Description
The Energizer 5W LED candle bulb houses visible LED filaments inside a clear glass candle-shaped envelope, fitted with a standard E27 Edison screw base. The bulb delivers 550 lumens at 2700K warm white, replacing a traditional 40W incandescent candle with 87% lower energy consumption. The filament design replicates the appearance of vintage carbon-filament bulbs while running on modern LED technology.
Designed for chandeliers, wall sconces, table lamps and pendant fittings where the bulb is visible, the clear glass and exposed filaments provide a decorative element as well as functional light. The candle shape suits fittings with narrow shades or open frames where a standard A-shape bulb would protrude. The 2700K colour temperature produces a warm glow similar to halogen or tungsten sources, working in residential living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where softer light is preferred over cooler daylight tones.
The bulb is non-dimmable and requires a standard on/off switch circuit. Energy rating E places it in the mid-range for LED efficiency, consuming 5W on 230V mains supply. Energizer rates the operational lifespan at 15 years based on average domestic use patterns of 3 hours per day, which translates to approximately 16,000-20,000 hours before lumen depreciation reaches end-of-life threshold. The E27 base fits the majority of UK domestic light fittings without requiring adaptors.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This bulb is non-dimmable and must be used on a standard on/off switch circuit. Installing it on a dimmer circuit may cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What wattage incandescent does it replace?
The 5W LED output of 550 lumens is equivalent to a 40W traditional incandescent candle bulb, providing similar light output with 87% lower energy consumption.
What fittings is the candle shape suited to?
The candle shape works in chandeliers, wall sconces, table lamps and pendant fittings where the bulb is visible or where a standard A-shape bulb would be too large. The clear glass and filament design make it a decorative choice for open-frame fittings.
How long does the bulb last?
Energizer rates the lifespan at 15 years based on 3 hours of use per day, which equates to approximately 16,000-20,000 hours of operation before light output drops below acceptable levels.
