Description
This is a slim tubular LED bulb in clear glass, 18.5cm long and 3cm in diameter, with an E27 screw cap. Through the clear glass you can see the LED filaments, set in a crossed pattern that runs most of the length of the tube, so the bulb itself becomes part of the look of the light. It draws 4W and gives 470lm of warm white light at 2700K. The IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry room.
We would choose it for a pendant with a bare lamp holder, or any open fitting where the bulb stays in view, because a clear tube is meant to be seen. The warm 2700K gives a soft, golden glow that sits well in a bedroom, a living room or a hallway in the evening. At 470lm it makes a gentle light, so it is a good match for a bedside pendant or a row of pendants over a dining table rather than the only light in a large room. Its slim 3cm width suits a narrow shade where a rounder bulb would look crowded; just check that the shade is deep enough for its 18.5cm length.
The bulb is not dimmable, so use it with a standard on and off switch rather than a dimmer switch. It runs from 220-240V, 50/60Hz, the standard household mains supply, and carries an energy class of D. Packed, it weighs 0.081KG. To keep the filaments looking crisp, switch off the light, let the glass cool, then wipe it with a soft, dry cloth whenever dust settles. Because it fits any E27 holder, it is also a simple way to give an existing pendant a new look without changing the fitting.
