E14 LED Filament Candle Bulb 4W 470lm - Warm White 2700K, 2 Pack

A candle bulb with four LED filaments running up clear glass, drawing 4W and giving 470 lumens at 2700K. The cap is E14, the small screw fitting often written as SES, which is the 14mm threaded cap used on most chandeliers, wall lights and small table lamps. The pack rates it as equal to a 40W conventional candle, so it is a straight swap for an older candle bulb of that output. The glass is clear rather than opal, so the filaments are part of the look, and it runs on a standard 220-240V mains supply.

Clear candle bulbs earn their place where the fitting is on show: a multi-arm chandelier over a dining table, wall lights either side of a fireplace, or a small shade on a hall table. The 280 degree beam spreads light almost the whole way round the bulb rather than throwing it forward, so it fills a shade evenly and sits comfortably in an open glass fitting. Warm white at 2700K is the yellow-leaning tone people know from older incandescent lighting, and it suits sitting rooms and dining rooms better than the crisper 4000K and 6500K versions.

The specification states non-dimmable, so put it on a plain switch: a non-dimmable lamp on a dimmer circuit can flicker or buzz. It is rated IP20, meaning ordinary indoor fittings and no protection against water. The energy label reads class E at 4 kWh per 1000 hours, and the pack prints a 10 year lamp life. One box holds two bulbs, and the minimum order is 6 boxes, sold in multiples of 6, which is useful when re-lamping a chandelier in one go. Our wider range also holds B15 (SBC) LED candle and golf bulbs in warm white, cool white and daylight.

How do I know if my light takes E14?

Take the old bulb out and look at the cap. E14 is a threaded screw cap roughly 14mm across, smaller than the common E27 and larger than the E12 used on some imported fittings.

What wattage of old bulb does this replace?

The pack rates the 4W lamp as equal to a 40W conventional candle, and it gives 470 lumens, so it suits fittings that previously held a 40W incandescent or halogen candle.

Can I run it on a dimmer switch?

No. The specification states non-dimmable, so use it on a standard on and off switch. Fitting a non-dimmable lamp to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker, buzzing or early failure.

What does 2700K warm white actually look like?

It is a soft yellow-leaning white, close to the tone of an old incandescent bulb. It flatters warm paint, wood and fabric, and reads as restful in the evening.

Will the filaments look right in an open fitting?

The glass is clear, so the four filaments are on view, which suits chandeliers and lanterns. With a 280 degree spread the light carries almost all the way round rather than forward.

How many bulbs do I receive?

Each box holds two bulbs. The minimum order on this listing is 6 boxes, sold in multiples of 6, which gives you twelve bulbs at a time for larger fittings.
