Description
A small round LED lamp on the E14 screw cap, with a clear envelope rather than a frosted one, so the light it throws is bright and lively. It draws 4W and gives around 400 lumens, a fair swap for the little filament lamps it stands in for. The colour is warm white at 2700K, which keeps a soft yellow cast to the light rather than anything cold or blue. Output spreads right around the lamp, so it reads the same whether it sits pointing up, down or sideways in a fitting.
This is the shape and cap that suits most chandeliers, small wall lights, bedside lamps and compact pendants, and the clear finish earns its keep in any fitting where the lamp itself is on show behind glass or under an open shade. We would pick it over a frosted version wherever a little sparkle from a visible lamp is part of the look, and go frosted only where a bare lamp sits right at eye level. It dims on a compatible LED dimmer, though no dimmer comes with it, so do check the one on your wall is rated for LED loads.
The build is a slim cap and neck under a rounded clear top, and it weighs next to nothing in the hand. Marks and fingerprints show up more on a clear lamp than a frosted one, so handle it by the cap once it is cool and switched off, and give the envelope an occasional pass with a dry cloth to keep the light looking clean. It carries a five year warranty. For chandeliers and mirror lights we tend to keep a couple of spares in the cupboard, since a run of matched lamps always looks better than one odd tone among the rest.

Frequently Asked
Will it dim on my existing dimmer switch?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. No dimmer is supplied, so check the rating of the switch already fitted before ordering.
What size is it?
It measures 45mm across the round top and 73mm in overall height, which is the usual golf ball size for small shades and chandelier arms.
How bright is it, and what sort of white?
It puts out 400 lumens on 4W, at 2700K warm white, so the light stays soft and yellowish rather than crisp or blue.
How long is it rated to last?
The rated average life is 15,000 hours, and the lamp carries a five year warranty.
Is the clear finish a problem in an open fitting?
In an open fitting you will see the light source itself, which many people want in a chandelier or glass shade. If the lamp sits at eye height and glare bothers you, a frosted lamp is the kinder choice.
Does it fit a standard small screw cap?
Yes, it takes the E14 small Edison screw cap used in most chandeliers, small wall lights and table lamps.
