Description
This is a vintage-style LED in amber glass, drawn out into a tapered tip at the crown so the outline reads more like a candle flame than a plain globe. The light it gives is low and honeyed, spread all round rather than pushed forward in a beam. It draws 2W and gives around 250 lumens, so it is a bulb chosen to be looked at as much as to light by. It has an E27 screw cap and is not dimmable, so it wants a plain switched circuit.
We reach for this one where the bulb itself is on show: open cage pendants, bare-flex clusters over a kitchen island, glass-shaded wall lights, and the long drops people hang down a stairwell. The amber tint softens the glare, which makes it kind in a bar, a snug or a dining room where you want the mood settled rather than the room flooded. It suits anyone after a period look without the heat and running cost of an old filament bulb. Where a room needs strong, even light for reading or close work, we would put brightness elsewhere and keep this for atmosphere.
The body is glass throughout, tinted amber, finished with a standard screw cap. Keep it simple when cleaning: switch off, let the bulb cool in the hand, then run a dry cloth over the glass and the cap, keeping sprays and damp away from the contacts. It carries a three year warranty. Because the shape is slim and tall rather than round and bulky, it sits happily in narrow shades and smaller fittings where a fat globe would look crowded, and a matt black or brass holder shows the amber tone off well. We sell it singly, so you can top up a cluster one bulb at a time.

Frequently Asked
What size is the bulb?
It measures 64mm across the widest part of the glass and 143mm from the tip to the base of the cap, the classic ST64 tapered-tip shape.
Can I use it with a dimmer?
No. It is a non-dimmable bulb, so it should be run from an ordinary on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or buzz and may shorten its life.
How bright is it?
It gives around 250 lumens, which is a decorative level of light rather than a working one. In a cluster of three or more, or alongside other lighting, it reads beautifully.
What is the light colour like?
A deep, amber-toned warm glow, noticeably warmer and more golden than a standard warm white bulb, thanks to the tinted glass.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours of use, and it carries a three year warranty.
