Description
The shape here is the familiar household pear, the one that suits almost any shade without argument, and the cap is a bayonet. Light output is 806 lumens from 8W, in a warm white 2700K that reads soft and slightly golden rather than cold. The envelope is clear, so the light passes through unfiltered and the fitting behind it stays on show. It is not dimmable, so it wants a plain switch rather than a trailing edge dimmer or a smart controller.
We reach for a lamp like this when a house needs bulbs by the box: table lamps in a sitting room, a hall pendant, bedside lights, a landing fitting that gets switched on and off many times a day. The warm tone is the one most people want in the evening, and it sits comfortably alongside brass, bronze and painted finishes. Because the envelope is clear, it is worth thinking about where the lamp will be seen; under a linen shade it disappears, in an open fitting it is part of the look. Bayonet caps are still common in British homes, so this is the one to ask for when a fitting will not take a screw lamp.
The cap is a B22 bayonet, and the clear body keeps the classic outline rather than the stubby profile some LED lamps take. Keep it clean by switching off, letting it cool, then wiping with a dry cloth; dust settles visibly on a clear lamp and quietly takes a little brightness away. It runs on ordinary household mains, and we would use it anywhere indoors that a standard bayonet lamp is called for. It carries a five year warranty. If you are lamping a whole room, we would keep the tone consistent and use the same warm white throughout so nothing looks mismatched from fitting to fitting.

Frequently Asked
What size is this lamp?
It is the standard A60 classic shape, 60mm across the widest point of the envelope and 106mm tall overall, so it fits shades and holders sized for a traditional household bulb.
Can I use it with a dimmer switch?
No. It is non-dimmable and should be run from a plain on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmed circuit can cause flicker, buzz or early failure.
How bright is it in old money?
At 806 lumens it is the usual replacement level for a 60W incandescent lamp, while drawing only 8W.
How long is it rated to last?
It has an average rated life of 15,000 hours, and it carries a five year warranty.
Will I see the workings through the clear finish?
Yes, the envelope is clear rather than opal, so the inside of the lamp is visible. In open fittings that is part of the appeal; behind a fabric shade it makes no difference.
Which holder does it need?
A B22 bayonet cap holder, the two pin push and turn type common in UK ceiling fittings and table lamps.
