposed positions instead.
