Description
Gold-tinted glass gives this E27 lamp its warm, honeyed cast before it is even switched on. Lit, it settles at 2200K, the deep amber end of warm white, nearer candlelight than daylight, and it gives 630 lumens from 6.5W. The tapered tip and softly swollen body follow the old rustica outline meant for open fittings, where the bulb itself is part of what you look at. It dims, given a dimmer suited to LED.
We reach for it where the glass is on show: over a bar, in a cluster of clear pendants, in a wall light with an open shade, or on a plain flex holder above the stairs. The output is low and amber, so it is a lamp for evenings and mood rather than for reading or close work, and in kitchens and home offices we would put a brighter source nearby to do the working light. In a snug, a hallway or a dining room on a dimmer it holds a room by itself. The screw cap fits the usual run of pendants and table lamps.
The body is gold glass on a standard screw cap, and the tint stays visible whether the lamp is lit or dark, which is why it earns its place in fittings that show the bulb off. Turn it off and let the glass cool before lifting dust with a dry lint-free cloth; nothing damp, and no cleaning sprays near the tinted surface. It carries a five year warranty. A dimmer is not supplied, and it is worth checking that any existing one is rated for low-wattage LED, since older units built for filament loads can flicker. Where a fitting takes a pair or a row, we would buy them together so the amber tone matches across the set.

Frequently Asked
Will it work on the dimmer I already have?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. At 6.5W the load is very small, and older dimmers made for incandescent bulbs often need a minimum wattage to run smoothly, so check the dimmer's rating or fit a trailing edge LED type.
What size is it, and will it fit a small shade?
The glass measures 64mm across at its widest and the lamp is 143mm tall overall, including the cap. That is the classic ST64 teardrop proportion, so allow a little clearance above the holder in narrow shades.
How bright is it compared with an old bulb?
It produces 630 lumens, which sits roughly where a 50W to 60W incandescent would for a similar mood, though the 2200K colour is deliberately amber and reads warmer and softer than a standard warm white lamp.
Does the gold tint reduce the light?
Yes, the tinted glass is part of the effect. It softens and warms the output, which is why the quoted 630 lumens go further as atmosphere than as task light.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life and carries a five year warranty.
