Description
A slim column of gold-tinted glass with a line filament running the length of it, this one is meant to be looked at rather than tucked away. It stands 185mm tall in the holder and gives an amber, candlelit light at 1800K, well below the usual warm white. Power draw is 4W, the output spreads evenly all the way round the tube, and it dims on a compatible dimmer.
We reach for lamps like this where the glass is on show: open pendants over a counter, wall lights with no shade to speak of, a picture rail run of small fittings, or the bare-lamp holders that suit a hallway. The E14 cap makes it a candle-lamp replacement in chandeliers and mirror lights, though the tube shape gives a different look entirely, more upright and more graphic. The very low colour temperature suits evening rooms, snugs and bars, anywhere you want the light to feel like flame. If you read or work at the fitting, something whiter will serve you better.
The body is glass with a gold tint through it, so the colour stays put and cannot rub off, and the cap is the standard small screw fitting. Wipe it only when the lamp is switched off and cold, using a dry cloth on the glass and nothing wet near the cap; household sprays and polishes will mark the tint. It is a lamp for dry indoor holders on a normal household supply, and a suitable dimmer is needed if you want to take the level down, sold separately from this. It carries a three year warranty. We would pair it with clear or smoked glass shades, or leave it entirely bare where the filament line can do the work.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it?
It produces about 300 lumens from 4W, which is a soft, decorative level rather than a main working light. In a multi-lamp chandelier or a row of small fittings the effect builds up nicely.
What does 1800K actually look like?
Deep amber, close to candle flame or a very old filament lamp. It is warmer than the 2700K most people know as warm white, and it flatters brick, brass and dark timber.
Will it work on my existing dimmer?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer rated for LED loads. Older resistive dimmers made for filament lamps can cause flicker or buzz, and no dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
What size is it?
The tube measures 30mm across and 185mm from the base of the cap to the tip, so check the shade or gallery on your fitting has the height to take it.
Does it fit a standard candle holder?
Yes, the cap is E14, the same small screw fitting used by candle lamps, so it drops straight into most chandeliers, wall lights and mirror lights.
How should I clean the glass?
Switch off at the wall and let it cool, then take the dust off with a dry cloth. Avoid solvents and cleaning sprays, which can dull the gold tint.
