Description
A big, softly glowing decorative bulb in an amber finish, this one is meant to be seen rather than hidden behind a shade. The rounded classic shape measures 16cm across, so it reads as a light in its own right on a bare flex. The tone is very warm at 2100K, nearer candlelight than ordinary warm white, and the amber finish pushes it warmer still. It draws only 4W from an E27 lampholder, and the glow spreads all round rather than throwing a beam. We sell it as a decorative lamp first and a source of brightness second.
We would use it where the lamp is on show: a row of plain flex drops over a dining table or kitchen island, an open cage fitting in a snug, a bare holder in a hallway, or a wall light that leaves the lamp visible. Think of it as atmosphere rather than working light, so pair it with table lamps or downlights where reading and chopping happen. It dims with a compatible dimmer, which lets you take the glow right down of an evening; a dimmer is not supplied.
The amber finish is even across the outer surface and colours the light as much as it colours the bulb. Care takes moments: switch off, wait until the bulb is cool to the touch, then wipe the amber surface with a clean dry cloth, leaving sprays and solvents alone. Fingerprints show on any lamp hung at eye level, so give it a pass whenever you dust the fitting. We would order more than one, since amber lamps look their best repeated along a run of pendants or clustered at slightly different heights, and this one has the size to carry that kind of arrangement. It carries a three year warranty.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it?
It gives 200 lumens, which is a low, glowing output chosen for mood rather than for lighting a whole room. Keep task lighting elsewhere and let this one set the tone.
How big is the bulb overall?
It is 160mm in diameter and 275mm tall including the E27 cap, so allow generous clearance under a pendant or shade ring.
Will it work on my dimmer?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer rated for LED loads. No dimmer is included, and an older filament type may cause buzzing or flicker.
What does 2100K look like?
Very warm and slightly orange, close to candle or old street lamp light. Combined with the amber finish it gives a noticeably richer glow than a standard 2700K warm white lamp.
How long should it last?
Average rated life is 15,000 hours, and colour rendering is above 80, so skin tones and timber still look natural under it.
Can I use it in a table lamp?
Yes, provided the lampholder is E27 and the shade or base gives room for a 160mm globe with air around it.
