Domus LED Filament C35 CLR 4.2W Candle Dim / B22

This Domus lamp is a 4.2 W clear LED filament candle — C35 shape, B22 bayonet, dimmable, in 2700 K or 6500 K.

⭐ Clear or frosted is the decision — and it is not cosmetic

• ⭐ This is the CLEAR version. You see the filament.
• ⭐ Which is the entire point of a filament lamp — the visible glowing element is what you are buying. ⭐ In an open fitting, a bare pendant, a chandelier or a lantern with clear glass, clear is the only choice that makes sense.
• ⚠ And it glares. A visible filament is a small, very bright source. ⭐ At eye level, above a dining table, or in a fitting you look up into, clear is uncomfortable — that is what the frosted version is for.
• ⭐ Rule of thumb: clear where you look AT it, frosted where you look THROUGH it.

⛔ It records no lumen figure — and nor do 17 of its 18 relatives

• ⛔ No output, no CRI, no beam, no lifespan, no warranty, and no datasheet. Six fields in all.
• ⚠ A globe is bought on lumens, and ⛔ 18 of the 19 Domus filament listings do not publish one.
• ⭐ The nearest guide we have is a sibling. The LF-C35 — a 4.2 W C35 filament candle in this same catalogue — records 500 lm and 15,000 hrs. ⚠ That is a sibling reading, not this SKU's specification, and we are labelling it as such.
• ⭐ 500 lm at 4.2 W is about 119 lm/W, which is genuinely good — ⭐ and it is the figure that separates this family from the “retro vintage” one below.
• ⭐ Ask us for the actual output if you are matching an existing lamp or working to a level.

⭐ Filament, but NOT "retro vintage" — and the difference is four-fold

• ⭐ A retro vintage filament globe gives roughly a QUARTER the light per watt of a standard filament lamp — ⛔ and nothing in the catalogue says so.
• ⭐ That is not a fault; it is the design. A retro lamp imitates a 1910 carbon filament: long, dim, orange, and meant to be looked at rather than to light a room.
• ⭐ This lamp is the modern kind — filament looks, real output. ⭐ If you want the antique glow, ask us for the LRF range; if you want to see by it, stay here.

⚠ 2700 K or 6500 K — and one of them fights the fitting

• ⭐ 2700 K is what a filament lamp is for. Warm, slightly amber — it matches the look of the visible filament and suits every room a candle lamp goes in.
• ⚠ 6500 K is a cold blue-white, and ⭐ on a clear filament lamp it is a contradiction in terms: you are buying a warm decorative form and putting daylight-white light through it.
• ⭐ It has uses — display of cool-toned goods, a task position, a commercial fitting where the look is secondary. ⚠ In a chandelier or a dining pendant it will look wrong.
• ⭐ We would specify 2700 K unless there is a reason not to.

⛔ It says "Dim" in the title and records no dimmable field

⚠ 7 of the 7 Domus filament listings titled “Dim” carry no dimmable field — so the claim lives only in the name. ⭐ It is dimmable, and ⚠ the caveat that always applies to LED filament still applies here: use a trailing-edge dimmer, and be aware that a single 4.2 W lamp is a very small load for most dimmers. ⭐ Several lamps on one dimmer behave far better than one. Tell us the dimmer and the lamp count.

Where it works

• Chandeliers and multi-arm fittings with a B22 holder — ⭐ where the filament is meant to be seen.
• Open pendants and clear-glass lanterns.
• Wall brackets above eye level.
• ⚠ Not at eye level or over a dining table — ⭐ use the frosted version.
• ⚠ Not on a leading-edge dimmer, and ⚠ not as a single lamp on a dimmer circuit.

Specifying it

4.2 W clear LED filament candle. C35 shape. B22 bayonet. 2700 K or 6500 K. Dimmable. 240 V. ⛔ No lumen figure, CRI, lifespan, warranty or datasheet is recorded — as with 18 of the 19 Domus filament listings. ⭐ Its 4.2 W LF-C35 sibling records 500 lm and 15,000 hrs, which is a guide, not this SKU's specification. ⭐ This is a MODERN filament lamp, not a "retro vintage" one — those give roughly a quarter the light per watt. ⚠ Clear shows the filament and glares; the frosted version is for eye-level positions.
