Description
This is a tubular LED filament bulb in amber glass, 18.5cm long and 3cm across, with a standard E27 screw cap. Inside the slim glass tube, the LED filaments cross over one another in a row of X shapes, so the bulb is worth looking at even while it is unlit. It draws 4W and gives 350lm at 2200K, a very warm light that the amber glass deepens into a golden glow. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms only.
We think it suits pendants with a bare lampholder, open cage shades and wall lights where the bulb itself stays in view. Over a dining table, beside a reading chair or in a run of pendants above a kitchen island, the long, narrow shape reads well and the low colour temperature gives a soft, relaxed light rather than a bright working one. At 350lm it is a mood bulb: choose it for evenings and atmosphere, and pair it with brighter lighting where you need to read fine print or prepare food.
The glass is an amber tone, and the crossed filaments show clearly through it from every side. The bulb is not dimmable, so use it with a plain on and off switch rather than a dimmer. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz, which covers UK household mains, and carries energy class F. Packed, it weighs 0.082KG. To clean it, let the bulb cool fully, then wipe the glass with a soft, dry cloth; a clean tube gives the brightest result. Before you order, check that your lampholder takes an E27 screw cap and that the shade has room for a bulb 18.5cm long.

Frequently Asked
Which lampholder does this bulb need?
It has an E27 screw cap, the larger standard screw fitting, so it suits any lampholder made for E27 bulbs.
Can I use the bulb with a dimmer switch?
No. The bulb is not dimmable, so we recommend a plain on and off switch rather than a dimmer circuit.
How warm is the light?
It is 2200K, a very warm light, and the amber glass adds a golden tint, giving a soft glow rather than a bright, cool light.
How bright is this 4W bulb?
It gives 350lm from 4W, which is enough for a gentle, atmospheric light in a pendant or wall light, though not for task lighting.
Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoor use in dry rooms only, so keep it away from bathrooms, outdoor fittings and damp spaces.
How big is the bulb?
It is 18.5cm long and 3cm across, so check that your shade or lampholder has room for a slim tube of that length.
