Description
A big-shouldered filament lamp with a bulged tubular profile, this one is meant to be looked at rather than tucked away inside a shade. The shape is tall and gently bulged, with a broad body drawing in towards the cap. The amber finish softens the filaments to a candle-like glow, and at 1800K the light sits at the very warm end of the scale, nearer firelight than daylight. It draws 8W, takes an E27 socket and dims with a compatible dimmer, so you can bring it down to a low ember in the evening.
At 18cm across it wants a little space around it, so we reach for it in open pendants, bare flex drops and cage fittings where the lamp itself is the point. Ceiling height helps, since the shape reads best when you can see the full length of it. It earns its keep over a bar, along a dining table, in a stairwell, or grouped at staggered heights above a kitchen island. It suits anyone after atmosphere rather than working light. We would put it on a trailing edge dimmer for the smoothest fade; a dimmer is not supplied here.
The amber tone carries across the whole envelope, so it reads warm even when the lamp is off, and the filaments are laid out to be seen from every side. Care asks little: let it cool, then lift the dust off with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping sprays and damp cloths well away. It carries a five year warranty. We keep it as a single amber option, and it mixes happily with plainer clear filament lamps if you want more than one tone in the same fitting. Worth ordering a spare if you are filling a cluster.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give out?
It produces 630 lumens, which is a soft, decorative level rather than task lighting. In a cluster of three or four, it is enough for a dining table or a bar counter.
How big is it?
The body measures 180mm in diameter and 395mm in overall height, so it needs a fitting with room around and below it.
Will it work on any dimmer?
It is dimmable, but a suitable dimmer is required and one is not included. A trailing edge dimmer rated for LED loads gives the most even control at low levels.
What does 1800K look like in a room?
Very warm and amber, close to candlelight. It is a good deal warmer than a standard warm white lamp, so expect a golden cast on walls and skin tones.
How long should it last?
Average rated life is 25,000 hours, and the E27 cap means it swaps straight into any standard screw fitting.
How should I clean it?
Switch off at the wall and let it cool, then use a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid cleaning sprays, which can mark the amber finish.
