E14 (SES) LED Candle Bulb 7.3W 806lm Dimmable - Warm White 2700K

This is a candle bulb on an E14 cap, the small screw fitting also written as SES. It draws 7.3W and gives 806 lumens, which is a brighter output than most candle lamps manage; plenty stop at around 470 lumens, so this one is worth knowing about where a multi-lamp fitting still reads dim. The colour temperature is 2,700K warm white, the softer yellow-leaning white most people associate with an old filament lamp, and the light source is LED throughout. The pack rates it as a 60W replacement.

E14 candle lamps live in chandeliers, wall lights, pendant clusters and smaller table lamps, and the candle shape matters most when the lamp is on show. The body is opal rather than clear, so the diodes are hidden behind a diffusing shell and the light is spread rather than pinpointed. Warm white at 2,700K sits comfortably in a sitting room, a hallway or over a dining table. If you are filling a fitting that takes several lamps, change them all together: a 2,700K lamp next to a cooler 4,000K one reads as a fault rather than a choice, and mismatched brightness is just as noticeable on a chandelier where every lamp is visible at once.

This one is dimmable, which a plain LED candle is not, so it can go on a dimmer circuit; LED dimming behaviour varies with the dimmer itself, so check yours is rated for LED loads. The pack prints a 15 year lifespan, given as 15,000 hours, and the energy rating is E. Each box holds one bulb, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, which suits anyone relamping a whole fitting or keeping spares. Our wider range of LED candle bulbs also covers the B15 (SBC) cap, in 4.2W 470lm and 7.3W 806lm, alongside a B15 golf shape.

Will this fit my existing light?

It takes an E14 cap, the smaller of the two screw fittings and often marked SES. Check the old bulb for a narrow screw thread rather than the wider E27.

How bright is 806 lumens for a candle bulb?

Bright for the shape. The pack gives it as a 60W replacement, where many candle lamps sit nearer 470 lumens, roughly the output of an old 40W filament bulb.

Can I use it on a dimmer switch?

Yes, it is dimmable. As with any LED lamp, useful dimming usually begins part way up the dial, and the dimmer itself should be one rated for LED loads.

What does 2,700K warm white actually look like?

A soft, yellow-leaning white, close to the filament bulbs most people grew up with. It flatters wood, warm paint colours and skin tones in a living room.

Is an IP rating given for this bulb?

No IP figure is printed on the retail pack or given in the specification, so this lamp carries no stated protection rating against dust or moisture.

How many bulbs come in a box, and is there a minimum order?

Each box contains a single bulb. The minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, so the smallest order brings you twelve bulbs in twelve boxes.
