Description
This is an LED candle bulb with an opal finish and an E14 cap, the small screw cap that so many decorative lights take. It draws 4.9W from the mains and gives a warm 2700K light, the gentle, golden tone that suits evening rooms. The opal finish softens the LEDs into an even glow, so you see a smooth, rounded shape rather than bright points of light. It carries energy class F, and as a mains voltage bulb it goes straight into a standard light that takes an E14 cap.
Candle bulbs belong in chandeliers, wall lights, ceiling lights with several arms and small table or bedside lamps, anywhere the bulb is on show and the shape matters. We think they make most sense when you are replacing a set: with every arm of a chandelier fitted from the same pack, the colour and glow match from one bulb to the next, which a mix of old bulbs rarely manages. The warm 2700K light flatters living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms, where a cooler light can feel harsh after dark. Because the finish is opal rather than clear, the bulbs sit happily in open shades and bare candle holders, where a clear bulb would show its workings.
The bulb has the classic pointed candle shape, with an opal top over a white base and a silver-coloured screw cap. Each one carries the same 4.9W, 2700K and energy class F, which is what keeps a set looking even. Before you order, check that your light takes an E14 cap and has room for a candle shape; a larger cap will not fit an E14 holder, and a different shape can look out of place in a fitting designed around candles. With that settled, each bulb screws straight into place and the light is ready at the flick of a switch.

Frequently Asked
Which cap does this bulb have?
It has an E14 cap, the small screw cap found on many chandeliers, wall lights and small lamps, so check your holder matches.
What colour is the light?
It gives a warm 2700K light, a soft, golden tone that suits living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms in the evening.
How much power does each bulb draw?
Each bulb draws 4.9W and carries energy class F, running directly from mains voltage like a standard household bulb.
Will the LEDs be visible through the bulb?
No, the opal finish diffuses the LEDs into an even glow, so the bulb looks smooth and softly lit rather than spotty.
Which lights suit a candle bulb?
Chandeliers, multi-arm ceiling lights, wall lights and small table or bedside lamps that take an E14 cap and show the bulb all suit it.
