Description
A slim clear glass tube on an E27 cap, made to be looked at rather than tucked away behind a shade. It runs at 6W and gives a neutral white at 4000K, cooler and cleaner than the warm yellow of a traditional lamp, so worktops, paperwork and mirrors read true under it. The clear glass leaves the workings on view along the length of the tube. It dims on a compatible dimmer, which is bought separately.
We keep tubular lamps for the fittings that show the lamp off: an open pendant over a kitchen island, a cluster of cord sets above a dining table, a caged wall light, or a mirror flanked by bare holders. At 280mm the tube has real presence inside a tall glass shade, and its slender width slips into narrow openings where a round globe would sit awkwardly. It suits anyone after a brighter, more modern light in a period-looking fitting, and anyone who likes the levels dialled back in the evening.
Glass and metal do the work: a clear tube with a standard screw cap, sized for fittings where the lamp is part of the design. Keep it clean by switching off at the wall, letting the glass go cold, then running a dry lint-free cloth down the tube; hold the cap rather than the glass when fitting or removing it, and leave sprays and polishes out of it. It carries a three year warranty. We stock it in clear glass, and it is the one we reach for when a fitting has nothing to hide the lamp behind. Run them in a row along a set of hanging cords and you get the line of light without the bulk of a shade.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give out?
Around 500 lumens, spread all round the tube with a 360 degree output, so it lights an open fitting evenly rather than throwing light in one direction.
What size is the tube?
It measures 280mm from cap to tip with a 30mm diameter, which keeps it slender enough for narrow shade openings.
Will it work on my dimmer?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer rated for LED loads. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp, so check that your existing one is suitable for low wattage LEDs.
Is the light warm or cool in tone?
It is 4000K, a neutral white with a slight coolness to it. Colour rendering is 80, so colours stay natural without the yellow cast of a warmer lamp.
How long is it rated to last?
Average rated life is 15,000 hours, which suits fittings that are switched on for long stretches such as hallways and landings.
Can I mix it with warmer lamps in the same room?
We would keep to one colour temperature within a single fitting or a run of pendants, as the difference between neutral and warm white shows clearly side by side.
