Domus LED Filament G45 CLR 4.2W Fancy Round Dim / E27

This Domus lamp is a 4.2 W clear LED filament fancy round — G45 shape, E27 screw base, dimmable, in 2700 K or 6500 K.

⭐ This is the combination most exposed-lamp fittings actually want

• ⭐ Clear + G45 + E27 is the pairing that suits modern exposed pendants, cage lights and bare-lamp rows — and ⭐ those fittings are usually E27 rather than B22.
• ⭐ Why: the industrial-modern look comes largely from imported and design-led fittings, which tend to use the screw base. B22 is the older Australian domestic standard and is commoner on traditional chandeliers and ceiling roses.
• ⭐ So if you are buying for a cage pendant or a row of bare bulbs, this is probably the one. ⚠ Check the holder first — E27 has a screw thread, B22 has two pins and a quarter turn.
• ⚠ They do not interchange, and ⭐ a wrong base is the commonest reason a lamp order goes back.

⭐ Clear on a G45 — the lamp IS the fitting

• ⭐ A 45 mm glass sphere with a visible filament is a deliberate design object. On an exposed-lamp fitting there is nothing else to look at, so the lamp carries the whole appearance.
• ⭐ Which makes two things matter more than usual: ⭐ buy them all together so the filament pattern matches across a row, and ⭐ put them on a dimmer, because a bare filament at full output is the brightest thing in the room.
• ⚠ At eye level, clear glares. ⭐ The frosted G45 is the version for a low pendant or a mirror light.

⛔ Nothing about its output is published

• ⛔ No lumens, CRI, beam, lifespan, warranty, IP or datasheet. Six fields. ⚠ 18 of 19 Domus filament listings are the same.
• ⭐ The LF-G45 sibling — a 4.2 W G45 filament in this catalogue — records 470 lm and 15,000 hrs, about 112 lm/W. ⚠ A sibling reading, not this SKU's specification.
• ⭐ For scale: 470 lm is roughly a 40 W incandescent. ⭐ In an exposed-lamp fitting that is usually right — you want presence, not output, and several lamps add up.
• ⚠ If you are lighting a room from these alone, plan on several, and ⭐ ask us for the real figure.

⭐ Modern filament, not "retro vintage" — a four-fold difference

LF-type filament lamps run 103–135 lm/W; the “retro vintage” LRF range runs 28–52. ⭐ Roughly a quarter the light per watt, ⛔ and nothing in the catalogue says so. ⭐ A retro lamp imitates a 1910 carbon filament — long, dim, orange, meant to be looked at. ⭐ This one gives filament looks with real output. ⚠ If the antique glow is what you want, ask us for the LRF range and expect to use more of them.

⚠ 2700 K or 6500 K

• ⭐ 2700 K — warm and slightly amber, matching the filament's own appearance.
• ⚠ 6500 K on a clear exposed lamp is the most conspicuous mismatch available: cold daylight-white light from a warm-looking element, with no shade to soften it.
• ⭐ Buy a whole fitting's worth in one colour temperature. ⚠ Mixing is instantly obvious — more so than mixing brightness.

⛔ "Dim" is in the title and in no field

⚠ 7 of 7 Domus filament listings titled “Dim” carry no dimmable field. ⭐ It is dimmable; ⚠ trailing-edge, and ⭐ a row of several dims far more smoothly than one at 4.2 W each.

Where it works

• Modern exposed pendants and cage lights — ⭐ usually E27.
• Rows of bare lamps over a bench, bar or mirror.
• Design-led and imported fittings.
• ⚠ Not in a B22 holder — ⭐ order the bayonet version.
• ⚠ Not at eye level — ⭐ use the frosted G45.

Specifying it

4.2 W clear LED filament fancy round. G45 shape, 45 mm. E27 screw base. 2700 K or 6500 K. Dimmable. 240 V. ⭐ Clear + G45 + E27 is the combination most modern exposed-lamp fittings want. ⚠ Check the holder — E27 screws, B22 has two pins and a quarter turn, and they do not interchange. ⛔ No lumen figure, CRI, lifespan, warranty or datasheet; the LF-G45 sibling records 470 lm and 15,000 hrs as a guide — roughly a 40 W incandescent. ⭐ Buy them all together and put them on a dimmer: on an exposed fitting the lamp IS the appearance.
