Description
A small round lamp in the golf ball shape, clear glass with an E14 screw cap. The light is a crisp 6000K daylight white, cooler and cleaner than the warm yellow most sitting rooms run on, and it draws 4W to give 470 lumens. Clear glass keeps that light bright and unsoftened, so it suits fittings where the lamp itself will be on show. It dims as well, provided the circuit has a dimmer made for LED loads.
We reach for a daylight lamp like this where the job is seeing clearly: a desk lamp over paperwork, a mirror light, a task lamp in a kitchen or utility room, a lamp above a workbench. It also does well in fittings that take several small screw cap lamps, where one crisp note repeated across a chandelier or a multi arm wall light reads deliberate rather than accidental. Paired with a compatible dimmer you can bring the level down in the evening without losing the cool cast, which suits anyone wanting one lamp to cover both close work and general light.
It is glass and moulded plastic, clear rather than frosted, and it carries a three year warranty. For cleaning, turn the power off and let the glass go completely cold, then wipe with a dry lint free cloth; clear lamps show fingerprints and dust far sooner than opal ones, so an occasional wipe keeps the output honest. Intended for ordinary indoor household lighting circuits. We keep this one for customers swapping out small halogen golf ball lamps who want the same neat size without the heat, and it looks best in fittings with clear or lightly tinted glass that let the lamp read as part of the design. No dimmer is supplied with it.

Frequently Asked
Will it work with any dimmer switch?
It needs a dimmer designed for LED loads, and trailing edge types generally give the smoothest result. A dimmer is not included, and older dimmers built for filament lamps may flicker or buzz.
How bright is 4W in practice?
It produces 470 lumens, which is roughly what you would expect from a traditional 40W golf ball lamp, and the light is spread through a full 360 degrees rather than pushed in one direction.
What does 6000K actually look like?
A clean daylight white with a slight blue edge to it. It is noticeably cooler and sharper than the 2700K warm white used in most living rooms, so it favours task areas over relaxing spaces.
Will it fit inside a small clip on shade?
The glass is 45mm across and the lamp measures 73mm overall including the cap, so it sits comfortably in most small shades and enclosed candle style fittings.
How long should it last?
It is rated for fifteen thousand hours of average life and comes with a three year warranty.
