Description
This is the small round golf ball shape, frosted so the light spreads softly instead of showing a bright point at the centre. It draws 4W and gives a warm white light, on the honey side of neutral, which flatters older rooms and evening lighting. The frosting does much of the work here: it calms glare in fittings where the lamp sits in plain view, and it reads more quietly behind clear or lightly tinted glass. This one does not dim, so it belongs on a plain on and off switch.
We reach for it in chandeliers, small wall lights, bedside lamps and lantern fittings, anywhere the lampholder is E14 and the lamp itself should stay unobtrusive. At 45mm across, the ball slips inside narrow shades and candle sleeves without filling them. Light leaves it in all directions rather than one, so open shades and multi arm fittings are well served, each lamp taking its share of the work. It suits hallways, dining rooms and landings, and anyone swapping out a hot little candle lamp on a fitting that stays on all evening.
Output is 470 lumens, which places it with accent and mood lighting rather than the only source in a big room, though a multi arm fitting soon adds up. It carries a five year warranty. For cleaning, turn the fitting off at the switch and give the lamp time to cool, then wipe the frosted surface with a barely damp cloth and dry it before the power goes back on, since dust and kitchen grease dull the diffusion more than people expect. Where a fitting takes several lamps, we would order them all at once so the tone stays even from arm to arm.

Frequently Asked
Will it work with a dimmer switch?
No. This lamp is non-dimmable, so it should be run from a standard on and off switch. On a dimmer you risk flicker, buzz and a shortened life.
How big is it?
The ball measures 45mm in diameter and 78mm overall, which is the classic golf ball size for small shades and candle sleeves.
How warm is the light?
It is 2700K warm white, the softer yellow tone people associate with older tungsten lamps rather than a crisp white.
How much light does one give?
470 lumens each, with a rated average life of 15,000 hours. In a fitting holding several lamps the combined output is enough for general room light.
What lampholder does it need?
A small screw E14 lampholder, the size used in most chandeliers, bedside lamps and small wall lights.
How should I clean it?
Switch off, let it cool, then wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry fully. Avoid solvents, which can mark the frosted surface.
