Description
A long, slender glass tube on a small screw cap, this is a decorative lamp meant to be seen rather than hidden. The gold tint in the glass softens the light and gives the filament line a warm amber glow, and at 1800K the output sits at the candle-flame end of warm white. It draws 6W and stands 280mm tall, enough to read as a vertical line in an open fitting. It is dimmable, though a compatible dimmer is needed to take it down smoothly.
We reach for this one where the lamp is the visible part of the design: bare-bulb pendants, cluster fittings hung at staggered heights over a kitchen island, or a row of clear glass shades down a hallway. The narrow tube suits fittings where a globe would look heavy, and the low colour temperature flatters brick, timber and dark paint. It works well in bars and dining rooms, and at home in any room where you want the light to feel like evening rather than daylight. Turned down low, it keeps its warmth instead of going grey.
The body is gold-tinted glass, warm rather than brassy, and the tone shows even when the lamp is off. Light spreads all round the tube rather than throwing in one direction, so it reads as a glowing line from every angle. Dust it with a dry cloth only once the glass is cool to hold; nothing wet, and no sprays near the cap. A suitable dimmer is not supplied with it. It carries a three year warranty. Paired with a plain metal pendant or a clear shade, the gold tube does the decorative work on its own.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give?
It produces 500 lumens at 1800K, an extra warm, amber light closer to candlelight than to a standard warm white lamp.
What size is it?
The tube measures 30mm across and 280mm from cap to tip, so check the height of any shade or holder before ordering.
Will it dim with my existing dimmer?
It dims, but only on a dimmer suited to low-wattage LED lamps. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp, and an older mains dimmer intended for filament lamps may flicker or buzz.
What cap does it take?
It has an E14 small screw cap, the same as most candle lamps.
Can I use it in an outdoor lantern?
We would keep it to indoor fittings on a normal household circuit, where it stays dry and sheltered.
How do I clean the glass?
Switch off at the wall, wait until the lamp is completely cool, then wipe the tube with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water and household cleaners, particularly near the cap.
