Description
This is a smoked glass LED globe bulb with an E27 screw cap, 12cm long and 8cm in diameter. The round glass is vaporised to a black-transparent tint, so the spiral filament inside stands out clearly against a soft grey haze, and the screw cap is a warm gold colour. It draws 4W and gives 100lm at 2000K, a deep amber warm light, noticeably warmer than most everyday bulbs. With an IP20 rating it belongs indoors in dry rooms, away from steam and splashes.
Because this bulb is meant to be seen, it suits open pendants, bare cord sets and wall lights where the glass is on show: over a dining table, in a hallway, beside a reading chair or in a bedroom where a gentle glow matters more than brightness. At 100lm it is not suitable as a main light source, and we would rather say so plainly; think of it as the decorative layer in a room, the warm point of light that makes an evening feel settled while a ceiling light or lamps do the heavy lifting. The smoked glass also keeps the bulb looking considered even when it is unlit, so a pendant still looks finished during the day.
The bulb is dimmable, so on a suitable dimmer switch the glow can be taken lower still for a late supper or a film night. It runs on mains at 220 to 240V, 50/60Hz, and weighs 0.12KG packed. E27 is the wide screw-in cap rather than a bayonet, so before ordering, check that your lampholder takes E27 and that the shade or cage leaves room for a globe 8cm in diameter. Pair it with a brighter main light and let this one bring the warmth.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb light a whole room?
No. At 100lm it is not suitable as a main light source; it gives a warm decorative glow, so pair it with a brighter ceiling light or lamps.
Is the bulb dimmable?
Yes, it is dimmable, so on a suitable dimmer switch you can lower the 2000K glow for a softer, cosier evening light.
Which cap does the bulb have?
It has an E27 cap, the wide screw-in type rather than a bayonet, so check that your lampholder takes E27 before ordering.
How big is the globe?
The bulb is 12cm long and 8cm in diameter, so check that your shade or cage leaves enough room for the glass.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so keep it away from bathrooms, steam, splashes and outdoor fittings.
What colour is the light?
It gives a warm 2000K, a deep amber tone, and the black-transparent smoked glass adds a soft grey haze around the spiral filament.
