XLED 2.5W E14 Candle Filament Bulb 320° 135lm - Warm White

The XLED is an E14 candle LED bulb in the classic C35 flame shape, fitting the Small Edison Screw (SES) cap. It draws just 2.5 W yet gives 135 lumens of 1800K super warm white light, the deep amber glow associated with traditional incandescent candle lamps. Inside the clear glass sit visible LED filaments for the vintage look, and a wide 320 degree beam spreads the light evenly around the bulb rather than throwing it in one direction. Many US buyers know the candle shape as a candelabra lamp, though the standard candelabra cap there is E12, so check the holder takes E14 before ordering.

Because the tone is so warm and the output modest, this bulb suits decorative fittings where atmosphere matters more than working brightness: chandeliers, wall brackets, pendant clusters, hallway lanterns and dining-room fittings with exposed lamps. The 320 degree spread and clear glass make it a good fit for open or shaded fittings where the filaments are on show. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor position. As a low-output lamp it is best read as accent and mood lighting rather than a primary room source, so pair several across a multi-lamp fitting for an even, low-glare wash.

The bulb measures 35 mm in diameter by 123 mm long and weighs only 14 g, with a CRI of Ra 80 for natural-looking colour and a rated life of 15,000 hours. It runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains direct from the E14 holder with no transformer needed, and at 2.5 W returns an efficiency of 54 lm/W. Note this is a non-dimmable lamp, so it should be used on a standard switched circuit rather than a dimmer. The amber filament finish is also available across the wider XLED range in other shapes and caps for matching fittings throughout a room.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

What fitting does this bulb need?

It has an E14 cap, also called Small Edison Screw or SES, which is the smaller of the two screw fittings common in the UK. Check that your fitting takes E14 rather than the larger E27 before ordering. In the US the candle shape is sold as a candelabra lamp, but the standard cap there is E12, so this E14 version needs the matching holder.

What old-style bulb wattage does it match?

This is a low-output decorative lamp giving 135 lumens at 1800K super warm white, so it is brighter than a small night-style candle but well below a general-purpose bulb. The very warm amber tone is designed to recreate the look of a traditional filament candle rather than to light a whole room. Use several in a multi-lamp fitting where you want that soft, atmospheric glow.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable bulb and should be used on a standard switched circuit. Fitting it to a dimmer switch may cause flicker or buzzing and can shorten its life. If you need adjustable brightness, choose a lamp listed as dimmable instead.

Can I use it outdoors or in a bathroom?

No, it is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only and has no protection against moisture. Keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location. It is intended for indoor decorative fittings such as chandeliers, wall lights and pendants.
