Description
This is the familiar rounded household bulb shape, finished clear rather than opal, so the light source stays on show inside a shade instead of hiding behind frosting. It draws 6.5W and returns 806 lumens of warm white at 3000K, which sits on the softer side of neutral and suits paint, timber and evening rooms. It is not dimmable, so it wants an ordinary on-off switch rather than a trailing-edge dimmer. The screw cap is E27, the size most British pendants, wall lights and table lamps take.
We stock it as an everyday replacement bulb, and it is the one we would put in a hallway pendant, a landing fitting or a pair of bedside lamps where the light needs to be friendly rather than bright and white. Because the envelope is clear, it throws a little sparkle through cut or ribbed shades and looks at home in open-frame and cage fittings, where an opal bulb can look blank. It is equally happy buried in a fabric drum, where nobody sees it at all. Keep one or two in the cupboard and a failed lamp stops being an errand.
A compact bulb, small enough to sit inside a modest shade without crowding it, and rated for plenty of hours before it needs thinking about again. Care is nothing more than a wipe with a dry cloth once it has cooled, since dust and fingerprints show on a clear bulb far more readily than on a frosted one; keep sprays and polishes off the cap. It carries a three year warranty. If you like visible bulbs, we would run these along a line of plain pendants and let the bulb do the decorating.

Frequently Asked
How big is it?
It measures 60mm across the widest part of the glass and 106mm from the tip to the base of the cap, which is the same footprint as a traditional household bulb.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. This one is non-dimmable and should be run from a standard switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker, buzz or early failure.
What old bulb does it replace?
At 806 lumens it gives light comparable to a 60W incandescent bulb, but on 6.5W.
Is the light warm or cool?
Warm. It runs at 3000K, a warm white with a soft, slightly golden cast rather than the crisp look of a cooler bulb.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life and carries a three year warranty.
Will it look right in a fitting where the bulb is on view?
Yes. The clear finish is meant to be seen, so it works well in cage, lantern and open-frame fittings as well as behind glass or fabric shades.
