Description
The familiar pear shape of the classic household bulb, in a clear finish so the light comes through sharp rather than softened by a frosted envelope. It draws 6.5W and puts out 806 lumens, bright enough to stand in for a traditional incandescent, and the colour is warm white at 2700K: soft, faintly golden, easy on the eye in the evening. It is dimmable, though it needs a dimmer switch suited to LED loads to run smoothly; no dimmer comes with it.
We use this as our standard warm white screw-cap bulb wherever the bulb itself sits in view: table and floor lamps, a pendant on a long flex above a kitchen table, glass or crystal fittings where a clear bulb throws a little sparkle across the glass. It suits anyone swapping old screw-cap bulbs one at a time and wanting the same look and the same warmth back, with far less on the meter. Light comes off it all round rather than in a beam, so it fills a shade evenly instead of pooling.
The cap is the standard large screw type, E27, and the body keeps to the usual GLS proportions that lampholders and shade rings were built around, so it drops into older fittings without fuss. Keep it clean and it keeps its output: turn the lamp off, give it a moment, then lift the dust away with a dry cloth and keep sprays and damp cloths well clear of the cap. It carries a five year warranty. We think of it as a plain workhorse rather than a decorative bulb, and it earns its place in fittings where the shade or the glass does the decorating and the bulb only has to be the right colour.

Frequently Asked
Will it work on my existing dimmer?
It dims, but it needs a dimmer designed for LED loads. Older dimmers built for filament bulbs can cause flicker, buzz or a limited dimming range. No dimmer is supplied with the bulb.
How big is it?
It measures 60mm across the widest part of the bulb and 106mm from the tip to the base of the cap, which is the standard size for this shape.
How does the brightness compare with an old-fashioned bulb?
At 806 lumens it sits where a 60W incandescent used to, while drawing only 6.5W.
Is 2700K warm enough for a living room or bedroom?
Yes. 2700K is a warm, slightly golden white, the closest LED tone to the old filament bulbs, and it flatters soft furnishings and wood.
How long should it last?
Average rated life is 15,000 hours, and it carries a five year warranty.
Should I choose clear or opal?
Clear gives a crisper, more sparkling light and looks right in cut glass or where the bulb is meant to be seen. Choose opal instead if the bulb is fully exposed at eye level and you want the glare knocked back.
