Description
The JCB 4.9W LED candle bulb delivers 470 lumens of warm white 3000K light through a B15 small bayonet cap fitting. The 4.9W consumption replaces traditional 40W incandescent candle bulbs, cutting energy use by 87% while providing equivalent light output. The frosted candle-shaped glass diffuses the LED chip evenly across the 180-degree beam angle.
Designed for decorative lighting in chandeliers, wall sconces, table lamps and pendant lights that use B15 fittings, the bulb suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways where a warm ambient glow is needed. The 37mm diameter and 100mm height fit standard candle shades and exposed-bulb fittings without protruding beyond the shade edge. The non-dimmable driver provides stable output on standard switched circuits.
The 3000K warm white colour temperature sits in the same range as traditional incandescent bulbs, giving a soft yellowish tone that suits residential interiors and hospitality settings. The frosted glass finish hides the internal LED chip, making the bulb visually closer to a traditional filament candle when viewed directly. At 30g the bulb is light enough for multi-bulb chandeliers without stressing older fittings.
JCB rates the bulb for 15,000 hours of operation at full brightness, which translates to approximately ten years at three hours per day. The B15 small bayonet cap clicks into the socket with a quarter-turn, making bulb replacement straightforward without tools. The bulb operates on standard 220-240V UK mains voltage.

Frequently Asked
What does B15 mean and where is it used?
B15 is a small bayonet cap fitting, also called SBC. It's common in UK decorative lighting including chandeliers, wall sconces, and candelabra-style table lamps. The base is 15mm in diameter and fits by pushing and twisting a quarter-turn clockwise.
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This is a non-dimmable LED bulb and will not function correctly on a dimmer circuit. Attempting to dim a non-dimmable LED can cause flickering, buzzing, or premature failure. For dimmer compatibility, choose a bulb specifically labelled as dimmable.
How does 470 lumens compare to a traditional bulb?
470 lumens is equivalent to a 40W incandescent candle bulb. The 4.9W LED draws significantly less power while producing the same light output, cutting running costs by approximately 87%.
What colour is the light?
3000K is warm white, giving a soft yellowish glow similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas where a cosy ambiance is wanted rather than task lighting.
