Description
This is a pygmy bulb: a short, stubby lamp on an E14 small screw cap, the size reached for when a full sized bulb will not physically fit. It draws 15W and gives 60 lumens, which is a soft pool of light rather than lighting for a whole room. The glass is clear, so the coiled filament sits in plain view and throws a bright point of light through cut glass or a pierced shade. The pack puts the colour at 2,800 Kelvins, a warm white with real yellow in it, closer to candlelight than to daylight. Each blister holds two bulbs.
The pack calls it an appliance bulb, and that is the work it is shaped for: compact fittings where a larger envelope would catch on the housing or the door. Before you order, take a look at the bulb you are replacing. Cap size, wattage and any heat rating are decided by the appliance rather than by the bulb, so the manual or the old glass is the thing to trust. If a salt lamp, plug-in night light or small ornament of yours takes a small screw cap and has the depth for a pygmy, this is the same fitting and the same modest output. Having two in the pack means the spare can live next to the thing it serves.
A filament dims smoothly by its nature, with no minimum step and no colour shift, and this lamp is listed as dimmable, so a rotary dimmer will take it down to a glow. The energy label rates it G and puts consumption at 15kWh per 1,000 hours; no LED equivalence is printed anywhere on the pack, and we do not offer one. The pack prints a one year lamp life. Each blister holds two bulbs, with a minimum order of 20 blisters in multiples of 20.

Frequently Asked
Which fittings take an E14 cap?
E14 is the small screw cap, often written SES, with a 14mm thread. If the bulb you are replacing twists in and the metal measures around 14mm across, this one matches.
Will it suit my appliance?
Check the appliance manual or the bulb you are taking out first. Cap, wattage and any high temperature rating are set by the appliance, and no temperature rating is printed on this pack.
How bright is 60 lumens?
Low. Sixty lumens is a soft glow rather than usable room lighting, the level you want inside a small enclosure, behind coloured glass or in an ornament.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Yes. This lamp is listed as dimmable, and a filament dims evenly right down to a low glow on an ordinary mains dimmer without stepping.
Is an IP rating given for this bulb?
No. The manufacturer states no IP rating, so we cannot tell you how it stands up to moisture or dust. Treat it as a lamp for ordinary dry indoor fittings.
How many bulbs do I receive?
Each blister pack holds two bulbs. The listing carries a minimum order of 20 packs in multiples of 20, so a first order brings 40 bulbs.
