The Knoll B10
The Chandelier Lamp That Still Looks Like a Lamp

Most candelabra bulbs disappear the moment they are installed, tucked behind a shade or angled away from view. The Knoll B10 takes the opposite approach: it’s a blunt-tip B10 candelabra lamp on an E12 base, built to be seen.

Why It’s Named the Knoll B10

Archipelago Lighting’s Décor nostⒶLGIC series gives each lamp shape a name instead of only a generic bulb code. A code like “B10” tells a specifier almost nothing about how the lamp is meant to be used or seen.

The name also helps on paper. On a submittal or a spec sheet, “The Knoll B10” is far easier to reference correctly across a project team than a shape code that could apply to dozens of visually different products from different manufacturers.

Built for Chandeliers and Sconces, Not Hidden Fixtures

The Knoll B10 uses a blunt-tip candelabra shape on an E12 base — the workhorse silhouette of decorative chandeliers and wall sconces. It is available in two glass finishes depending on the application: frosted for residential settings where a softer, diffused glow is preferred, and clear for settings where the filament itself becomes a visible design feature rather than something to obscure.

Output comes in two steps, both rated as 40W incandescent equivalents: 3.5W at 280 lumens and 4.5W at 350 lumens. Every SKU in the family is a single 2700K color temperature, and that is the detail that matters most for this product. A decorative chandelier might carry anywhere from 4 to 12 lamps in one fixture, all of them visible at once — so consistency from lamp to lamp is the whole job. Specifying one CCT across the family removes the most common source of mismatch in a cluster.

Where the Knoll B10 Gets Specified

Decorative chandeliers are the most common application, particularly fixtures specifying 4 to 12 lamps where visual consistency across every bulb matters. Wall sconces with exposed bases are a close second, since the candelabra shape and its finish options are designed to be visible rather than shielded.

In residential work that means dining room chandeliers, foyer pendants, and living-room sconce clusters. In hospitality, restaurant chandelier clusters, hotel lobby sconces, and bar or lounge fixtures — where the clear glass lets the filament read as part of the room’s ambiance rather than disappearing into a shade.

The lamp dims smoothly to 5%, which is what makes it workable in a dining room or a bar where the fixture has to carry the room from service to close. JA8-2022-E and T20 compliant variants are available where California code requires them, and the series is UL Listed and RoHS compliant with a 3-year / 25,000-hour warranty.

Part of a Larger Naming System

The Knoll B10 is one of seven lamps in the Décor nostⒶLGIC series, each with its own name: the Saarinen A15, Eames A19, Knoll B10, Bauer CA10, Heath G16.5, Eichler G25 and Marshall S14.

The series is offered in order quantities from as few as 6 units up to 6,000 — which covers everything from a single residential fixture to a full hospitality rollout across multiple properties.
