Description
This is a clear glass LED bulb in the classic GLS pear shape, with an E27 screw cap and four slim filaments that glow warm white at 3000K. It is 10.6cm long and 6cm across, close in size to the everyday household bulb, so it suits most shades and pendants made for an E27 cap. It draws 7.3W, gives 806lm and carries energy class E. The rating is IP20, and that settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry fitting.
What sets this bulb apart is its dusk-to-dawn sensor. Leave the light switch in the on position and the bulb lights itself as daylight fades, then goes out again at dawn, so a hallway, a landing or a front room by a window is never dark when you come home. It works best where daylight can reach it, so a pendant or lamp near a window is the natural home for it. We think it suits anyone who wants an evening light to keep its own routine without a timer plug, and because the glass is clear, the filaments become part of the look in a bare pendant or a glass shade.
The glass is clear rather than frosted, so nothing softens the light and the filaments read as fine golden lines when lit. It is not dimmable, so fit it where an ordinary on and off switch controls it rather than a dimmer, and it runs on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains supply. Packed, it weighs 0.077KG. Before you order, check that your shade or pendant takes an E27 screw cap and has room for a bulb 10.6cm long.

Frequently Asked
Will this bulb work on a dimmer switch?
No. This bulb is not dimmable, so we recommend fitting it in a lamp or pendant controlled by an ordinary on and off switch rather than a dimmer.
How does the dusk-to-dawn sensor work?
The sensor in the bulb lights it as daylight fades and puts it out again at dawn, provided the light switch itself is left in the on position.
