Description
This is a 4.9W LED candle bulb with an E14 small screw cap, the narrow threaded fitting often written as SES. It gives 470 lumens at 6,500K, a crisp daylight white, and the pack puts it level with a conventional 40W candle bulb for brightness while drawing under 5W from the mains. The body is white rather than clear, so the light spreads instead of picking out a bright filament point, and the beam angle is a broad 280 degrees. Each box contains two bulbs.
E14 candle bulbs are the standard fit for chandeliers, wall lights, small pendants and the slim shades on bedside and table lamps, so one box usually covers a pair of fittings. Daylight at 6,500K is the coolest white in common household use: it reads bright and slightly blue beside warm white, which suits kitchens, utility rooms, home offices, workshops and reading lamps where you want to see detail and true colour. In a bedroom or sitting room where you want a softer, yellower glow, a warm white version of the same lamp is the better pick. The IP20 rating means dry indoor fittings only.
This lamp is not dimmable, so it wants a plain on/off switch; a non-dimmable LED on a dimmer circuit can flicker, hum or refuse to light at all, so check the switch before you buy. The pack prints a 10 year lamp life, and the energy label puts it in class F. It runs on 220 to 240V mains with no driver or transformer to add. Boxes are sold in multiples of six, so the smallest order is six boxes, twelve bulbs in all, which is worth knowing if you are relamping a whole chandelier at once or putting spares away. It sits alongside our wider range of LED candle and golf bulbs in warm white, cool white and daylight.

Frequently Asked
Which fittings take this bulb?
It has an E14 small screw cap, the slim threaded base used on most chandeliers, wall lights and small pendants. Unscrew the old bulb and check the thread measures roughly 14mm across.
How bright is 470 lumens, and what does it replace?
470 lumens is a normal brightness for a candle lamp, and the pack rates it as a match for a conventional 40W candle bulb. It uses 4.9W to do that.
Can I use it on a dimmer switch?
No. The specification lists this lamp as non-dimmable, so it needs a plain on/off switch. A non-dimmable LED on a dimmer may flicker, buzz or fail to light.
What does 6,500K daylight look like next to warm white?
It is a crisp, slightly blue white rather than a yellow one, closer to overcast daylight. Alongside a 2700K or 3000K bulb it will look noticeably cooler and brighter.
Does it need a driver or transformer?
No. It runs directly from 220 to 240V mains electricity, so it goes straight into an existing E14 lampholder with nothing extra added to the circuit.
How many bulbs do I receive, and is there a minimum order?
Each box holds two bulbs. Boxes are sold in multiples of six, so the smallest order is six boxes, which works out at twelve bulbs.
