Description
Big, round and completely clear, this is a globe lamp made to be looked at rather than hidden. The E27 screw cap fits the usual pendant and lamp holders, the shape is a full sphere, and the draw is a modest 4W. The globe is large enough to read as a shape in the room, not just a source of light. Light comes out warm white at 2700K, the softer end of the scale. It is not dimmable, so it wants a plain on-off switch rather than a dimmer plate.
We keep these for pendants where the shade is open or absent and the lamp is part of the look: a bare drop over a kitchen island, a run down a stairwell, a cluster in a hallway. The clear finish sends light all round rather than in one direction, so it works where you want a gentle glow across a whole room instead of a pool on the floor. It suits anyone after warmth in a living room, a bedroom or a dining space; where you need crisp task light for reading, we would choose something cooler and brighter.
The clear finish leaves the light unfiltered, with no coating or tint to soften it, so dust shows sooner here than on an opal lamp. Switch off at the wall, let it go cold, then wipe with a dry lint-free cloth; nothing wet, and keep sprays away from the cap. It carries a five year warranty. We stock warm white here because it flatters plaster and timber, and it is the tone most of our customers ask for. Set in a matt black or brass holder it looks deliberate, and a small group at staggered heights reads better than one alone.

Frequently Asked
How bright is this lamp?
It produces 470 lumens, a soft level of output suited to ambient lighting rather than task work. Because the globe emits in all directions, that light spreads evenly around the room.
Can I use it with a dimmer?
No. It is a non-dimmable lamp, so it should be run from a standard on-off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or shorten its life.
How large is the globe?
It measures 125mm in diameter with an overall height of 170mm, including the E27 cap, and weighs just over 100 grams.
What does the light look like?
It is 2700K warm white, a mellow yellow-toned light close in colour to an old incandescent lamp, which is why it sits well in living rooms and bedrooms.
How long should it last?
The rated average life is 15,000 hours, and it carries a five year warranty.
Does the clear finish cause glare?
Uncovered, the light source is visible, so it is best used where the lamp hangs above eye level or behind a diffusing shade if you are sensitive to brightness.
