Description
An oversized decorative lamp with a smoked finish, so what you see is a soft amber haze rather than a hard bright point. It draws only 4W and sits at 2100K, warmer than ordinary warm white and much closer to a candle or an old filament lamp turned down low. The fitting is the familiar large E27 screw cap, and it will dim when paired with a suitable dimmer. We would treat this as a lamp to look at rather than one to read by, and light the room properly with something else.
It earns its place where the lamp itself is on show: hanging bare on a flex over a dining table, in a cage pendant, in a cluster above an island, or in a table lamp left unshaded. Bars, snugs, hallways and bedrooms take it well, anywhere the point is atmosphere after dark rather than task light. It suits anyone layering light in a room, sitting alongside brighter downlights or a reading lamp that does the useful work. On a dimmer it fades back to almost nothing, which is how we would leave it late in the evening.
The globe is a full 15cm across, wide enough to hold its own on a long flex or in a group, and the smoked surface is the whole point of it, dulling the glow and hiding the workings when the light is off. Turn it off and let it cool before cleaning, then lift the dust with a dry cloth and keep sprays and solvents well away, since the finish is part of the look. It carries a three year warranty. We reach for lamps like this where the fitting is deliberately plain and the light source does all the decorating.

Frequently Asked
How big is it, and will it fit my pendant?
It measures 150mm in diameter and 225mm tall overall, including the cap, so allow generous clearance below any shade or ceiling fitting and check the drop before ordering.
How bright is it?
It gives 120 lumens from 4W, which is a decorative glow rather than useful light for reading or working. Pair it with other light sources in the room.
Does it need a special dimmer?
It is dimmable, but only with a dimmer suitable for LED lamps. No dimmer is supplied with it, and a trailing edge LED dimmer usually gives the smoothest fade.
What does 2100K look like in the room?
Much warmer than standard warm white: a deep amber, close to candlelight or a filament lamp on a low setting. It flatters wood, brass and dark paint colours.
How long should it last?
Average life is rated at 15,000 hours, and it carries a three year warranty.
Can I use it outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It is intended for dry indoor rooms only, and should be used in a fitting rated for the location.
