My point was that the owners of these lamps shouldn't have a choice. If you know about the benefits of LED and STILL buy filament bulbs, then that is exactly why such bulbs should be banned.

​ I think we all know about environmentally friendly lightbulbs, Sherlock. No need to get high and mighty. Someone above said you NEED to buy dimmable LED bulbs for this lamp. in just pointing out this isn't true. Choice is up to the owner of the lamp I guess.

As you spotted, i was referring to dimmable LED's not working. I believe dimmable LED's require specific types of dimmers to work. These are non-typical dimming mechanisms and will not work in any of the dimmable LED's that i tried.

And you need to read what i wrote... :smiley:

For those of us that care about the environment (and our energy bills), filament bulbs are an absolute false economy.
LED bulbs will far outlast your filament bulbs, and cost you less in the long run.
Old style bulbs should be banned entirely.

​I use cheap Asda filament bulbs in mine and they've lasted over a year. no need to fork out for dimmable LED bulbs, unless of course you want to.

I think Pasanda said they don't work even with dimmable LEDs. Can you confirm that they do?

nice

oos near me Derby

I use the Philips dimmable bulbs. Seem to be pretty good.

What bulbs would you recommend?

these are great, no fumbling around in the dark to find the switch! Heat

bought two different pairs of these last year for bedrooms. They are very nice with a warm glow-effect (depending on the bulbs used, obvs), as the shades are relatively opaque, most of the light goes up and down.

One word of caution is to be very careful about using dimmable LED's. They may not work with this unit. The dimmers steps in 3 stages of brightness, one step with each touch. I've tried a range of different types of LED bulbs, all of which are normally dimmable. Some buzz and most give of a luminescence that is almost undistinguishable on each of the 3 dimmer settings. Incandescent bulbs should work a treat though.

not bad at full price!

out of stock norwich

Hope these have changed from a few years ago when I bought my mum a pair ....3 pairs later they were given up on.....may be cheap but in my opinion their cheap for a reason....
