The Domus C35 is a 4.2W clear filament LED candle lamp with anE27 base dimmable, glass, 240V.

Check the base before you buy: this is E27, and most candles are E14

• C35 is the 35mm candle shape, and it is usually made with the smallE14 screw base. This one is E27 the large screw base.
• The two do not interchange and no adaptor makes them fit properly.
• So this lamp exists for a specific problem: a fitting with E27 holders where afull-size globe looks wrong a small chandelier, a wall bracket with exposed holders, a pendantcluster where the lamp is the visible object.
• Look at what is in the fitting now. If the existing lamp screws into somethingabout the diameter of a ten-cent coin it is E14 and this will not fit. E27 is noticeably larger, about27mm across the thread.

What a clear filament lamp is for

• The filament is the decoration. A clear lamp is chosen when you can see it in an open holder, behind clear glass, in a cluster hung at eye level. In an opaque shade it is the wronglamp and you are paying for something nobody will see.
• Clear glass means a visible bright point, so it throws sharper shadows and can glareif it sits low. A frosted lamp is the choice when comfort matters more than looks.
• Dimmable, which on a decorative filament lamp is usually the point filament LEDs are made to be run low, where the warm glow is the effect.
• Dimmable is not the same as compatible with your dimmer. At 4.2W this is avery small load, and a single one on an old trailing-edge dimmer may flicker or refuse to start.Tell us the dimmer and how many lamps are on the circuit and we will say whether thecombination works.

Four things this listing does not record, and on a globe they are the specification

• There is no datasheet for this lamp either, so those figures are in no source wehold.
• What we can say from the wattage: a 4.2W filament LED candle typicallyreplaces a 40W incandescent candle and sits in the region of400470lumens. That is a comparison with the class of lamp, not afigure from Domus, and we have not put it in the specification table for that reason.
• Ask us and we will get the real figures from Domus. If you are buying a set for achandelier, the colour temperature in particular is worth confirming mismatched lamps in onefitting are very visible.

Where it works

• Small chandeliers and pendant clusters with E27 holders, where a full-size globe wouldlook heavy.
• Open wall brackets with the lamp on show.
• Behind clear glass a lantern, a cage pendant where the filament ispart of the look.
• Not behind an opaque shade you are paying for a filament nobody sees.
• Not at low eye level without a dimmer clear glass glares.
• Not in an E14 fitting.

Questions

Will it fit my chandelier?

Only if the holders are E27 the large screw base. This is the thing most likely to catch you out, because a C35 candle lamp is far more commonly made with the small E14 base, and the two do not interchange. Look at the lamp that is in there now: if it screws into something about the diameter of a ten-cent coin it is E14 and this will not fit. E27 is noticeably bigger, about 27mm across the thread.

How bright is it?

Not recorded, and there is no datasheet for this lamp, so the figure is in no source we hold which on a globe is a real gap, because brightness is the first question. What we can tell you is the class: a 4.2W filament LED candle typically replaces a 40W incandescent candle and sits somewhere around 400470 lumens. That is a comparison with the type of lamp rather than a figure from Domus, which is why we have not put it in the specification table. Ask us and we will get the real number.

What colour temperature is it?

Not recorded either, and it is worth settling before you buy especially for a set. Filament LEDs are usually made warm, around 22002700K, because the warm glow is the effect people are buying. But mismatched colour temperatures in one visible fitting are very obvious, so if you are lamping a chandelier ask us to confirm it with Domus first rather than discovering it after installation.

Will it work with my dimmer?

It is a dimmable lamp, but dimmable is not the same as compatible with your particular dimmer. At 4.2W this is a very small load, and one or two of them on an older trailing-edge dimmer may flicker, buzz or refuse to start that is a load problem rather than a fault in the lamp. Tell us which dimmer you have and how many lamps are on the circuit and we will say whether the combination works.

Is clear the right choice, or should I get frosted?

Clear if you can see the lamp in an open holder, a cage pendant, a lantern, a cluster at eye level. The filament is the decoration and that is what you are paying for. Frosted if comfort matters more: clear glass shows a bright point, throws sharper shadows and can glare when it sits low. And in an opaque shade, buy the cheapest lamp that fits, because nobody will ever see this one.

How long will it last?

Not recorded, and with no datasheet we cannot tell you. Filament LEDs as a class typically run 15,000 to 25,000 hours, but that varies a great deal by maker and we would rather not put a number on this one that we have not been given. Ask us and we will get it from Domus.

Can I use it outdoors?

Not unless the fitting is rated for it this is a plain glass lamp with no ingress rating of its own, so the protection comes entirely from the luminaire it sits in. In a sealed IP-rated outdoor lantern it would be fine electrically, but the clear filament look tends to belong indoors anyway. Tell us the fitting and we will confirm.
