Description
The Eveready LED candle bulb is a 4.9W B22 bayonet-cap bulb producing 470 lumens at 3000K warm white. Shaped to fit decorative fittings where the bulb is visible — chandeliers, wall sconces, candelabra-style table lamps — the candle profile tapers to a rounded tip that mimics the shape of traditional incandescent candles without the heat or energy draw.
This pack contains six bulbs, allowing multiple fittings to be upgraded in one purchase. Each bulb draws 4.9W on 220-240V mains, replacing 40W incandescent candles at approximately one-eighth of the power consumption. The B22 bayonet fitting works with standard UK and Commonwealth light sockets, requiring a quarter-turn push-and-twist motion to install and remove.
The 470-lumen output provides functional ambient light for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where the candle shape is part of the fixture design. The 3000K warm white sits between the yellow glow of old tungsten bulbs and the cooler white of daylight-rated LEDs, giving a neutral warmth that works across traditional and contemporary interiors. The bulbs are non-dimmable, rated energy class F under current UK labelling, and carry a claimed 10-year lifespan based on typical domestic usage patterns.
Each bulb is mercury-free, produces minimal UV output, and reaches full brightness instantly on switching without the warm-up delay of compact fluorescents. The frosted candle cover diffuses the internal LED chip, preventing glare when the bulb is viewed directly in open or semi-open fixtures.

Frequently Asked
Are these bulbs dimmable?
No. These are non-dimmable LED bulbs and should not be used with dimmer switches. Attempting to dim non-dimmable LEDs typically causes flickering, buzzing, or premature failure. If you need dimmable candle bulbs, search for "dimmable B22 candle" in the Niori catalogue.
What wattage incandescent do they replace?
These 4.9W LED bulbs produce 470 lumens, which is equivalent to a 40W incandescent candle bulb. The energy saving is approximately 88% compared to the old tungsten equivalent.
How long do they last?
Eveready rates these bulbs at a 10-year lifespan based on typical domestic usage patterns (approximately 3 hours per day). Actual lifespan varies depending on how many hours per day the bulb is switched on and the number of on-off cycles.
Can they be used in enclosed fittings?
Yes. These LED bulbs produce minimal heat compared to incandescent candles and can be used in fully enclosed glass or metal shades without overheating concerns. Ensure the fitting allows some air circulation for optimal bulb lifespan.
