Description
This is a small round lamp with a clear finish, the golf ball shape that has lit chandeliers and little shades for decades. It measures 45mm across at its widest point and sits on a small screw cap. Light spreads all round rather than in one direction, and the tone is a warm white close to what an old filament lamp gave. Drawing 6.5W for 806 lumens, it stands in for a traditional small lamp without asking much of the meter.
We reach for these where the lamp is on show: open chandelier arms, clear or ribbed shades, wall lights with a candle tube, and bedside lamps that take the smaller screw cap. Because the finish is clear, the light source stays visible, which is what makes cut glass and crystal fittings do their work. It is not dimmable, so we would put it on a plain on-off switch; if the room runs from a dimmer, ask us for a dimming version instead. We keep it on the shelf with the rest of our small-cap lamps, and it is the one we hand over most often for chandeliers.
Ours arrive in the same familiar outline as the incandescent balls they replace, so they drop into existing fittings without changing the look of a shade. The clear finish does show dust and fingermarks sooner than an opal one, so we switch off at the wall, let the lamp go cold and then wipe it over with a dry lint-free cloth; nothing wet, and no polish. It carries a three year warranty. If you are refitting a chandelier or a set of wall lights, we would buy the full quantity at once so every arm ages at the same rate and the warmth matches across the fitting.

Frequently Asked
What colour is the light?
Warm white at 2700K, the softer yellow-toned light most people associate with older household lamps. Total output is 806 lumens.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. This one is non-dimmable and should be run from a standard on-off switch. Ask us if you need a dimmable small-cap lamp instead.
What are the dimensions?
The ball is 45mm in diameter and the lamp is 78mm tall overall, including the E14 screw cap.
How long is it rated to last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours of average life, and it carries a three year warranty.
Will it fit a fitting marked SES?
Yes. SES is the small Edison screw cap, the same as E14, so this lamp screws straight in.
Does it throw light in all directions?
Yes, output is spread all round rather than aimed forwards, which is why it works well in open shades and multi-arm fittings.
