Description
This is a tall, slim tube of gold-tinted glass on an E27 screw cap, made to be seen rather than hidden away inside a shade. At 280mm it stands well clear of a lampholder, drawing a vertical line of light that reads as a soft amber glow rather than a hard bright point, with light given off all round the tube. The colour is a gentle 1800K, the warmest end of warm white and much closer to candlelight than to an ordinary household lamp. It draws 6W and is dimmable, though a compatible dimmer is needed to take it down smoothly.
We reach for lamps like this where the bulb itself does the decorating: open pendants, bare flex drops hung in a row, cage fittings and clear glass shades where the top of the lamp sits in plain view. The narrow tube suits close-set clusters that a round globe would crowd, and the amber cast flatters brick, timber and dark paintwork. It works nicely over a kitchen island, along a bar, in a hallway or beside a bed, where light is wanted for atmosphere more than for close work. Anyone after the low, glowing look of old tungsten lighting will get on with it.
The body is glass carrying the gold tint through it, finished with a standard screw cap. Wipe the glass only when the lamp is switched off and cool, using a soft dry cloth and holding the cap rather than gripping the tube; skip anything abrasive and any sprays, both of which can mark the tint. It carries a three year warranty. The LED sits inside the glass and is not a separate part, so there is nothing to change within the lamp itself. Paired with a plain flex and a small ceiling rose it gives a quiet line of light, and repeated at staggered heights above a long table it becomes the main feature of the room.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it?
It gives 500 lumens at 6W, which is a soft, decorative level of light rather than a main working light for a room.
What size is the tube?
It measures 30mm across and 280mm tall, so allow for the length when choosing a pendant or holder.
Is a dimmer included?
No. The lamp is dimmable but a suitable LED dimmer is required, and that is bought separately.
What does 1800K look like in the room?
Deep amber, warmer than a typical 2700K lamp and close to candlelight. It suits evening rooms and looks best on show behind clear glass.
How long should it last?
It is rated at an average life of 15,000 hours.
Will it fit an E14 holder?
No. It has an E27 screw cap, so it needs an E27 lampholder or an approved adaptor.
