Description
The familiar round-shouldered pear shape, the one that has sat under household shades for generations, made here as an LED on the standard screw fitting. It draws 6.5W and gives back 806 lumens, so it stands in for a traditional filament lamp of the sort most homes ran for years. The colour is warm white at 2700K, the soft yellow-leaning light that suits evenings and living rooms rather than close task work. It is not dimmable, so put it on a plain switch and leave the dimming to other lamps in the house.
It is the standard width, so it disappears into pendants, table lamps, bedside lamps and hallway fittings without pushing at the shade or peeping below the rim. We sell more of this shape than any other lamp on our shelves, and it is the first thing we hand over when someone arrives with a dead bulb and no idea what went in it. It suits anyone wanting running costs down and light quality unchanged: landings, spare rooms, reading lamps, the corner lamp that goes on late in the afternoon.
The finish is frosted rather than clear, which softens the light source and keeps glare down in open shades and bare fittings where a clear lamp would show its diodes. Cleaning is best done cold: switch off at the lamp, let it cool, then run a dry cloth over the frosting to lift dust, keeping water and sprays well away from the base. It carries a five year warranty. If you want an exposed filament on show, this is not the lamp for it: this one is meant to be diffused and unnoticed, doing its work behind linen, glass or paper and leaving the fitting to be the interesting part.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it compared with an old filament bulb?
It gives 806 lumens, which is the sort of output people expect from a 60W incandescent lamp, for 6.5W of power.
Can I use it with a dimmer switch?
No. It is a non-dimmable lamp and should be run from an ordinary on/off switch. On a dimmer circuit you may get flicker, buzz or a shortened life.
What size is it, and will it fit inside a small shade?
It measures 60mm in diameter and 106mm in height, the standard GLS size, so it fits anywhere a conventional household bulb once sat.
What sort of light colour does it give?
Warm white at 2700K, close to the tone of an old tungsten lamp. It is a good match for existing warm white lamps in the same room.
Which fittings does it suit?
Anything taking an E27 large screw cap and an A60 pear-shaped lamp, including most pendants, table lamps and standard lamps.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of use.
