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

A candle bulb on the small screw E14 cap, drawing 7.3W and giving 806 lumens of warm white light at 2700K. The retail pack rates it as a replacement for a 60W filament candle, which makes it the one to reach for where an older bulb was working hard, such as a five arm chandelier over a dining table. The body is white and opaque rather than clear, so light comes off the whole surface instead of one bright point, which is kinder on the eye when the bulb sits below head height in an open shade.

E14 is the smaller of the two screw caps, and it is what most chandeliers, candelabra wall lights, small table lamps and many cooker hood fittings take. If you are replacing something and are not certain, look at the old bulb: an E14 thread measures about 14mm across, an E27 about 27mm, and a bayonet cap has two pins rather than a thread. The beam angle is 240 degrees, so light leaves the bulb in almost every direction instead of a forward cone, which suits upward-facing candle arms and glass shades where you want the whole fitting to glow.

It is not dimmable, so pair it with a plain on and off switch; on a dimmer circuit an LED like this can flicker or buzz, and the pack carries the non-dimming symbol. The energy rating is E, and the bulb is rated IP20 for dry indoor use. The pack prints a 15 year lifespan alongside a 15,000 hour figure. Each box holds one bulb and we sell in multiples of twelve, so twelve is the smallest order, which is useful when you are relamping a whole chandelier at once. It sits alongside our wider range of LED bulbs, including candle shapes on the B15 (SBC) cap and dimmable cool white 4000K versions.

Which light fittings take an E14 cap?

E14 is the small screw cap found on most chandeliers, candelabra wall lights, smaller table lamps and many cooker hood fittings. Check the old bulb: the thread measures around 14mm across, against 27mm for an E27.

Is 806 lumens bright enough to replace an old 60W candle bulb?

The pack rates this 7.3W bulb as a 60W replacement, and 806 lumens is at the brighter end for a candle shape, so a multi arm fitting can end up noticeably livelier than it was with filament bulbs.

Can I put it on a dimmer switch?

No. It is non-dimmable and the pack carries the non-dimming symbol, so keep it on a plain on and off switch. On a dimmer it may flicker, buzz or fail to light at all.

What does 2700K warm white look like once it is lit?

It is the soft yellow-toned white people associate with old filament lamps, flattering on wood, brass and warm paint colours, rather than the crisper blue-white of a 4000K or 6500K lamp.

Does the 240 degree beam angle matter?

It means light spreads almost all the way round the bulb instead of firing forward, so an open shade, a lantern or an upward-facing candle arm is lit evenly rather than leaving dark patches.

How many bulbs will I receive?

One bulb per box, and these are sold in multiples of twelve, so the smallest order is twelve boxes and therefore twelve bulbs. That suits relamping a whole fitting or keeping spares on hand.
