Description
The familiar pear-shaped GLS outline, made in a clear finish rather than opal, with a bayonet cap of the sort still fitted to most British pendants and table lamps. It draws 8W and puts out 806 lumens of warm white at 2700K, a soft and slightly golden tone much closer to the old household bulbs than to anything cool or blue. Light leaves the glass in every direction, so it reads much the same whether the holder points up, down or sideways.
Warmth of this kind suits sitting rooms, bedrooms, landings and hallways, and it is a sensible everyday choice for a pendant, a wall light or a bedside lamp where the light needs to be comfortable all evening rather than bright and businesslike. It is dimmable, but it wants a dimmer built for LED loads if it is to run smoothly and quietly, and a trailing edge type is usually the happiest match. We treat this as our standard warm white bayonet cap bulb, and it is the one we reach for when a customer is replacing tungsten in an existing fitting and wants the same colour of light back.
The clear glass is honest about dust and fingermarks in a way frosted glass is not, so let it cool and then run a dry cloth over it every so often to keep the output looking clean. Nothing damp, and no polish. It carries a five year warranty. Visually, the clear body earns its keep in open shades, glass lanterns and anywhere the bulb itself forms part of the look, while behind a fabric shade it simply gets on with the job. A suitable dimmer switch is a separate purchase.

Frequently Asked
What size is this bulb?
It measures 60mm across the widest part of the glass and 106mm in overall length, which is the standard A60 GLS size.
What cap does it have?
A B22 bayonet cap, the two-pin push-and-twist type used in most older British pendants, table lamps and wall lights.
Do I need a special dimmer?
Yes. It dims only on a dimmer rated for LED loads; a trailing edge model gives the smoothest result. No dimmer is supplied with the bulb.
How warm is 2700K?
It is warm white, the soft yellow-toned light most people associate with traditional incandescent bulbs. It sits well alongside existing tungsten lamps in the same room.
How long should it last?
It has an average rated life of 15,000 hours, and the product carries a five year warranty.
Will it light a whole room from a bare holder?
It emits all round rather than in a beam, so a single bulb in a central pendant spreads 806 lumens evenly across a small to medium room.
