01 / The feeling
Sculptural Light, Day and Night
A statement piece that glows as beautifully when off as it does when lit, this spiral filament bulb casts a warm, golden ambience through its amber-tinted glass. The sculptural helix filament creates mesmerising patterns of light and shadow, adding instant character to exposed pendants, table lamps, and anywhere you want decorative illumination to take centre stage. Perfect for creating inviting, contemporary spaces with a touch of vintage charm.
The Helix combines artistry with excellent functionality — it's fully dimmable using a trailing edge dimmer, so you can adjust the mood from subtle glow to brighter task lighting. At just 4 watts, it delivers 280 lumens of warm white light while keeping energy costs remarkably low. Finished to exacting standards with a reassuring 2-year warranty, this E27 fitting installs in moments and transforms your space for years to come.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
What type of dimmer switch do I need for this bulb?
The Helix requires a trailing edge dimmer switch for smooth, flicker-free dimming. Trailing edge dimmers are specifically designed for LED loads and will give you better control across the full range compared to older leading edge dimmers. If you're installing a new dimmer switch as part of fixed wiring, you'll need a qualified electrician to carry out the work in compliance with Part P Building Regulations.
Is this bulb bright enough to light a room or is it just decorative?
At 280 lumens and 4 watts, this is primarily a decorative ambient bulb rather than a main light source. It's ideal for creating mood lighting in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas, particularly in exposed pendants or table lamps where the sculptural filament becomes a feature. For task lighting or brighter illumination, you'd want to pair it with additional light sources or use multiple bulbs.
Will this fit a standard lamp holder?
Yes, this uses an E27 (Edison Screw) cap, which is the most common large screw fitting in the UK. It will fit any lamp, pendant, or light fitting with an E27 socket. The bulb measures 142mm in height and 64mm in diameter, so do check your shade or fitting has sufficient clearance, especially in enclosed or narrow fixtures.
Can I use this bulb in a bathroom?
No, this bulb is rated IP20, which means it's suitable for dry indoor locations only and offers no protection against moisture. Bathrooms require a minimum of IP44 (often IP65 for zones 1 and 2), so this Helix bulb should only be used in living areas, bedrooms, hallways, and other rooms without water exposure.
What colour temperature is the light and can I get it in cool white?
This bulb emits a warm white glow enhanced by the amber-tinted glass, creating a cosy, golden ambience similar to vintage incandescent bulbs. It's designed specifically for warm, atmospheric lighting. This particular model is only available in the amber finish with warm white output—it's not offered in cool white or daylight variants.
What's covered under the warranty if the bulb fails?
The Helix comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. If the bulb fails during normal use within this period, you'll be entitled to a replacement. The warranty doesn't cover damage from incorrect installation, use with incompatible dimmers, or physical breakage, so do ensure you're using a trailing edge dimmer for best results.
