Liquidleds Sunset Dim Classic, B22

About this product

Plenty of fittings still run on a bayonet cap, and the Sunset Dim Classic, B22 gives them the warm-down glow that most LED bulbs traded away. Dimmable and clear, it draws just 7.8 watts to put out 806 lumens of 2700K warm white, matching a traditional 60W incandescent, and as the dimmer comes down the colour deepens to a rich 1800K amber. Ultra-high colour accuracy holds timber, textiles and paintwork true at any level, with skin tones that stay warm and flattering, while the B22 bayonet cap seats with a quick push and twist. Backed by a 3-year warranty.

The Clear Glass Effect

Clear glass keeps the filament in plain sight, and that is half the appeal. Inside the bulb a row of LEDs throws a warm, faintly sparkling light, the kind that lifts a room with a bit of glint off glassware and polished timber. Off, the filament still reads as a deliberate, vintage detail, so the bulb looks intentional in open pendants and exposed bayonet holders where it is always on view. Prefer the light softened and the filament out of sight, particularly behind a fabric or paper shade where a clear bulb can cast filament shadows? The Porcelain Classic handles that better.

The dimming is where it earns its keep. Most LEDs stay one flat tone all the way down; this one warms as it lowers, the amber growing deeper and more golden the further you take it, so a low setting reads cosy instead of cold. On an LED-compatible dimmer the fade runs smooth from top to bottom.

Where It Belongs

The B22 Sunset Dim Classic drops into the many pendants, batten holders and lamps wired for bayonet, where the push-and-twist keeps it firmly seated. At home it suits living and bedroom pendants, kitchen and hallway battens, and bedside and floor lamps you like to bring down low after dark. In restaurants, bars, hotel rooms and boutique retail it does the same job, warming the room as the night draws in. The B22 bayonet cap twists securely into the bayonet holders found in many pendants, battens and lamps.
