Description
A slim candle bulb with a clear finish and an E27 screw cap, made for fittings where the lamp is seen as much as the light it gives. Clear rather than opal means a crisper sparkle through cut shades and open arms, and the warm white tone at 2700K stays on the soft, yellowy side rather than looking cold. It runs at 4W and is not dimmable, so it belongs on a plain switch rather than a dimmer plate. There is no colour cast to work around, so it mixes happily with other warm white lamps in the same room.
We would use these in chandeliers and multi-arm fittings, in small wall lights, and in table lamps where the cap and neck of the bulb are on show. They suit hallways, dining rooms and bedrooms, anywhere you want a gentle, familiar light rather than something bright and clinical. The narrow body helps where several lamps sit close together on short arms and a wider globe would crowd its neighbours. We keep it as an everyday replacement, and it is the one we hand over when someone is putting an old chandelier back into service with a matched set.
Kept clean, the clear finish does its job, so let it cool before handling and run a dry cloth over the body; dust and fingerprints show far more on a clear lamp than on a frosted one. Keep sprays and solvents away from the cap. It carries a five year warranty. Where a fitting holds several lamps, we would change them all together rather than one at a time, so brightness and tone stay even across the arms. Mismatched candle bulbs are the quickest way to make a good chandelier look tired.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give?
It puts out 400 lumens, which is the sort of output people expect from a traditional small candle lamp, and it spreads in all directions rather than throwing a narrow beam.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. This one is non-dimmable, so it should be run from a standard on-off switch. Wired to a dimmer it may flicker, buzz or fail early.
What size is it?
It measures 35mm across the body and 100mm in overall height, which keeps it tidy in fittings with several closely spaced arms.
Which holder does it fit?
It has an E27 screw cap, the larger of the two common screw sizes, so it goes into any standard E27 lampholder.
How warm is the light?
It is rated 2700K warm white, a soft, slightly golden tone that sits comfortably alongside older filament-style lamps.
How long should it last?
It is rated for around 15,000 hours of use, so in a hallway or dining room fitting it should run for years before needing swapping.
