Description
This E-Luminate 4.9W LED candle bulb delivers 470 lumens of 6500K daylight white light through a standard E27 Edison screw base, sold as a twin pack. The 6500K colour temperature replicates the crisp blue-white tone of natural daylight at midday, providing higher contrast and clarity than warmer bulbs in the same lumen output.
Designed for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and workspaces where task visibility matters more than ambient warmth, the bulb fits any standard E27 fitting including ceiling pendants, wall lights, table lamps and enclosed bathroom fittings rated IP44 or above. The 98mm height and 35mm diameter suit most candle-style shades and open pendants without the bulb protruding visibly below the shade lip.
The 4.9W power draw replaces a 40W incandescent bulb at roughly one-eighth the energy consumption, rated for approximately 15,000 hours of operation at typical domestic use patterns. The bulb is non-dimmable and will flicker or fail if paired with a dimmer switch, so should only be installed on standard switched circuits. The frosted candle envelope diffuses the LED chip evenly, avoiding visible hotspots when the bulb is viewed directly.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. The bulb is non-dimmable and will flicker, buzz or fail if installed on a dimmer circuit. Use only on standard switched circuits.
What does 6500K daylight look like compared to warm white?
6500K daylight produces a crisp blue-white light similar to natural daylight at midday, providing higher contrast and colour accuracy than 2700K-3000K warm white bulbs. It suits task-focused spaces like kitchens and bathrooms where clear visibility is needed, but may feel clinical in living rooms or bedrooms where warmer tones are preferred.
What size is the bulb?
The candle envelope measures 98mm in total height and 35mm in diameter, fitting most standard candle shades and E27 pendant fittings without protruding below the shade.
How long does the bulb last?
E-Luminate rates this LED for approximately 15,000 hours of operation, equivalent to around 15 years at typical domestic use of 3 hours per day.
