Description
This is a small round lamp in the classic golf ball shape, with an opal white body and a polished chrome cap at the E27 screw fitting. It draws 2W and gives a soft warm white light at 3000K, closer to the tone of an old filament lamp than to daylight. Output is modest at 180 lumens, so think of it as a gentle glow rather than a working light. The opal finish spreads the light evenly and softens the LED behind it. It is not dimmable, so pair it with a plain switch.
We stock it for fittings that show their lamps: small pendants, bedside lights, wall lights with open glass, and multi-arm fittings where several lamps share the work between them. It suits anyone swapping a tired set of golf ball lamps in one go, since the running cost across a whole fitting stays low. On a landing or in a hallway it gives enough light to move about by without glare at eye level, and in a bedside light it settles a room rather than waking it. Keep it to dry indoor fittings; a porch lantern or a shower room asks for something sealed instead.
The opal white diffuser is closed to a polished chrome collar and an E27 screw cap, a neat band of bright metal at the base. Cleaning asks little: switch the fitting off, give the lamp a moment to lose its heat, then take dust off the opal surface with a dry cloth, holding it by the body rather than the chrome. Sprays and damp cloths are best kept away from the cap. It carries a five year warranty, and its white face sits quietly in clear glass fittings where the lamp is part of the look.

Frequently Asked
What size is this lamp?
It measures 45mm across the ball and 74mm in overall height, the usual small golf ball size, so it clears tight shades and narrow glass.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. It is non-dimmable and should be run from an ordinary on/off switch. On a dimmer circuit you are likely to see flicker or buzz.
How bright is it, and what colour is the light?
It gives 180 lumens at 3000K warm white, a soft glow best used where a fitting holds more than one lamp or where you want low-level light.
How long should it last?
Average life is rated at 15,000 hours.
Will it fit a standard screw lampholder?
Yes. The cap is E27, the larger of the two screw sizes, so it goes straight into any standard E27 holder.
How should I clean it?
Turn the light off and let the lamp cool, then wipe the opal surface with a dry cloth. Avoid cleaning sprays and damp cloths near the chrome cap.
