Description
A tapered tube with a drawn tip, finished with a smoked tint that takes the edge off a bare lamp. It draws 6.5W and gives 710 lumens, so it stands in for something far thirstier in an open fitting where the bulb itself is part of the look. The colour is 4000K cool white, a crisp neutral light rather than a warm yellow, and it spreads all round rather than pushing in one direction. It dims too, provided the circuit already has a dimmer suited to LED.
We would put this in pendants, cage fittings and multi-lamp clusters where the bulb is on full view and clear glass would be uncomfortable to look at directly. The cool white suits kitchens, home offices, utility rooms and a workshop corner, anywhere you want light that reads clean against white paint and steel rather than cosy. It is one we reach for when a customer likes the rustic tube shape but wants the light calmed down a little, and it is equally at home in a wall light with an upward facing open shade.
The smoked finish runs evenly over the envelope, and the E27 cap screws into any standard holder. To clean it, switch off at the wall, let it cool completely, then go over it with a dry microfibre cloth; solvents and scouring creams will mar the tint, so keep them well away. It carries a three year warranty. Worth knowing before you buy: switched off, it sits dark and quiet in the fitting, which pairs well with brass, black or aged metalwork and less well with pale ceramic. Switched on, the tint keeps glare down without robbing the room of usable light, which is why we tend to suggest it over a clear lamp in anything hung at eye level.

Frequently Asked
Will it work with my existing dimmer?
It is dimmable, but only on a dimmer designed for LED loads. No dimmer is supplied with the bulb, and an older resistive dimmer intended for filament lamps may cause flicker or limit the dimming range.
What size is it?
The tube measures 64mm across at its widest point and 140mm tall overall, including the E27 screw cap, so check the depth of any shade before ordering.
How bright is it, and is 4000K warm or cool?
It produces 710 lumens at 4000K, a neutral cool white. That is a clean, daylight-leaning light rather than the amber tone of a traditional filament lamp.
Does the smoked finish reduce the light output?
The quoted 710 lumens is the figure through the finished bulb, so the tint is already accounted for. Its job is to soften the view of the light source when the bulb is on show.
How long is it rated to last?
It has a rated average life of 15,000 hours. Frequent switching and running it hard against the top of a dimmer's range will shorten that in practice.
Can I use it outdoors?
No. It is intended for dry indoor fittings on a normal household supply, so keep it out of exposed porches, garden lights and anywhere it may be rained on.
