Description
This C35 candle LED bulb fits the E14 Small Edison Screw (SES) cap and gives a soft 470 lumens at 3000K warm white. Across the Atlantic the small screw cap sits alongside the candelabra fitting most US buyers know, while the flame-shaped C35 profile keeps the familiar candle look. It draws just 4.9 watts in place of a 40 watt old bulb, so the running cost drops sharply without changing the light you are used to. A wide 200 degree beam angle spreads the output broadly rather than throwing it in one direction, which suits open shades and exposed fittings.
The warm 3000K tone and Ra 80 colour rendering make this a comfortable choice for chandeliers, wall brackets, pendant clusters and table lamps in living rooms, dining rooms, hallways and bedrooms. The wide 200 degree spread fills a multi-arm fitting evenly, so a set of these reads as one steady glow rather than a row of bright points. With 470 lumens per bulb it is a gentle, ambient output meant to light a room in groups rather than to flood a single task area, so plan for several across a fitting where you want a brighter overall level. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only and should be kept away from bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp position.
The bulb measures Ø35 by 103 mm and weighs only 16 grams, a compact candle that clears tight glass shades and narrow chandelier cups. It runs on 220 to 240V AC mains through the E14 cap and reaches an efficiency of 96 lm/W with a rated life of 15,000 hours. This is a non-dimmable bulb, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. The finish is white with a clean candle body. The wider Kanlux E14 range covers matching warm white candle bulbs for fitting out a whole light in one tone.

Frequently Asked
Which fitting does this bulb need?
It uses the E14 cap, also called Small Edison Screw or SES, which is the smaller screw-in fitting common on chandeliers, wall lights and many table lamps. Check that your fitting takes E14 rather than the larger E27 before ordering. The C35 candle shape suits exposed and shaded fittings alike.
What old bulb does the 4.9W replace?
The bulb draws only 4.9 watts itself but gives a light output equivalent to a 40 watt old incandescent candle bulb, at 470 lumens. Swapping like for like keeps the brightness you are used to while cutting the energy used. Rated at 15,000 hours, it also lasts far longer than the bulb it replaces.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, this is a non-dimmable bulb and should be used on a standard on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or buzzing and may shorten its life. If you need dimming, choose a bulb listed as dimmable instead.
Will the colour suit a living room?
Yes. At 3000K it gives a warm white tone that feels relaxed and homely, well suited to living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms. With an Ra 80 colour rendering, colours in the room look natural under the light.
