Description
A gold-tinted glass bulb in the familiar rounded GLS shape, drawing 8W and giving 630 lumens at 2200K. That colour temperature is a deep amber warm white, far closer to candlelight or an old filament lamp than to the ordinary warm white most LEDs produce. The cap is E27 screw, and it is not dimmable, so it wants a plain switch rather than a dimmer plate.
We keep this one for fittings where the bulb itself is part of the look: open-bottomed pendants, clear glass lanterns, bare flex drops over a kitchen island, wall lights whose shades point upward. The gold glass warms and softens the light as it passes through, so the glow stays gentle and easy to look at directly. That makes it a good pick for snugs, bedrooms, dining rooms and bar corners, and a poor one for reading or close work, where you want something brighter and cleaner. We would use it as a group over a table rather than as the only source of light in a room.
The envelope is glass with the gold tint carried through it, in the standard GLS profile, so it sits happily inside shades and holders sized for a conventional household bulb. Wipe it with a dry cloth once it has gone cold, holding it by the cap so you are not pressing on the glass, and keep sprays, polishes and damp cloths off the tinted surface. It carries a five year warranty. Against matt black or brass metalwork the amber tint sits particularly well, and a cluster of them gives far more character than a single bulb on its own.

Frequently Asked
How bright is this bulb?
It puts out 630 lumens from 8W. That is a modest, atmospheric level of light rather than a main-room output, and the gold glass makes it read softer still.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. It is non-dimmable, so it should be run from ordinary switching. On a dimmer circuit it may flicker or buzz.
What size is it?
60mm across the widest point and 105mm tall, which is the standard rounded bulb shape most shades and holders are cut for.
What does 2200K actually look like?
A warm amber glow with a candlelit feel, noticeably deeper and yellower than a standard 2700K warm white lamp.
How long is it rated to last?
The average rated life is 15,000 hours.
Will the gold tint fade if I clean it?
The tint is in the glass itself, so normal dusting will not lift it. Avoid solvents, abrasive creams and aerosol polishes, which can mark the surface.
