Product Information
Full details
The Calex 4W Smoke Specialist LED Bulb is perfect for interior designers, café owners, and homeowners looking to add a vintage, atmospheric aesthetic to their lighting arrangements. Its primary benefit is the combination of energy-efficient LED technology with a sophisticated smoke-tinted glass finish that provides a warm, inviting 2200K glow. However, it is important to note that at 40 lumens, this is strictly a decorative bulb and is not intended to serve as a primary source of task or ambient room lighting.

FAQs
Is this bulb suitable for outdoor use?
This bulb is designed for indoor use. Outdoor usage requires a completely weather-sealed fixture.
Can I use this bulb in a bathroom?
Yes, provided the fixture is properly sealed and protected from direct water spray or high humidity.
Is the 40 lumens bright enough to read by?
No, 40 lumens is a very low output intended for mood and decorative purposes only, not for reading or tasks.
How long will this bulb last?
Like most LED technology, this bulb is designed for longevity, typically offering thousands of hours of life compared to traditional filaments.
What does 2200K mean?
The 'K' stands for Kelvin, which measures color temperature. 2200K is considered 'extra warm white,' producing a cozy, amber-toned light.
Troubleshooting
The bulb flickers when dimmed
Ensure your dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs. Not all legacy dimmers work correctly with low-wattage LED filaments.
Bulb does not illuminate
Verify the bulb is screwed firmly into the socket and check that the fixture is receiving power. If it still fails, test the bulb in a different known-working socket.
Pros and Cons

- Sophisticated vintage aesthetic with modern LED reliability
- Excellent for ambient, mood-focused lighting
- Low energy consumption compared to traditional incandescent filaments
- Attractive smoke-tinted glass finish
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation follows standard procedures for any light bulb: ensure the power is switched off before removing your old bulb and screwing the Calex LED into a compatible socket. As this is an LED product, handle it gently; while more durable than glass incandescent bulbs, the outer shell can still be damaged if dropped or struck against hard surfaces. To clean, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to wipe away dust; avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these may scratch the smoke-tinted finish. Always verify that your light fixture is compatible with LED wattage requirements before installation.
