Description
This is a candle lamp with a clear body, so the light source stays visible and the shape reads as a proper candle rather than a frosted blob. It draws just 2W and gives a warm white 2700K light, the soft yellow-leaning tone most people associate with a filament lamp at rest in the evening. Output is 250 lumens, which suits a fitting with several lamps working together rather than a single point asked to light a whole room. It is not dimmable, so it wants a plain switched circuit.
We reach for a clear candle where the lamp is on show: chandeliers, multi-arm ceiling fittings, wall lights with upward-facing candle tubes, hall lanterns and small table lamps under narrow shades. Clear glass gives sparkle through cut or faceted glass and a crisper shadow than an opal lamp, which is why it flatters older brass and crystal fittings. It suits anyone replacing a small incandescent candle and hoping to keep the same look while cutting the running cost, and the low draw makes it kind on chandeliers that carry a whole cluster of lamps at once.
The clear outer with the small Edison screw cap is a familiar combination, and the narrow neck lets it sit in tight glass shades and candle tubes without fouling the rim. It carries a three year warranty. Keep it clean and it keeps its sparkle: once the lamp has gone cold, take it out, wipe the glass with a dry cloth and put it back finger-tight, avoiding sprays and damp cloths near the cap. It is a lamp for dry rooms inside the house on a normal domestic supply. We would buy these in a full set rather than singly, so every arm on a fitting shows the same tone and the same brightness.

Frequently Asked
What size and shape is this lamp?
It is a C35 candle, 35mm across the widest part of the glass and 100mm tall including the cap, so it fits most candle tubes and small shades.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
No. This one is non-dimmable and should be run from a standard on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmed circuit can cause flicker or buzz and shorten its life.
How bright is it compared with an old filament candle?
At 250 lumens it sits in the range of a small traditional candle lamp of around 25W, while drawing only 2W.
Will the light look warm or white?
Warm. At 2700K it gives the soft, slightly golden light of a traditional candle lamp, not the cooler white of a daylight lamp.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life and carries a three year warranty.
How do I clean it?
Switch off at the wall, let it cool fully, then remove it and dust the glass with a dry cloth. Do not use sprays or wet cloths near the cap.
