Description
A small round lamp in the golf ball shape, sized to sit neatly inside a shade rather than press against it, with a clear finish and an E27 screw fitting. It draws 4W and gives a warm white light at 2700K, the gentler end of white and the one most people picture in a home. Output is 470 lumens, which is plenty for a bedside lamp or a shaded pendant. It is not dimmable, so pair it with a plain on-off switch.
We reach for it where the lamp is part seen: bedside table lamps, small pendants over a hallway table, wall lights with narrow shades, and multi-arm fittings where several lamps share the work. Light spreads all the way round, so a shade fills evenly instead of catching a bright patch at the top. It suits anyone swapping out a tired incandescent ball lamp and wanting the same familiar warmth for far less on the meter. This is the everyday warm white round lamp we keep to hand, and the one we offer when a customer brings an old lamp in to match.
The clear finish leaves the light source on show, so it reads as a bright point behind a smooth surface rather than a soft glow; where that is not wanted, a lined shade or a diffuser softens it. Dust shows on clear lamps sooner than on opal ones, so give it a wipe with a dry cloth now and again, once the light has been off long enough to go cool. Keep it to dry rooms indoors on a normal household supply. It carries a five year warranty. Used in multiples across an open cluster or a multi-arm pendant, it looks considered rather than merely practical.

Frequently Asked
How big is the lamp?
It is 45mm across the ball and 78mm tall overall, so it clears most small shades and narrow glass shades without touching.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. This one is non-dimmable and should be run from a standard on-off switch or a smart switch that does not attempt to dim.
How bright is it, and how warm?
It gives 470 lumens at 4W, in warm white at 2700K, which is comfortable for evening light in a living room or bedroom.
Does it light in all directions?
Yes, the spread is a full 360 degrees, so it fills a shade evenly and works well in fittings where the lamp points upwards or sideways.
How long is it rated to last?
The average rated life is 15,000 hours, and it carries a five year warranty.
Will it suit a chandelier or a multi-arm fitting?
It will, provided the fitting takes E27 screw lamps. The small ball shape keeps the look tidy where several lamps sit close together.
