Description
A slim tubular lamp on the standard screw cap, with a straight filament running the length of the tube behind an opal outer. The opal spreads the light so the filament reads as a soft even column rather than a hard bright line, and the tube is narrow enough at 45mm across to look deliberate in a fitting that leaves the lamp on show. The tone is a cool white, clean and slightly crisp, which keeps whites looking white and holds detail well.
We reach for this where a holder sits in plain view: an open pendant, a cluster of drops over an island, a shallow shade that hides very little, or a wall light with the lamp pointing upward. The 4000K tone suits kitchens, utility rooms, home offices and workshop corners where you want light that feels alert rather than mellow, and the opal keeps glare down when the lamp is at eye level. It dims on a compatible dimmer, so you can pull the level back in the evening once the work is done, though a suitable dimmer is needed and none comes with the lamp.
The opal casing is fitted to a brass-coloured screw cap and the whole thing is light in the hand, drawing only 4W in normal use. To clean it, turn the light off at the switch, give the lamp a few minutes to lose its warmth, then take the dust off with a dry duster or a barely damp cloth on the tube alone, keeping moisture away from the cap. Nothing abrasive is needed, and the opal will not mark if you are gentle with it. It carries a three year warranty. We would put it in a run of identical fittings rather than mixing tube shapes, since the straight filament looks best repeated along a bar or a stairwell where the eye can follow it.

Frequently Asked
What is the light output?
It gives 470 lumens, which is a soft, comfortable level suited to decorative fittings and multi-lamp arrangements rather than lighting a large room from a single point.
What are the dimensions?
The tube measures 45mm in diameter and 110mm in overall height, including the E27 screw cap.
Do I need a special dimmer?
Yes. It dims only on a dimmer rated for LED lamps of this type. No dimmer is supplied, and a standard older dimmer may flicker or buzz.
Will 4000K look too cold at home?
It is a neutral, daylight-leaning white rather than a warm yellow. It works well in kitchens, offices and utility spaces; for a cosier sitting room, a warmer tone is the better choice.
Can it be used base up or on its side?
Yes. The filament emits all round, so the lamp gives an even spread whichever way the holder points it.
How long should it last?
Its rated average life is 15,000 hours, and it carries a three year warranty.
