Description
A small round lamp in the golf ball shape, fitted with the little screw cap that so many chandeliers, wall lights and bedside fittings take. The opal white body spreads the light rather than letting it come off as a hard point, which counts when the lamp sits in open view under a clear shade or behind glass. It draws 2W for a modest 200 lumens, so it is a lamp for atmosphere and for fittings with several lampholders working together, not for lighting a room single handed. The tone is a clean neutral white at 4000K, crisper than a warm yellow.
We reach for these where a fitting carries a cluster of lamps and the overall output needs to stay gentle: a multi-arm chandelier over a dining table, a pair of wall lights either side of a mirror, a small shaded lamp on a landing or in a hallway. The cooler white suits kitchens, utility spaces and workrooms, anywhere you want the light to read as fresh rather than cosy. It is not dimmable, so pair it with a standard on and off switch or a pull cord and leave dimmer circuits to a lamp made for them.
The body is opal white and the cap is polished chrome, a neat combination in fittings where the lamp is part of the look. Keep a cloth away from it while it is warm, and give it nothing more than a light dust once it has cooled and the power is off; there is no coating to rub away. It carries a five year warranty. We keep a few in the drawer as spares, since one dud lamp in a chandelier is far more obvious than a dim one, and matching the colour tone across every arm is what keeps the fitting looking right.

Frequently Asked
What size is this lamp?
It measures 45mm across the ball and 74mm tall overall, including the cap, which is the standard golf ball size for most small shades and chandelier arms.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. This one is non-dimmable and should be run from an ordinary switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit may cause flicker, buzzing or early failure.
Is 4000K warm or cool?
It is a neutral, cool white with a clean look, brighter in character than the 2700K warm white often used in living rooms. It works well in kitchens and task areas.
How bright is it compared with an old filament lamp?
At 200 lumens it sits in the same territory as a small decorative filament lamp of around 25W, so it suits multi-lamp fittings and accent lighting rather than lighting a whole room alone.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life, and it carries a five year warranty.
What cap does it need?
An E14 small screw lampholder, the type used in most chandeliers, small wall lights and table lamps.
