Description
The Z-shaped filament is the whole point here: a slim tube of gold-tinted glass with a bright zigzag running most of its height, made to be seen rather than screened. The light sits at 1800K, the deep amber end of warm white, and it spreads all round rather than forwards, giving 500 lumens in total. It dims, given a compatible dimmer on the circuit. It is a lamp for looking at, so the fitting around it can be as plain as you like.
It belongs where the lamp stays on show: open pendants, cage frames, bare flex drops over a counter, wall lights hung without a shade. At 280mm long it reads as a column rather than a bulb, so a run of them along a bar, a bookcase or a stairwell looks intentional. We reach for one where a frosted lamp would look blank, and in rooms lit for mood in the evening rather than for reading or close work. Turned down, the amber goes candle-like, which suits dining rooms, snugs and quiet landings.
The tint runs the full length of the glass, so the gold is there whether the lamp is lit or not, and the screw cap drops into standard E27 holders without adaptors. Keep it clean by wiping the cooled glass with a dry lint-free cloth, holding the lamp by its cap so the tinted surface is not smeared; sprays and solvents should stay well away. A suitable dimmer is needed and none comes with the lamp. It carries a three year warranty. We would keep it out of recesses and closed shades where the filament cannot be seen, because repetition flatters it more than concealment ever will: a small cluster at staggered drops over a table, filaments turned the same way, and the zigzags line up into a pattern.

Frequently Asked
What size is this bulb?
It measures 280mm tall with a 30mm diameter tube, so it is long and narrow rather than bulbous.
How warm is the light?
It is rated 1800K, described as extra warm white. That is amber and candle-like, noticeably deeper than a standard 2700K warm white lamp.
Will it work on any dimmer?
It is dimmable but needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. No dimmer is supplied with the bulb.
How long is it rated to last?
Average life is quoted at 15,000 hours.
Is it bright enough to light a room on its own?
At 500 lumens spread in all directions it is best treated as decorative or atmospheric light. For a whole room, use several, or pair them with another light source.
How should I handle and clean it?
Hold it by the cap, never the glass, and wipe the cooled tube with a dry lint-free cloth. Avoid cleaning sprays, which can mark the gold tint.
