Description
This is a small ball lamp with an E14 screw cap and a clear body, so the light source stays on view rather than sitting behind opal. It draws 4W and gives 470 lumens of warm white light, which puts it in the same brightness bracket as a modest older filament lamp. The outline is the familiar golf ball shape rather than a taper or a globe. Light spreads all round, so it holds up in fittings that leave the lamp on show, and it dims provided the circuit has a dimmer intended for LED loads.
We reach for this one in chandeliers, small wall lights and bedside lamps, anywhere the lampholder is the smaller screw size and the lamp sits in plain sight. At 45mm across it stays neat inside a compact shade or a candle sleeve, and the warm tone suits sitting rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where a cooler white would feel stark. If you are running several on one dimmer, we would keep them all to the same type so they track together. A dimmer is not included.
The finish is clear throughout, with no coating or frosting to soften the output, and the cap is the standard small screw size used across most decorative fittings. For cleaning, switch off at the wall, give it a few minutes to lose its heat, then wipe with a dry cloth; keep water and solvents well away from the cap. It carries a three year warranty. We keep it as one of our plain everyday lamps rather than a decorative filament piece, and it is a sensible swap where you want dimming from a fitting that has been running non-dimmable bulbs. Buy a spare or two if you are filling a multi-arm fitting.

Frequently Asked
Will it work with any dimmer switch?
It needs a dimmer suitable for LED loads. Older switches designed for filament lamps often cause flicker or a limited dimming range. A dimmer is not supplied with the lamp.
How bright is it, and what colour is the light?
It produces 470 lumens at 4W, in a 3000K warm white that reads soft and yellow-toned rather than crisp.
What are the dimensions?
The ball measures 45mm in diameter and 73mm in overall height, including the cap.
Which lampholder does it fit?
It has an E14 small screw cap, the size most commonly found in chandeliers, small wall lights and table lamps.
How long should it last?
It has a rated average life of 15,000 hours, and it carries a three year warranty.
How should I clean it?
Switch off, allow the lamp to cool, then dust with a dry cloth. Avoid damp cloths, sprays and any solvent near the metal cap.
