Description
A round globe lamp with a clear finish, sitting at the smaller end of the globe family at 80mm across, so it reads as a neat sphere rather than a big decorative orb. The cap is an E27 screw fitting, and light leaves it in all directions, which suits open fittings where the lamp itself is part of the look. Output is 806 lumens drawn from 6.5W, in a cool white that sits closer to daylight than to candlelight. It dims, provided the dimmer you are using is a compatible one; no dimmer is supplied with it.
We reach for this where a fitting leaves the lamp on show: a clear pendant, a cluster over an island, an open framed wall light, or a shade that stops short of the cap. The cooler tone keeps whites looking clean, so kitchens, utility rooms, home offices and workshops all take it well. In bedrooms and snugs we would usually go warmer, unless you are matching lamps already in the room. Being dimmable, it also earns its place where one space does two jobs, bright for cooking and prep, then wound down for eating.
The clear finish leaves nothing to soften the light source, so it belongs in fittings that frame the sphere openly rather than half conceal it. Dust shows more on a clear surface than on an opal one, so give it an occasional wipe with a dry cloth, power off and the lamp cool to the touch first. It carries a three year warranty. We would pair it with a plain black flex pendant, or a brass batten holder on a hallway ceiling, and let the round shape do the decorating on its own.

Frequently Asked
What colour of light does it give?
A cool white at 4000K, a neutral, daylight-leaning tone rather than a yellow one. It is a good match for task areas and for rooms with a lot of white or grey in them.
How bright is it in old money?
It produces 806 lumens, which is broadly the light you would once have had from a 60W incandescent globe, but from 6.5W.
Will it work on my dimmer?
It is a dimmable lamp, but it needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. An older dimmer designed for filament lamps may flicker or buzz, and no dimmer is included.
What size is it overall?
It measures 80mm in diameter and 111mm tall including the E27 cap, so it stays compact in smaller shades and clusters.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life, and a three year warranty applies.
Can I use it outdoors?
Only inside a suitable enclosed exterior fitting rated for the job. On its own it is intended for dry rooms in the house.
