Description
A clear-finish GLS bulb in the familiar household shape, with an E27 screw cap. The clear envelope leaves the light source visible, so it suits open shades, glass pendants and lantern fittings where the lamp is meant to be seen. It runs at 6.5W and puts out 806 lumens, with a crisp daylight white at 6000K rather than anything warm or yellow. It dims, though it wants a dimmer suited to LED loads, and no dimmer comes with it.
Daylight white is what we reach for in rooms that are doing work rather than winding down: kitchens, utility rooms, home offices, garages and workshops, and anywhere colours need judging honestly. It earns its keep over a hobby bench, at a sewing table or in a reading lamp. Because it dims, the level can come down in the evening while the light keeps its cool, clean cast. A cool light like this also tends to read as brighter than a warm one of the same output. In a bedroom or a sitting room we would fit a warm white instead, since this one is deliberately brisk. Anywhere with an E27 screw socket takes it, from a hallway pendant to a floor lamp.
The clear finish keeps the profile close to the older bulbs it replaces and lets it sit happily behind a plain drum shade or in an open fitting. Clear bulbs show dust sooner than frosted ones, so give it a wipe with a dry cloth once the bulb is cold and the power is off. It carries a three year warranty. We keep this one as our plain daylight option in the standard bulb shape, and it pairs neatly with clear fittings where a frosted lamp would look out of place.

Frequently Asked
What size is this bulb?
It measures 60mm across the widest part of the envelope and 106mm in overall height, which is the standard A60 GLS size.
How bright is it, and how long should it last?
It gives 806 lumens from 6.5W, with a rated average life of 25,000 hours.
Will it work with my existing dimmer?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. Older dimmers built for filament bulbs can cause flicker or buzz, and a dimmer is not supplied with the bulb.
What does 6000K actually look like?
It is a cool, clean daylight white with a slight blue edge, well away from the yellow cast of a warm white lamp. Handy where you want light that feels sharp and alert.
Is the colour rendering good enough for detailed work?
Yes. It rates above 80 on the CRI scale, so colours hold up reasonably well for craft, cooking and general task work.
Can I mix it with warm white bulbs in the same room?
We would not. Two colour temperatures in one space tend to fight each other, so keep daylight bulbs together in the same fitting or the same area.
