Description
A large opal globe on an E27 cap, this one is meant to be seen rather than tucked away behind a shade. The white finish spreads the light across the whole surface, so what you get is a soft, even glow rather than a hard bright point, and the globe reads as a pale ball of light even when the room is dark. It draws 4W and gives a warm 2700K colour, close to the tone of an old filament lamp, and it dims where the circuit has a dimmer suited to LED.
We reach for a bulb like this wherever the lamp itself is on show: a bare cord set over a kitchen island, a run of drops above a long dining table, a stairwell cluster, or an open frame fitting where a shade would only crowd the shape. At 15cm across it has enough presence to hold its own in a tall room, and the diffused surface keeps glare down at eye level, which makes it kind in sitting rooms, bedrooms and hallways used mostly after dark. It suits anyone who wants the light source to be part of the look rather than something to hide.
The opal outer is smooth and unbroken, white the whole way round, with a neat cap beneath it and no visible hardware to break the curve. To clean it, turn the light off, wait until it is cold to the touch, then go over the surface with a dry lint-free cloth; skip sprays and damp cloths, as they can leave marks on the finish. It carries a three year warranty. Sold singly, though it is worth ordering matched sets where several hang together, since one odd globe in a line of pendants is spotted straight away.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give out?
It produces 320 lumens at 2700K warm white, which is a gentle, atmospheric level rather than a task light. For brighter rooms, use several together or pair it with other fittings.
Do I need a special dimmer?
Yes. It dims only on a dimmer designed for LED loads, and a dimmer is not supplied with the bulb. An older dimmer intended for filament lamps may flicker or buzz.
How big is the globe?
It measures 150mm in diameter and 200mm overall including the cap, so allow for that when checking the drop of an open pendant or the reach of a cord set.
What cap does it take?
A standard E27 screw cap, the larger of the two common screw fittings.
How long should it last?
It is rated at an average life of 15,000 hours, and carries a three year warranty.
Can I use it outdoors?
No. Keep it to dry rooms inside the house, in fittings rated for indoor use.
