Description
A slim tubular lamp in clear glass, with a straight filament running the length of the tube so the light source itself stays on view. It draws 4W and gives 470 lumens of warm white at 2700K, a soft golden tone that sits close to the old filament lamps it takes its cue from. Light comes off it in every direction, which suits fittings that leave the glass uncovered. It is dimmable on a dimmer rated for LED loads, and no dimmer is supplied with it.
We reach for tubular lamps like this whenever a fitting puts the bulb on show: bare flex pendants, cage shades, lantern wall lights, and table lamps with narrow open shades where a rounded globe would look bulky. The E27 screw cap makes it a straight swap for most older screw fit lamps, so it is an easy way to bring an existing pendant onto a lower load without changing the look of the room. The warm tone flatters dining rooms, snugs and bedrooms, and it is easy to sit near because the output is gentle rather than glaring. It is meant for dry rooms indoors, on the usual household mains.
The body is glass throughout, clear rather than frosted, so the filament stays crisp and the shape of the tube reads clearly against a shade. Keep it clean and it keeps its sparkle: turn the power off, let the glass cool, then run a dry lint free cloth down the tube and leave the cap alone. It carries a three year warranty. Where several hang together, we would stagger the drops and let the filaments sit at different heights. Used on its own in a wall light it does just as well, and because the glass is clear the tube itself does the decorative work.

Frequently Asked
How big is it?
The tube measures 45mm across and 110mm tall, so it stays neat inside a small shade while still showing the filament.
Will it work with my existing dimmer?
It dims, but it needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. Older dimmers made for filament lamps can flicker or buzz, and no dimmer is included.
How bright is it, and what colour is the light?
470 lumens at 2700K warm white, spread all round the tube. That is a soft, golden light rather than a crisp white one.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life and carries a three year warranty.
How do I clean it without marking the glass?
Switch off, let it cool, then wipe the glass with a dry lint free cloth. Keep moisture and cleaning sprays away from the cap and the contacts.
Which fittings does it suit best?
Any E27 screw fitting that leaves the lamp visible: open pendants, cage and lantern shades, and table lamps with slim shades.
