Description
A clear candle lamp with the small screw fitting, made to sit where the lamp itself is on show. It draws 4W and gives back 470 lumens, so it stands in for a small traditional candle bulb without the heat or the running cost. The colour is a warm white at 2700K, the softer end of the scale, and light leaves it in all directions rather than in a single cone. It is not dimmable, so it wants a plain on-off switch.
This is the shape chandeliers, candelabra fittings and multi-arm wall lights are built around, and it suits table lamps with small shades just as well, along with shallow pendants where a longer lamp would show below the rim. We reach for it in hallways, on landings and over dining tables, anywhere several lamps share the work and each one has to look right on its own. The warm tone flatters wood, brass and painted plaster, and holds up well in a room lit mainly in the evening. We keep it as an everyday choice rather than something saved for one special fitting.
The clear finish leaves the candle outline and the taper of the tip in view, which is the point of it in an open fitting; if you would rather the light source disappeared, an opal lamp is the better answer. To clean it, switch off, let it cool in the fitting, then wipe the body with a dry cloth; nothing wet, and no polish. It carries a five year warranty. Where a fitting takes several, we would change them all together so the tone stays even across the arms.

Frequently Asked
What size is it?
The body measures 35mm across and 10cm tall, which is the usual candle format for chandeliers and small shades.
Will it work on a dimmer?
No. It is a non-dimmable lamp, so pair it with a standard switch. On a dimmer circuit you may get flicker or buzz.
How warm is the light?
2700K, a warm white close to the colour of an old incandescent candle bulb. It is a comfortable tone for evening rooms.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life, so in a hallway or dining fitting it should run for years before needing changing.
Does the clear glass show the light source?
Yes. Clear lamps put the shape and the glow on view, which is what you want in an open or glass-shaded fitting. Choose opal if you prefer a softer, more diffuse look.
Is it bright enough for a single lamp fitting?
At 470 lumens it suits multi-arm fittings and table lamps used for background light. For a room's only light source, use a fitting that takes several.
