Description
This is a clear glass LED bulb in the classic GLS shape, the rounded pear form most people picture whenever they think of a light bulb. Inside the glass, four slim LED filaments run upright between two fine wire supports, so the bulb keeps the look of a traditional filament lamp while drawing just 8.5W. It has an E27 cap, the large screw cap found on many pendants, table lamps and floor lamps, and it runs on mains voltage, so it goes straight into an ordinary E27 lampholder.
Because the glass is clear, the filaments become part of the look, which makes this bulb a good choice for open shades, glass pendants and bare-bulb fittings where it stays on view. The colour temperature is 2700K, a warm white that sits comfortably in living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms and gives a soft, homely glow through the evening. It is dimmable too, so in a fitting on a dimmer switch you can lower it for a quiet night and raise it again for reading or cooking. We think it suits anyone who wants an LED bulb without giving up the familiar shape and glow of a filament lamp.
The bulb carries an energy class of E and draws 8.5W, a modest figure for a light you use every day. The four filaments sit upright on a fine glass stem inside the clear glass, and the E27 cap is a silver-coloured screw base. Before you buy, check that your lampholder takes an E27 cap and that the shade suits the rounded GLS shape. In a multi-arm fitting, using this same bulb in every lampholder keeps the warm white even from one light to the next.
