Description
This is a candle-shaped LED with a clear body and a bayonet cap, made as a like-for-like answer to the old incandescent candle lamps. It draws 4W and gives 470 lumens of warm white light at 2700K, the softer, yellower end of white that flatters evening rooms. Light leaves it in all directions rather than as a beam, so it reads just as well pointing upwards in a multi-arm fitting as it does hanging down inside a shade. It dims too, as long as the circuit has a dimmer rated for LED loads.
We reach for this one where the lamp itself is part of the look: chandeliers and multi-arm ceiling fittings, wall lights with clear glazing, small pendants, and table lamps whose shades sit high enough to leave the lamp on show. The bayonet cap makes it useful in older British fittings that were never changed over to screw caps. If you are lighting a dining table or a sitting room and want the light low and warm rather than bright and brisk, this is the sort of lamp to fill the fitting with, and several of them on one dimmer give a good deal of control over how a room feels after dark.
The clear finish keeps the fitting looking light and lets the metalwork read properly instead of being masked behind a frosted white ball. It is slim and very light in the hand, which helps when you are reaching up over a table to change a lamp. It carries a three year warranty. To clean it, wait until it has cooled, then wipe it with a dry cloth and keep household sprays away from the cap. We would pair it with polished brass or antique brass fittings, where warm light and a clear lamp suit each other. A dimmer switch is not supplied.

Frequently Asked
What size is this bulb?
It measures 35mm across the widest part of the candle and 100mm from the tip to the base of the cap, so it fits the small shade carriers and narrow candle tubes used on most chandeliers.
Which cap does it have?
A B22 bayonet cap, the push-and-twist type common in older UK fittings.
Will it work on any dimmer?
It needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. Older dimmers designed for filament lamps can cause flicker or a limited dimming range. No dimmer is supplied with the bulb.
How bright is it?
It produces 470 lumens at 4W, in a warm white 2700K tone.
How long should it last?
Average life is rated at 15,000 hours.
Can I use it in an enclosed fitting?
It suits open and semi-open fittings best, where warm air can move away from the lamp. Fully sealed fittings shorten the life of any LED.
