Description
This is a small round lamp in the golf ball shape, clear bodied, so the light leaves it in every direction rather than being pushed forward. It draws 4W and gives 470 lumens, roughly the pool of light you would expect from a modest traditional candle lamp, and the colour sits at a warm 2700K, on the softer, yellower side of white. It is not dimmable, so it wants a plain on and off switch.
We reach for this size where a fitting has several lamps on show: multi-arm chandeliers, wall lights with small clear shades, bedside lamps and mirror lights. A clear lamp suits fittings where the bulb is meant to be seen, and the all round output means it works facing up, down or sideways without leaving a dark side. On a landing it gives enough to move about by, and a few together in one fitting build to a comfortable level for reading. Because it is non-dimmable, we would keep it off circuits already running through a dimmer.
The clear body is plain and untinted, with an E14 cap at the base, and it is light enough to sit in a delicate shade carrier or on a slim chandelier arm without strain. It carries a five year warranty. To clean it, turn the fitting off, let it cool, then run a dry cloth over the body; a clear lamp shows dust and fingermarks far sooner than an opal one, so the odd wipe keeps the light looking crisp. We keep this among our plain everyday lamps rather than the decorative ones, and it is the one we hand over when someone brings in a small pendant or a multi-arm fitting and wants the light, not the lamp, to do the talking.

Frequently Asked
How big is it?
It measures 45mm across the ball and 78mm in overall height, which is the standard small golf ball size used in chandeliers and compact shades.
How bright is it, and how warm is the light?
It produces 470 lumens from 4W at 2700K warm white, so the tone is soft and yellowish rather than crisp or blue.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
No. It is a non-dimmable lamp, so it should be used with a standard switch. Fitted to a dimmed circuit it may flicker, buzz or fail early.
Will it fit my chandelier?
If the fitting takes an E14 small screw cap and has room for a 45mm ball, yes. Measure the shade opening if the lamp sits inside glassware.
How long should it last?
It has an average rated life of 15,000 hours and comes with a five year warranty.
Does the clear body need any special cleaning?
No, only care. With the power off and the lamp cool, wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid sprays and damp cloths near the cap.
