		<description><![CDATA[Beautifully simple 12V glass LED filament lamp.

This is one of my favourite 12V lamps so far.  It has the simplest possible circuitry and would be perfect for implementing a whole house 12V lighting system that removed your reliance on external power for lighting, gave absolutely zero flicker lighting and with a suitable PWM dimmer, complete dimming from 0-100%.
Other things worthy of note.  The simple circuitry means that the lamp will adjust its current according to the supply voltage and only put out its full power when a battery is being charged at around the 14V mark.

Comments:

I really wish they wouldn&#039;t mix up voltages and fittings.   E27 should definitely not be a 12V socket.﻿

You&#039;ve never spent time on big ships I can tell. I&#039;ve had E27 lamps in 12, 24, 42, and 48V in addition to the &quot;standard&quot; 120V.﻿

Still it&#039;s a good idea to have separate standards for different stuff that isn&#039;t directly interoperable. 

The problem is you&#039;re assuming E27 is connected to voltage. It&#039;s not. It&#039;s not connected to current either. There&#039;s a huge difference in construction between a 40W capable and a 300W capable E27 sockets even if you forget about the voltage. The trouble with &quot;idiot-proof&quot; things is that they only get used by idiots.﻿

Why do you think they&#039;re not sold for use on boats and ships? Were you previously aware that E27 is common for 12V, 24V, 36V, 42V, 48V, 100V, 120V, and 230V lamps? I doubt it.
