Description
A slender column of smoked glass on a small E14 cap, this is a bulb meant to be seen rather than tucked away behind a shade. It stands 280mm tall and just 30mm across, so it draws a fine vertical line wherever it is fitted. The tinted glass takes the edge off the LED inside, and the light itself is a clean cool white that keeps whites looking white and metals looking crisp. It is dimmable too, given a dimmer rated for LED loads.
We reach for tubes like this where the bulb is on show: open pendants, bare-flex clusters, cage lanterns and multi-arm fittings that were never meant to carry a shade. The height gives a row of pendants over an island or a long table a tidy rhythm, and the smoked glass keeps the glare civil at eye level. Cool white is the practical choice for kitchens, utility rooms and home offices, where you want to see what you are doing. If you are filling a fitting with several, buy them together so the tone matches across the lot.
Glass runs the full length of the tube, smoked rather than clear, with the E14 thread in metal at the base. To clean, switch the circuit off and wait for the tube to lose its heat, then draw a dry lint-free cloth along it from cap to tip; no sprays, and nothing abrasive that could mark the tint. It carries a three year warranty. Being a long lamp, it wants a fitting with room above the holder, so measure before you order. We like it against brass and blackened steel, and in a group rather than singly, where one tube alone would look stranded.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it?
It gives 500 lumens from 6W, spread right around the tube, which suits it to decorative fittings where the bulb is visible rather than to task lighting from a single point.
What colour is the light?
4000K cool white. It reads neutral and slightly crisp next to a warm white bulb, so we would not mix the two in the same fitting.
Will it work on my dimmer?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer suitable for LED loads. No dimmer is supplied with the bulb.
How much space does it need?
Allow for a tube 280mm long and 30mm in diameter above the lampholder, plus the depth of the cap itself.
Does the smoked glass reduce the output?
The tint softens the view of the LED inside and takes the hard edge off the brightness, and the quoted 500 lumens is the figure for the finished bulb as supplied.
Can I clean the glass with a damp cloth?
We would keep it dry. A soft lint-free cloth on a cool bulb is enough, and moisture near the cap or contacts is best avoided.
