Description
A small round LED lamp on an E27 screw cap, finished frosted so the light spreads softly instead of showing a bright point through clear glass. The colour is a warm white at 2700K, near the tone of the old filament bulbs most of us grew up with, and it draws 4W to give about 400 lumens. It dims, with a dimmer rated for low LED loads, and no dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
We keep bulbs like this for fittings where the lamp itself is part of the look: open pendant clusters, bare-flex hangings over a kitchen island, a small drum shade on a bedside table, or a wall light with the lamp visible below the shade. The frosted surface takes the glare out of it, which matters at eye level and beside a bed. Because the ball is compact rather than the taller pear shape, it sits neatly inside little shades and behind narrow glass without crowding them. Anyone changing over from old dimmable filament bulbs and wanting the same soft warmth with far less power will get on with it.
The shape follows the small round bulb people know from older ceiling roses and bedside lamps, with the frosted surface carrying right around the globe so the tone is even from every angle. Care is a matter of letting it cool, then wiping the globe with a dry lint-free cloth; polishes and solvents do it no favours. It carries a five year warranty. We stock this cap size across plenty of pendants and lamps in the shop, so if you are matching a set it is worth buying a spare at the same time to keep the warmth consistent as the years go by.

Frequently Asked
Will it dim on the dimmer I already have?
It is a dimmable lamp, but it needs a dimmer suitable for low LED loads. Older dimmers designed for filament lighting often flicker or refuse to start at the bottom of the range. No dimmer is included.
How big is the bulb?
It measures 45mm across the ball and 73mm in overall height, including the E27 cap, so it fits comfortably inside small shades and glass.
How much light does it give, and in what colour?
Around 400 lumens at 2700K warm white, from 4W. That is a gentle, cosy light rather than a bright working one.
What does the frosted finish do?
It diffuses the light across the whole globe, so you see an even glow rather than a hard bright spot. Useful wherever the lamp is exposed, such as an open pendant or a clear glass shade.
How long should it last?
Average life is rated at 15,000 hours, and it carries a five year warranty.
How should I clean it?
Switch off at the wall, let it cool, then wipe the globe with a dry lint-free cloth. Keep water, polishes and solvents away from the cap.
