JCB 3W LED Candle Bulb B22 - Warm White 3000K Non-Dimmable

The JCB 3W LED candle bulb delivers 250 lumens of warm white light at 3000K through a B22 bayonet cap fitting. The bulb draws 3W on mains power, providing the light output equivalent to a traditional 25W incandescent candle bulb whilst consuming 88% less energy. The candle profile measures 37mm wide by 100mm tall, sized to fit decorative light fittings without protruding beyond the shade or frame.

Designed for bedside lamps, wall sconces, candelabras and smaller chandeliers where the bulb remains visible once fitted, the candle shape provides a traditional silhouette behind decorative shades. The 180° beam angle spreads light widely from the bulb, making it suitable for multi-bulb fittings where even ambient coverage is needed rather than focused spot light. The B22 bayonet cap pushes and twists into standard UK bayonet sockets.

The bulb is non-dimmable and operates at fixed brightness on standard switched circuits. The 3000K warm white colour temperature sits between the amber tone of old filament bulbs and the cooler daylight whites, providing comfortable ambient light for bedrooms, hallways and living rooms without the blue-white cast of higher Kelvin ratings. The frosted candle envelope diffuses the LED chip inside, preventing glare when viewed directly.

JCB LED bulbs carry a 10-year manufacturer guarantee against failure under normal domestic use. The bulb achieves energy rating G under the updated 2021 EU energy label scale, which rates all LED technology lower than the previous A++ scale to account for future efficiency improvements.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No. This bulb is non-dimmable and operates at fixed brightness. Installing it on a dimmer circuit will either prevent it working or may damage the bulb. For dimmable candle bulbs, see the separate JCB dimmable range at Niori.

What fitting does it use?

The bulb uses a B22 bayonet cap, also called BC or bayonet fitting. This is the standard UK push-and-twist socket found in most domestic light fittings. It is not compatible with E14 or E27 screw fittings.

How bright is 250 lumens?

250 lumens is equivalent to a traditional 25W incandescent candle bulb. This level suits bedside lamps, decorative wall lights and multi-bulb chandeliers where softer ambient light is needed rather than task or reading brightness.

What colour temperature is warm white?

This bulb emits light at 3000K, which sits in the warm white range. It produces a soft yellowish-white tone similar to halogen bulbs, warmer than daylight whites (4000K+) but cooler than the deep amber of old filament bulbs (2700K).
