Description
The classic candle shape, drawn to a soft tip, in a clear finish that lets the light through without frosting it. It draws 5.5W and puts out around 600 lumens, a useful swap for an older low wattage candle lamp, and the colour is a neutral 4000K that keeps whites looking clean. Light leaves it all round rather than in a beam, so it reads well tip up in a chandelier and just as well under a shade. It is dimmable, provided the circuit has a dimmer suited to LED loads; no dimmer comes with it.
We fit small cap lamps like this in chandeliers, multi-arm ceiling fittings, wall lights and smaller table lamps, and it is the one we reach for when the lamp is on show and a fat frosted body would look wrong. The cooler white suits kitchens, home offices, utility rooms and stair landings, anywhere the light wants to feel crisp rather than golden. It also works behind the clear panels of a hall lantern, where a lamp with a proper tip looks intended. If you want a softer evening glow in a living room, we would point you to a warm white instead.
The clear body and the E14 screw cap follow the usual candle lamp sizes, so it goes into fittings built for that shape without fuss, and the slim profile stays tidy inside narrow shades. For cleaning, let it go cold first, then run a dry cloth down the body; dust shows on a clear lamp far more than on an opal one, so it is worth a wipe whenever you dust the fitting. It carries a three year warranty. We would buy a full set at once for a multi-lamp fitting, since matched lamps always look better than a mixed handful.

Frequently Asked
What size is this lamp?
It measures 35mm across the widest part of the body and 121mm from the base of the cap to the tip, so roughly 12cm overall.
Do I need a particular dimmer?
Yes. It dims on a dimmer designed for LED loads; older dimmers made for filament lamps can flicker or buzz. A dimmer is not supplied with the lamp.
Is 4000K a warm light?
No, it is a neutral cool white, cleaner and slightly bluer than a warm white. At 600 lumens it gives a bright, crisp light rather than a cosy one.
How long is it rated to last?
It has an average rated life of 15,000 hours.
Will it be bright enough in a fitting that used 40W candle lamps?
In most cases yes. At 5.5W it produces 600 lumens, which is comparable with a traditional 40W candle lamp, though the colour is cooler.
Does it throw light in one direction only?
No, it emits over a full 360 degrees, so it suits open chandeliers and clear glass lanterns where the whole lamp is visible.
