Description
The Eveready 4W LED candle bulb is a B22 bayonet-cap retrofit bulb with a clear glass envelope housing four visible LED filaments arranged vertically inside a traditional candle-shaped shell. The bulb outputs 470 lumens at 2700K warm white, delivering the same light level as a 40W incandescent bulb whilst drawing only 4W from the mains.
Designed for table lamps, wall lights and chandeliers that take exposed candle bulbs, the clear glass and filament arrangement give the appearance of a traditional incandescent when lit, making the bulb suitable for decorative fittings where the bulb itself is visible. The B22 bayonet fitting is a push-and-twist cap that fits standard UK lamp holders without needing an adaptor. The 280-degree beam angle provides wide light distribution across a room without creating focused hot spots.
The bulb is rated for a 10-year lifespan under typical household use (approximately 10,000 hours at an average of 2.7 hours per day) and can handle over 8,000 on-off switching cycles, making it suitable for frequently-switched locations such as hallway lights and table lamps controlled by a switch at the base. The construction is mercury-free and carries an E energy rating under the revised EU energy labelling scale introduced in 2021.
This bulb is non-dimmable. Pairing it with a dimmer switch will cause flickering or failure. For dimmable variants in the same form factor, search for alternative Eveready models marked as dimmable-compatible.

Frequently Asked
Is this bulb dimmable?
No. This is a non-dimmable LED bulb. Using it with a dimmer switch will cause flickering, buzzing or complete failure. For dimmable candle bulbs, search for Eveready or other brands marked as dimmer-compatible.
What does 470 lumens equate to in old incandescent terms?
470 lumens is approximately the same light output as a 40W incandescent bulb. This makes the Eveready 4W LED candle suitable for table lamps, bedside lights and decorative wall fittings where moderate ambient light is needed rather than high-intensity task lighting.
Will this fit my existing light fitting?
The bulb uses a B22 bayonet cap, which is the standard UK fitting for most domestic lamps and ceiling lights. If your current bulb has a bayonet fitting (push-and-twist to remove), this bulb will fit. The 40mm diameter and 98mm height fit most standard candle shades and holders.
How long does it last?
Eveready rate this bulb for 10 years under typical household use, which equates to approximately 10,000 hours. It also supports over 8,000 switching cycles, so it will not fail prematurely in locations where lights are switched on and off frequently throughout the day.
