Energizer 5W E14 LED Candle Filament Bulb Dimmable 2700K - Warm White

The Energizer 5W E14 LED candle bulb uses exposed LED filaments behind a clear glass envelope to deliver 550 lumens of 2700K warm white light. The candle shape and E14 small Edison screw base fit decorative fixtures including chandeliers, wall sconces, bedside lamps and pendant lights where the bulb itself is visible. At 5W consumption, the bulb replaces a 40W incandescent while drawing a fraction of the power.

The dimmable function allows light output to be adjusted from full brightness down to low ambient levels, controlled by a compatible dimmer switch. The 320-degree beam angle spreads light widely rather than creating a focused spot, making the bulb suitable for general ambient lighting in living rooms, dining areas and bedrooms. The visible filament design mimics traditional incandescent construction while using LED technology for longer life and lower running costs.

The candle measures 98mm in height and 35mm in diameter, which is compact enough for smaller chandelier arms and narrow sconce housings. The clear glass envelope shows the filament layout when the bulb is off, adding decorative interest to the fitting. The 15-year lifespan printed on the packaging assumes typical household use patterns of approximately 3 hours per day. The Energy Rating E reflects current EU energy labelling standards introduced in September 2021, which place most LED bulbs in categories D-G following stricter efficiency thresholds.

What dimmer switches work with this bulb?

The bulb is dimmable but compatibility depends on the specific dimmer model. Leading-edge and trailing-edge LED dimmers typically work, but older incandescent-only dimmers may cause flickering or limited range. Check the dimmer's LED compatibility before pairing, or contact Energizer for a list of tested dimmers.

How does 550 lumens compare to older bulbs?

550 lumens is approximately equivalent to a 40W incandescent candle bulb. For reference, 250 lumens matches a 25W incandescent, while 800 lumens matches a 60W incandescent. The 2700K colour temperature produces a warm yellowish light similar to traditional tungsten bulbs.

Can this be used in enclosed fittings?

LED bulbs generate less heat than incandescent or halogen bulbs, so they tolerate enclosed fittings better. However, very tight or poorly ventilated enclosures can still reduce bulb lifespan. If the fitting traps heat noticeably, consider leaving a ventilation gap or choosing a lower-wattage bulb.

What does the Energy Rating E mean?

The EU revised its energy labelling scale in 2021, making it stricter. Most LED bulbs now fall into categories D-G rather than A++ under the old scale. An E rating indicates mid-range efficiency within the current LED market, not poor performance compared to older incandescent or halogen technology.
