Description
The Eveready LED candle bulb delivers 470 lumens from a 4.9W LED element inside a classic candle-shaped frosted glass envelope, fitted with a B22 bayonet cap for standard UK light fittings. The 6500K colour temperature produces a cool daylight white light that mimics natural daylight, making it well-suited to task-focused environments where clarity and contrast matter.
Designed as a direct replacement for traditional 40W incandescent candle bulbs, this LED version uses approximately 88% less energy while providing comparable brightness. The twin pack format suits rooms with paired wall lights, chandeliers, or multiple pendant fittings where bulbs are replaced together. The B22 bayonet cap fits most UK domestic light fittings manufactured from the 1920s onwards, including ceiling roses, wall brackets, and table lamp holders.
The 280-degree beam angle spreads light across a wide arc from the bulb, reducing shadowing in multi-bulb fittings. The frosted glass diffuses the LED element so the light source itself is not visible when lit, giving a softer appearance than clear candle bulbs. Eveready rates the bulb for a 10-year lifespan based on average domestic usage of 2.7 hours per day, and the LED construction is mercury-free. The bulb is non-dimmable and should not be paired with dimmer switches.

Frequently Asked
What wattage incandescent bulb does this replace?
The 4.9W LED output is equivalent to a traditional 40W incandescent candle bulb in brightness, but uses approximately 88% less energy. The 470 lumens output is the comparable metric between the two technologies.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No. This bulb is non-dimmable and should not be used with dimmer switches. Attempting to dim a non-dimmable LED can cause flickering, buzzing, or premature failure.
What colour is the light?
The 6500K colour temperature produces a cool daylight white light, similar to natural daylight at midday. This is brighter and bluer than warm white (2700K-3000K) and is typically used in kitchens, bathrooms, workspaces, and reading areas where task visibility is important.
Will this fit my existing light fitting?
The B22 bayonet cap is the standard UK bulb fitting used in most domestic light fittings manufactured from the 1920s onwards. If your existing bulb has two pins on either side of the metal base that twist and lock into the socket, this bulb will fit.
