Description
The Eveready 4.9W LED candle bulb delivers 470 lumens of 4000K cool white light through a B15 small bayonet cap base. At 4.9W power draw, it produces equivalent output to a 40W halogen candle bulb while running five times cooler and consuming 87% less energy. The 280-degree beam angle spreads light across a wide field, making it suitable for multi-bulb chandeliers and wall sconces where even coverage is needed.
Designed for decorative light fittings in living rooms, dining rooms, hallways and bedrooms, the bulb's candle profile fits traditional and contemporary lampshades that call for a B15 base. The 4000K colour temperature sits between warm white and daylight, producing a neutral, clean light that works well in kitchens, bathrooms and utility areas where colour accuracy and clarity matter. The bulb is non-dimmable and requires a standard on-off switch circuit.
Rated for 10,000 hours or approximately 10 years at 3 hours daily use, the LED chip and driver are enclosed in a 110mm tall polycarbonate shell that weighs just 30g. The bulb tolerates over 12,000 switching cycles, meaning it can be turned on and off multiple times a day without shortening lifespan. Mercury-free construction and an F energy rating reflect current EU standards for LED bulbs in this wattage bracket.

Frequently Asked
What does B15 mean?
B15 is a small bayonet cap, also known as SBC. It has a 15mm diameter base with two pins that lock into the lamp holder with a push-and-twist action. This is smaller than the more common B22 bayonet found in most UK ceiling lights.
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This bulb is non-dimmable and must only be used on standard on-off switching circuits. Fitting it to a dimmer switch may cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What is 4000K cool white light like?
4000K sits between warm white (2700-3000K) and daylight (5000-6500K). It produces a neutral, clean white light with no yellow or blue tint, commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces where clarity and colour accuracy are valued over warmth.
How long does the bulb last?
The bulb is rated for 10,000 hours. At 3 hours of daily use, that equates to approximately 10 years of service. The bulb also tolerates over 12,000 switching cycles, so frequent on-off use does not significantly reduce lifespan.
