E14 (SES) LED Candle Bulb 4.9W 470lm - Cool White 4000K - Eveready

This is a 4.9W LED candle bulb with an E14 cap, the small screw fitting often written as SES. It puts out 470 lumens, which the pack rates as the equal of a conventional 40W candle bulb, and it runs at 4,000K, a cool white with a clean, slightly blue-leaning cast rather than the yellow of an old filament lamp. The glass is a smooth frosted candle shape with a plain tapered tip, so the light spreads evenly instead of showing a hot spot. Its beam angle is 280 degrees, close to all round, and the pack prints a 10-year lamp life.

Candle bulbs earn their keep in chandeliers, multi-arm pendants, wall lights and candelabra-style table lamps, where the shape is part of what you see. Cool white at 4,000K is a working light rather than a relaxing one, so it suits a kitchen, a hallway, a home office or a landing where you want colours read accurately and the room to feel awake. In a sitting room or bedroom, most people prefer a warmer 3,000K. Check the cap before you buy: E14 is the narrower of the two common screw caps, about the width of a pencil, while E27 is noticeably chunkier.

Dimming is not supported, so pair it with a standard on and off switch; non-dimmable LEDs can flicker or hum on a dimmer circuit. The energy label puts it in class F and measures 5kWh per 1,000 hours of use. Each listing is a single boxed bulb, and the minimum order is 5, sold in multiples of 5, which makes it straightforward to do a whole fitting at once. Eveready also lists B15 (SBC) candle bulbs at 4.9W and 470lm in warm white 3000K, cool white 4000K and daylight 6500K if your fitting takes the small bayonet cap instead.

Will this fit my chandelier or wall light?

It fits any holder taking an E14 small screw cap, also called SES. Unscrew the old bulb and check the thread is about the width of a pencil rather than the wider E27.

Is 470 lumens as bright as the 40W candle bulb it replaces?

The pack rates it as the equal of a conventional 40W candle, so in a multi-arm fitting the overall light level should feel much the same while drawing 4.9W.

Can I put it on a dimmer switch?

No. The specification lists it as non-dimmable, so it needs a plain on and off switch. On a dimmer circuit a non-dimmable LED can flicker, hum or fail to strike.

What does 4,000K cool white actually look like?

It is a clean, neutral-to-cool light with no yellow tint, good for kitchens, halls and desks. If you want a cosier glow, choose a 3,000K version instead.

Does the wide beam angle matter with an open shade?

Yes. At 280 degrees the light throws almost all round, so a bare or open candle fitting will look evenly lit rather than bright at the tip and dark below.

How many bulbs will I receive?

Each listing is one boxed bulb. The minimum order is 5, sold in multiples of 5, so the smallest purchase brings you five individual bulbs.
