Description
A slim clear glass tube on an E27 cap, standing 185mm tall and narrow in the body, so it looks deliberate wherever the lamp itself is on show. The glass is left plain and untinted, which means the light source inside is visible and part of the effect. The output is a cool white at 4000K, clean and neutral rather than warm, and it draws only 4W. It dims, provided the circuit runs through a dimmer suited to LED lamps.
We reach for this one in open pendants, cage fittings and bare-holder wall lights, anywhere a shade would hide the lamp and spoil the point of it. The upright form suits a row of pendants over an island, a hallway fitting at eye level, or a workshop and utility space where a crisper light helps you see what you are doing. Because the light spreads all the way round the tube rather than throwing forwards, it works as well hanging low as it does upright in a table lamp. If you want the lamp to sit at a lower level in the evening, choose the dimmer switch with LED compatibility in mind; no dimmer comes with the lamp.
Construction is glass over a threaded metal cap, light in the hand and simple to handle. To clean, isolate the light at the switch, wait until the glass is cool to touch, then wipe with a dry lint-free cloth and refit; nothing wet and no cleaning sprays near the cap. It is intended for ordinary indoor fittings on a standard household circuit. It carries a three year warranty. We keep clear tubular lamps like this for customers who have chosen a fitting with no shade at all, where the lamp has to hold its own visually as well as light the room.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give out?
It produces 300 lumens from 4 watts, spread through a full 360 degrees around the tube rather than directed one way.
What size is it?
The tube measures 30mm in diameter and 185mm in overall height, on a standard E27 screw cap.
Will it work with my existing dimmer?
It is a dimmable lamp, but it needs a dimmer designed for LED loads. Older dimmers built for filament lamps may flicker or buzz, or refuse to dim smoothly at the low end.
Is 4000K too cool for a living room?
It is a neutral white, brighter and crisper than a warm yellow. Most people prefer it in kitchens, utility rooms, workshops and hallways, and choose something warmer for sitting rooms and bedrooms.
Can I use it in a shaded fitting?
You can, though the clear glass and the shape are made to be seen. In a closed shade you lose the look and gain nothing.
