It draws 4.9W and gives 470 lumens of warm white light at 2700K, and the pack rates that against a 40W filament candle bulb. The body is plain white rather than clear, so the light comes out diffused rather than picked out as a bright point. The pack prints the bulb at 98mm long and 35mm across the glass, and they come two to a box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eE27 candle bulbs are less common than the E14 sort, and they turn up in older chandeliers, wall brackets and pendant fittings built around a full size screw lampholder. Before ordering, look at the cap on the bulb you are taking out: E27 measures 27mm across the screw thread and E14 measures 14mm, and the difference is plain once you hold the two together. Because a candle shape is tall and narrow, it also suits small shades and half shades where a rounder bulb would press against the fabric, and it looks tidy in a fitting that leaves the lamp on show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pack marks the bulb as non dimmable, so pair it with an ordinary on and off switch; on a dimmer circuit an LED not built for dimming can flicker, buzz or refuse to strike. Warm white at 2700K sits at the softer end of the scale, close to the yellow light of an old incandescent bulb, which makes it easy to live with in a sitting room or a hallway. The energy rating is F, and the pack claims up to 90% less energy than the bulb it replaces along with a life of up to 15 years. They arrive two to a box, which suits a pair of matching wall lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE27 (ES) screw cap\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\u003e4.9W\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, the pack marks it non dimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifespan as printed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLasts up to 15 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\u003eBox of 2 bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8, sold in multiples of 8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I tell whether my fitting takes E27 or the smaller E14?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook at the cap on the old bulb.
