Description
This is a smoked LED vintage bulb with a spiral filament that coils up the centre of a tapered glass body, wider at the crown and narrowing to a brass-coloured E27 screw cap. It is 14.2cm long and 6.4cm across, a size worth checking against an open shade or a bare pendant before you order. It draws 4W and gives 100lm at 2000K, a very warm, golden white. The rating is IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors and somewhere dry.
Because the glass is tinted and the output is low, we would not ask it to light a room on its own, and its specification says the same: it is not suitable as a main light source. Where it earns its place is on show, in a bare pendant over a dining table, a cluster above a kitchen island, a wall light in a hallway or a table lamp with an open frame in a living room or bedroom. Switched off, the smoked glass reads as a dark, glossy object; lit, the coil glows gold through the tint. It suits anyone after the look of an old-style filament bulb with an LED source inside.
The bulb is dimmable, so on a suitable dimmer you can bring it down further for a low glow late in the evening. It runs on 220 to 240V mains at 50/60Hz and fits a lamp holder that takes an E27 screw cap. The glass carries a vaporised smoked finish, and packed it weighs just 0.068KG. A practical note: check that your fitting takes an E27 cap and stays indoors, since IP20 is not for damp rooms or the garden.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb light a whole room?
No. Its specification says it is not suitable as a main light source, so pair it with other lighting and use it where the bulb itself is on show.
Is the smoked bulb dimmable?
Yes, it is dimmable, so on a suitable dimmer switch it can be turned down for a softer, lower glow in the evening.
What size is the bulb?
It is 14.2cm long and 6.4cm across, so check that your shade or open frame has room for it before ordering.
Which cap does it have?
It has a brass-coloured E27 screw cap, so it fits a lamp holder that takes a standard E27 screw bulb.
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, damp spaces and the garden.
How warm is the light?
It gives 100lm at 2000K from 4W, a very warm golden white that suits a low, relaxed light rather than bright task lighting.
