Description
This is the everyday rounded household bulb shape, made in clear glass so the light comes out unsoftened and the glass stays part of what you see. It draws 12W and gives 1521 lumens, a genuinely bright figure for a main room fitting, at a warm 3000K that sits on the gentle side of white without tipping over into yellow. Light leaves it in every direction, so it behaves well shining up into a shade and just as well hanging on its own.
It is dimmable, though it needs a compatible dimmer to hold a steady low level, and no dimmer comes with the bulb. We reach for this one where a single lamp has to do two jobs in a day: bright enough for reading, cooking or homework, then wound down and quiet in the evening. In a glass pendant or an open lantern the bulb is on show and the clear finish earns its keep. Out of sight in a table lamp or a fabric drum, the all round spread fills the shade evenly rather than pooling at the bottom.
The build is plain and sensible, a clear envelope on an E27 screw cap in the standard A60 body that most shades and lampholders are sized around. To clean it, switch off at the socket, let the glass go cold and wipe with a dry cloth; fingerprints show more readily on clear glass than on opal, so handle it by the cap. It carries a three year warranty. We keep it as our plain warm white workhorse and often suggest buying a few at once, since a house tends to share one cap size across hall, landing and living room fittings, and matching the colour of light across them makes more difference than people expect.

Frequently Asked
Does it work with any dimmer switch?
It needs a dimmer suitable for LED loads. Older dimmers designed for filament bulbs can buzz or flicker, and the low end of the range may be limited. No dimmer is included with the bulb.
What size is it?
It measures 60mm across the widest part of the glass and 106mm tall overall, the standard A60 size, so it suits shades and fittings made for a normal household bulb.
How bright is it, and how warm is the light?
1521 lumens from 12W, at 3000K warm white. That is a comfortable main light for a living room, kitchen or bedroom rather than a dim accent.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours of use.
Will the light look yellow?
No. 3000K is warm but clean, warmer than daylight lamps and softer than cool white, and it flatters wood, brick and painted walls.
Can I use it in an enclosed fitting?
Follow the guidance for your fitting. Any LED lasts better with air around it, so fully sealed shades are best avoided where you can.
