Description
An oversized amber globe, made to be looked at rather than tucked away inside a shade. The colour is amber right through, so even switched off it reads as a warm brown-gold against a white ceiling. At 2100K the light is extra warm, nearer to candle glow than to ordinary warm white, and it draws only 4W. It dims, provided the circuit has a dimmer suited to LED, which lets you drop it to a low evening level.
We reach for a lamp like this where the flex hangs bare over an island, a dining table or a stairwell, and in open cage fittings and wide shades where the bulb is half of what you see. At roughly 30cm tall it takes up room, so let it hang clear of heads and worktops. It suits snugs, bars, hallways and bedrooms, and anywhere the mood matters more than sheer brightness. Since the output is gentle, we would run several together, or pair it with task lighting where you actually need to see.
This is a decorative LED lamp with an E27 base, so it goes into standard screw lampholders with no adaptor. Cleaning: switch the light off, wait for it to cool, then wipe with a dry lint-free cloth; dust dulls an amber finish faster than you would expect, and nothing wet or abrasive should come near it. It carries a three year warranty. Styling is easy from here. Paired with a plain black or brass pendant the amber does all the talking, while a row of them above a counter or along a beam gives a soft line of light. A matching dimmer is bought separately.

Frequently Asked
How wide is it?
The globe measures 150mm across and 300mm from base to top, so it needs a good deal more clearance than a standard household lamp.
How much light does it give?
Around 200 lumens. It is a mood lamp rather than a working one, so plan on lamps or downlights elsewhere in the room if you need proper task light.
Will it work on my existing dimmer?
It is dimmable, but the dimmer must be one rated for LED loads. Older resistive dimmers built for filament lamps can cause flicker or buzz.
What does 2100K look like in the room?
Deeper and more golden than typical warm white. Combined with the amber colouring it gives a candlelit cast, which flatters brick, timber and dark paint.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life, and it carries a three year warranty.
Can I use it outdoors?
No. Keep it to dry, sheltered indoor spots on a normal mains circuit; a covered porch light or garden fitting needs a lamp built for damp conditions.
