Description
This is a standard GLS lamp in the familiar household shape, with a clear envelope and an E27 screw cap. It draws 4W and gives 470 lumens of warm white light at 2700K, the softer and yellower end of white, and the tone most people expect from a lamp in a living room or a bedroom. Light leaves it in every direction rather than as a beam, so it fills a shade evenly and lifts a ceiling as well as a table top.
We reach for these as the everyday screw cap lamp: table and floor lamps, pendant shades, hall fittings and the odd bedside light. Because the finish is clear, the outline of the lamp shows through an open or loosely gathered shade, so it works where the bulb is meant to be seen as well as where it sits out of sight. It is not dimmable, so pair it with a plain on and off switch. Where you want to bring the level down of an evening, we would fit a dimmable lamp instead and keep this one for the fittings that only ever go full on.
The clear finish is unfrosted, which keeps the shape crisp and the light unfiltered. Handling is simple: switch off at the wall, give it a moment to cool, then grip the cap rather than the envelope when you fit or remove it, and use a dry cloth if dust dulls the surface. Keep water and sprays away from the cap altogether. It carries a five year warranty. We stock it as a household staple rather than a decorative piece, and it is the one we hand over when someone arrives with an old shade and wants something ordinary, warm and cheap to run to put in it.

Frequently Asked
What size is it?
It is the classic A60 shape, 60mm across the widest point of the envelope and 106mm tall overall, so it fits the same spaces an old 60mm household bulb occupied.
Will it work on a dimmer switch?
No. This one is non-dimmable and should be run from a standard switch. Put it on a dimmer and you risk flicker, buzz and a shortened life.
How bright is 4W?
It produces 470 lumens, which suits bedside lamps, hall fittings and shaded table lamps. For a main pendant in a larger room you may want a higher output lamp.
Is 2700K warm or cool?
Warm. At 2700K the light is soft and slightly yellow, close to the tone of the old incandescent bulbs, and it flatters wood, brick and painted plaster.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life, which is several years of ordinary evening use in a lamp that is switched on for a few hours a day.
Does it fit a bayonet lampholder?
No. It has an E27 large screw cap. For a bayonet fitting you need a B22 lamp instead, or a converter.
