Description
A small round bulb with a clear finish, the golf ball shape often used in cluster pendants and smaller shades. It draws 2W and gives a warm white light at 2700K, the softer end of white that flatters wood, brick and paint rather than cooling them. Output is 250 lumens, so this is a gentle, decorative bulb rather than a room filler. The cap is the standard larger screw type, E27, and it is not dimmable, so it belongs on a plain on-off switch.
We keep bulbs like this for fittings where the lamp itself is part of the look: multi-arm pendants, wall lights with clear or narrow shades, bedside lights and mirror lights. Several of them together do far more than one alone, which is why they sit so well in chandeliers and cluster fittings. It also works quietly in a hallway or landing lamp that stays on for long stretches, where warmth and a low running cost matter more than brightness. If you need one bulb to light a whole kitchen or a work desk, this is not the one, and we would point you to something with much more output.
The clear body keeps the light source on show, so a fitting reads as bright points rather than an even glow, which is worth thinking about if the bulb will sit near eye level. Keeping it clean is a matter of switching the light off, giving it a few minutes, then wiping the clear body with a dry lint-free cloth. Skip sprays and damp cloths, and dust the shade while you are there so the light is not working through a film. It carries a three year warranty. This is one of our everyday warm white bulbs, and we are glad to advise on matching the same tone across the other lamps in a room.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this on a dimmer switch?
No. It is a non-dimmable bulb, so it needs a standard on-off switch. On a dimmer circuit you may get flicker, buzz or a shortened life.
How big is it?
It measures 45mm across the ball and 78mm in overall length, including the E27 screw cap, so it fits shades and holders sized for a small classic bulb.
Is 250 lumens enough to light a room?
Not on its own. Think of it as accent or decorative light, or use several together in a multi-lamp fitting where the total output adds up.
What does 2700K look like in use?
It is a warm white with a soft golden cast, close to the familiar tone of an old incandescent bulb, and easy on the eye in living rooms and bedrooms.
How long is it rated to last?
The rated average life is 15,000 hours, and it carries a three year warranty.
Will it fit a lamp holder with a bayonet cap?
No. This one has an E27 screw cap, so the holder needs to be the larger screw type rather than a push-and-twist bayonet.
