Description
Gold-tinted glass in the familiar round GLS shape, the sort of bulb most people picture when they think of a light bulb. The tint does the work here: at 2200K the light sits well below ordinary warm white, closer to candlelight or an old filament lamp, and the gold glass softens the LED behind it so the bulb reads as amber rather than bright. It draws only 4W, and it is not dimmable, so we would wire it to a plain switch and let the colour set the mood.
This is a bulb for fittings where the glass is on show. It suits open pendants over a dining table, a cluster of flexes above a kitchen island, cage and bell shades, and bare-holder fittings on a landing or in a bedroom. Because the output is gentle and the colour very warm, we treat it as atmosphere rather than task light: good on a low evening scheme, less so above a worktop where you are chopping. Anything with an E27 holder will take it, so it is an easy swap for an older amber bulb in a lamp you already own.
The body is glass in a gold finish with a standard E27 cap, and the round profile sits neatly inside a shade without crowding it. Dust it with a dry cloth now and then, switched off and cool, and keep water away from the cap. It carries a five year warranty. We like several of these used together at staggered drops, or one alongside clear glass elsewhere in the same room; the amber tone flatters brass, copper and dark timber especially well.

Frequently Asked
What size is this bulb?
It is a standard A60 shape, 60mm across the widest part of the glass and 106mm tall including the cap, so it drops into most pendants and table lamps sized for a normal GLS bulb.
How bright is it?
It produces 330 lumens from 4W. That is a soft, low level of light, so it is best used for mood and for fittings where the bulb itself is part of the look rather than as a main working light.
Can it be dimmed?
No. It is a non-dimmable bulb and should be used on a standard on/off switch. Putting it on a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or shorten its life.
How warm is the light at 2200K?
Very warm indeed. It is a deep amber, warmer than the 2700K of a typical warm white bulb, and close to candle or old filament light. The gold glass reinforces that tone.
How long does it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of use and carries a five year warranty.
How should I clean it?
Switch off, let it cool, then wipe the glass with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, solvents and any moisture near the cap.
