G95 Spiral — The most dramatic filament, globe scale & spiral vs straight vs triangle

The G95 spiral filament is the most visually commanding combination in the vintage bulb range: the largest globe shape (95mm) paired with the most complex filament style. Where a straight filament runs in a single vertical line and a triangle filament forms a geometric structure, the spiral filament coils continuously in a helical pattern through the full interior of the globe — a glowing helix that fills the glass from base to tip and is visible from every angle simultaneously. The effect is a warm, multi-directional glow with a strong visual presence: the filament is not a detail inside the glass, it is the entire interior of the globe. At 40W and 2700K, the light is extra warm — a deep amber that is closer to candlelight than to standard warm white LED. This is the right choice for spaces where the bulb is the centrepiece: a single large pendant drop in a dining room, a floor lamp in a living room corner, or a statement table lamp where the globe and filament are fully visible. At 250–499 lm, the output is atmospheric rather than functional — this bulb is chosen for how it looks as much as for the light it produces. The G95 size means it will not fit inside most standard shades — it is designed for open fittings where the full 95mm globe is visible.

Direct E27 screw-in replacement — no tools required. Rated at 50,000 hours. IP20 — dry indoor use only. Check dimmability before ordering if your fitting has a dimmer switch.

Common questions

What is the visual difference between a spiral, straight, and triangle filament?

+

Straight filament: a single vertical line — clean, minimal, understated. Triangle filament: a geometric triangular structure — more complex, architectural, multi-point. Spiral filament: a continuous helical coil that fills the entire interior of the globe — the most complex, the most dramatic, and the most omnidirectional. The spiral is the right choice when you want the filament to dominate the visual character of the bulb; straight and triangle are more restrained alternatives.

Will the G95 globe fit inside my pendant shade or cage fitting?

+

The G95 is 95mm in diameter — it will not fit inside most standard pendant shades or enclosed fittings. It is designed for open fittings where the globe hangs freely and is fully visible. In a cage fitting, check that the internal cage diameter is at least 100mm to accommodate the G95 without contact. In a bare pendant drop, the G95 spiral filament is fully visible from all angles and creates a striking, warm presence.

Is this the same as the G95 clear filament 2W–8W also in the range?

+

No — both are G95 globes with E27 caps, but they differ in filament style and wattage. The 2W–8W range uses a standard filament pattern and is available in multiple wattages for flexible output. This 40W version uses a spiral filament — a continuous helical coil that fills the entire globe interior — and is a single fixed wattage. Choose the 2W–8W range for flexibility; choose this 40W spiral for maximum visual impact and a fixed, atmospheric output.

Is 250–499 lm enough to light a dining room on its own?

+

250–499 lm is an atmospheric, ambient output — not sufficient as the sole light source for a dining room used for meals and conversation. It creates a warm, intimate pool of light directly below the pendant, which is beautiful for atmosphere but insufficient for functional dining. Supplement with wall lights, floor lamps, or candles for a layered scheme. If you want a single pendant to provide both atmosphere and functional light, consider a higher-lumen bulb from our range.

Does the spiral filament look different when the bulb is switched off?

+

Yes — the spiral filament is clearly visible through the clear glass even when unlit. The helical coil catches ambient light and gives the G95 a distinctive, sculptural appearance at rest. In an open pendant or a lamp without a shade, the G95 spiral reads as a considered design object whether switched on or off — the filament structure is part of the aesthetic, not just a functional component that disappears when the light is off.
