The light corresponds in fact a 100W lamp. The color is whitish than a light bulb, but not unpleasant. A star deduction there, because after 2 months only 3 of the 4 glass filament lamps. And because of the huge size - the lamp really fit in no lampshade. The white insulator is almost as large as a standard bulb. The lamp is 16 cm long, plus the thread. EDIT: after 4 weeks a quarter of the lamp fell (one strand) of - now, after 7 months the lamp has given up the ghost. Too bad - from light ago 6 star.
