E27 (ES) LED Candle Bulb 4.2W 470lm Dimmable - Daylight 6500K

A candle bulb with an E27 Edison screw cap, the larger of the two screw fittings, and a frosted body that spreads the light rather than showing the diodes behind it. It draws 4.2W and gives 470 lumens at 6500K, the coolest of the everyday white tones: a clean, slightly blue daylight instead of the yellow cast of an old filament. The pack front prints 5W as its headline figure, while the rated power is 4.2W. Light leaves across a 280 degree beam, so it works outward and down the fitting as well as up.

Candle bulbs belong in multi-arm chandeliers, wall lights and candelabra table lamps, anywhere the bulb shows through a clear or open shade, and the frosted finish keeps the glare down when it does. Check the cap before ordering: E27 screws in on a thread roughly 27mm across, so a fitting made for the narrower E14 will not take one, and a bayonet cap will not screw in at all. Daylight at 6500K reads crisp and awake, which suits a kitchen, a home office, a workshop or a craft table where colours need to look true. In a bedroom or a sitting room most people prefer a warmer tone.

Dimming is supported, so it can go on a dimmer circuit, though as with any LED the low end depends on the dimmer suiting LED loads. The pack prints a 25,000 hour life and an instant start with no warm-up, and the energy class is E. IP20 means dry indoor fittings only. Each box holds one bulb, sold in multiples of ten with ten the minimum order, which is handy when a chandelier takes five or six at once. We also list the same 4.2W 470lm candle with a B15 (SBC) bayonet cap in warm white 2700K.

Will an E27 candle bulb fit my chandelier?

Only if the holders take the large Edison screw cap. E27 threads measure about 27mm across, so check the cap on the old bulb before ordering.

How bright is 470 lumens in practice?

Roughly the output of an old 40W incandescent candle, which is the replacement figure printed on the pack. Across a five arm fitting that is ample for a dining room.

What does 6500K daylight look like in a room?

Crisp and slightly blue, close to midday light. It keeps colours honest for reading, cooking and close work, but it can feel stark in a room meant for relaxing.

Can I put these on a dimmer?

Yes, dimming is supported. As with any LED, how smoothly it behaves at the bottom of the range depends on the dimmer being suited to LED loads.

How long should one last?

The pack prints a 25,000 hour life. At three hours a day that is more than twenty years of evenings, though switching habits and heat inside an enclosed shade both play a part.

Why is the minimum order ten?

Each box holds a single bulb and these are sold in multiples of ten, so ten bulbs is the smallest order we can take on this listing.
