Description
Small, round and clear, this is an LED lamp on an E27 screw cap, sized to sit neatly inside shades and shallow fittings where a full size bulb looks bulky. It draws 4W and gives 470 lumens of warm white light at 2700K, the soft, slightly yellow tone most people want in a living room or bedroom. It dims, but it needs a dimmer rated for LED loads, and no dimmer is supplied with it.
We keep this one for fittings where the bulb is part of what you see: open glass pendants, cluster fittings over a dining table, bare-lamp wall lights and small bedside lamps. The output is modest on its own, so it works best in pairs and groups, or where a shade sits close enough to make the most of it. It is a sensible swap for an older golf ball incandescent, keeping the same familiar shape while drawing far less power. On a dimmer it takes the room down to something quieter after dark, which is why we suggest it for snugs, hallways and bedrooms rather than a kitchen worktop.
The clear envelope keeps the ball outline crisp and lets the light spread all the way round rather than throwing it forward. Dust shows more readily on a clear bulb than on an opal one, so give it a wipe with a dry cloth now and then, once the power is off and the bulb is cold to the touch. Nothing else is needed. It carries a five year warranty. If a fitting holds several lamps, order them as a set so the warm tone stays even across the whole group.

Frequently Asked
What size is this bulb?
It is a golf ball shape, 45mm across and 73mm tall overall, including the E27 screw cap.
Will it work with my dimmer?
It is dimmable, but only on a dimmer suited to low wattage LED loads. At 4W a single lamp sits near the bottom of many dimmers' working range, so a fitting with several lamps on one circuit usually dims more smoothly than one lamp on its own. No dimmer is included.
How bright is it, and what does the light look like?
It puts out 470 lumens at 2700K, a warm white that reads soft and yellow-leaning. That is broadly in line with a traditional 40W golf ball lamp.
How long is it rated to last?
Average life is 15,000 hours.
Does it throw light in all directions?
Yes, it emits right around the lamp rather than in a forward beam, so it suits open and clear shades where the bulb is visible from several angles.
