Description
Smoked glass turns a bare bulb into part of the fitting rather than something to hide. This one is a large round globe on an E27 screw cap, the glass tinted a soft grey so the light source is veiled and the glare taken out of it. At 4W it is deliberately low in output, closer to a candle glow than a reading light, and the 2100K colour sits warmer than ordinary warm white, with a clear amber cast. It dims too, provided the circuit has a dimmer suited to LED loads.
We reach for bulbs like this where the lamp is on show: a cluster of pendants over a dining table, a run of drop flexes above a kitchen island, a bare holder on a wall bracket, or a shade wide enough for the glass to sit proud of it. It suits anyone after atmosphere rather than brightness, so keep a harder-working light nearby if the room also has to earn its keep. In a snug, a bar area or a stairwell, it does the job of a lit ornament.
The globe is 16cm across, so leave room for it in narrow shades and where it sits close to a wall. It is meant for indoor fittings on ordinary mains voltage. Wipe the glass now and then with a dry lint-free cloth, having switched off and given it a moment first; the smoke tone is in the glass itself, not sprayed over the surface, so it will not rub away. It carries a three year warranty. We would use two or three together at staggered drops, since one on its own reads as a quiet accent rather than a feature.

Frequently Asked
Will it work on my existing dimmer?
Only with a dimmer rated for LED loads. Older trailing-edge units built for filament bulbs can flicker or buzz at a 4W load, so check the dimmer's minimum wattage. No dimmer is supplied with the bulb.
How much light does it actually give?
120 lumens at 2100K, which is an extra warm amber glow. Treat it as decorative or mood lighting rather than a main source for a room.
What are the exact dimensions?
160mm in diameter with an overall height of 275mm, including the cap. Measure your shade or holder before ordering if space is tight.
Which holder does it fit?
A standard E27 large screw holder, the common size used on most pendants and floor lamps.
How do I clean the smoked glass?
Switch off at the wall, let it cool, then wipe with a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, as they can dull the finish.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life and carries a three year warranty.
