Energizer 7.3W Dimmable LED Candle Bulb B15 2700K - Warm White

The Energizer 7.3W LED candle bulb is a dimmable B15 bayonet-cap replacement for traditional 60W incandescent candles, delivering 806 lumens at 2700K warm white. The candle profile fits chandeliers, wall sconces, bedside lamps and decorative fittings where the bulb shape is visible. Dimmer compatibility allows brightness to be adjusted from full output down to a low glow depending on the time of day or room function.

Designed for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways where incandescent candles were previously used, the bulb draws 7.3W on 230V mains rather than the 60W of the filament original. This reduces running cost by approximately 88% over the bulb's lifespan while maintaining the same light output. The B15 small bayonet cap (SBC) fits UK and European decorative lighting fixtures manufactured for this base type.

The 2700K colour temperature produces a warm yellow-white tone comparable to incandescent and halogen sources, avoiding the cooler blue-white cast of higher-Kelvin LEDs. Energizer rates this bulb for a 15-year lifespan under typical domestic use patterns (approximately 15,000 hours at 3 hours per day). The frosted candle envelope diffuses the LED filament inside, giving an even glow without visible point sources when the bulb is lit.

Is this bulb compatible with all dimmer switches?

The Energizer 7.3W candle is rated as dimmable, but performance depends on the specific dimmer model. Older rotary or slide dimmers designed for incandescent loads may cause flickering or a limited dimming range. LED-compatible trailing-edge dimmers give the best results. If you experience issues, check the dimmer manufacturer's specifications for LED compatibility.

What's the difference between B15 and B22?

B15 is the small bayonet cap (SBC), approximately 15mm in diameter. B22 is the standard bayonet cap (BC), approximately 22mm. This bulb uses B15, which is common in decorative wall lights, chandeliers and smaller table lamps. Check your existing bulb or fixture fitting before ordering.

How long does the bulb last?

Energizer rates this bulb for a 15-year lifespan based on typical domestic use of approximately 3 hours per day, which equates to around 15,000 hours. Actual lifespan varies depending on usage patterns, dimming frequency and ambient temperature.

Can I use this bulb in an enclosed fitting?

Yes. LED candle bulbs generate less heat than incandescent or halogen equivalents, making them suitable for fully enclosed glass or metal fixtures where heat buildup would otherwise shorten bulb life.
