It draws 5.4W and gives 470 lumens, and the retail pack states it as a 40W replacement, so it is a like for like swap for an older 40W candle lamp without losing brightness. The colour temperature is 2700K warm white, the soft yellow tone people associate with incandescent lighting. The candle envelope is clear rather than opal, leaving the small lens inside on show, with a white body below it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear candle lamps earn their place where the bulb itself is part of the fitting: chandeliers and candelabra, wall lights with open shades, small pendants over a hall table, and lantern style ceiling fittings with glazed sides. Because nothing diffuses the light, you get sparkle through cut glass and crystal drops, which is the whole point of a chandelier. In a fitting with a close fabric shade the difference between clear and opal matters far less, so either will do there. Check the height your shade allows before ordering, since a candle lamp is taller than a golf ball lamp of the same output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lamp is not dimmable: both the specification and the pack say so, so pair it with an ordinary on and off switch. Running a non dimmable LED on a dimmer circuit tends to cause flicker and buzzing. The pack prints a 15 year lifespan, with the back panel carrying the small print behind that figure. It is rated IP20, which means no protection against water, so keep it to dry indoor fittings. Each unit is one bulb in a blister, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12. It sits alongside our wider range of LED candle bulbs in the smaller B15 small bayonet cap, in warm white and cool white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB22 bayonet cap (BC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCandle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.4W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrightness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e470lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquivalent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40W, as printed on the pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2700K warm white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifespan as printed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 years, as printed on the pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle bulb in a blister pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12, sold in multiples of 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if my fitting takes a B22 cap?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the base of the old bulb.
