Description
Here is a big amber filament lamp in the bulged tubular shape, wide across the shoulders and tapering back to an E27 screw cap. The tinted glass softens the LED filaments into warm lines rather than hard points, and the colour sits at 1800K, close to a candle flame. It draws 4W. There is no dimming on this one, so a standard switch is all it asks for.
We reach for lamps like this where the bulb is the fitting: a single bare flex over a kitchen island, a run of drops above a long table, an open cage, or a shade wide enough to leave the glass on show. Because the light spreads all round rather than throwing down in a cone, it reads well from below and from across the room. It gives atmosphere rather than working light, so we would pair it with something brighter over a worktop and let this handle the evening. Bars, snugs, hallways and bedrooms all take it well, and it suits anyone who likes their light low, warm and slightly golden.
The envelope is amber glass, warm-toned whether the lamp is lit or resting, and it is worth handling it by the cap so the wide bowl stays clear of fingermarks. The screw cap suits any standard E27 holder, so it drops straight into most open pendants. Cleaning is a dry cloth on cold glass with the power off at the switch, no sprays and nothing gritty. It carries a five year warranty. At 18cm across, it is one of the larger decorative lamps we keep, and we think it looks best hanging alone or in a loose group at staggered heights, where the shape has room to be seen.

Frequently Asked
How big is it?
It measures 180mm across the widest part of the glass and 395mm tall overall, so allow generous space in an open pendant or cage.
Can it be dimmed?
No. This one is non-dimmable, so wire it to a plain on/off switch and avoid trailing or wall dimmers.
How bright is it, and what does the light look like?
It gives around 300 lumens at 4W, with a colour temperature of 1800K. That is a soft, deep amber glow for mood rather than reading or close work.
What cap does it need?
An E27 screw holder, which is the standard large screw fitting used on most pendants and table lamps.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours of average life and carries a five year warranty.
Does it suit a light with an open top or no shade?
Yes. The light is emitted all the way round and the amber glass keeps the filaments from glaring, which is why it works so well left on view.
