I find its actually a very good idea - I use them almost exclusively.
The main attraction (other than being nicer to look at in applications
where you can see the bulb) is the 360 degree radiation pattern, that
closely resembles a GLS lamp. Hence any fittings that use the lamp cap
down or the whole lamp side on, still give the intended illumination.


Does GLS have a standard size? I have one of these LED filament bulbs
in my sitting room but the diffuser has a 65mm hole and won't fit
over the bulb.

Any ideas for an LED with equivalent light output in a smaller bulb?

I got a "candle" format GLS BC LED from somewhere for a table lamp with
a glass globe that has a small hole and won't fit over a incandescent
bulb, much less a standard LED one. I think it came from B&Q.

'GLS' is the shape and size of the ordinary incandescent bulb, so you can't
have a GLS candle - it's a bit like having a 3-wheeled bike!
There is a number for the standard size but ICR what it is.
Sometimes it's confusing; IIRC, MR16 is a shape, GU10 is a base/cap but is
MR16!
