Description
The XLED is an E14 LED bulb in the classic C35 candle shape, drawing 4.5W to produce 470 lumens of warm white light at 2700K. Its small Edison screw cap fits standard E14 fittings used across the UK, while shoppers in the US will know this size as the candelabra base, where the local E12 equivalent serves the same chandelier and sconce role. A wide 320 degree beam spreads light almost all the way around the bulb, suiting it to open, exposed-lamp fixtures where the candle form is meant to be seen. With 104 lm/W efficiency it replaces a much higher-wattage incandescent candle while running far cooler.
The XLED works best in fittings that show the bulb off, such as chandeliers, candelabra-style ceiling lights, wall brackets and decorative table or floor lamps. The 2700K warm white tone gives a soft, cosy light that flatters living rooms, dining areas, hallways and bedrooms rather than task spaces. At 470 lumens a single bulb adds a gentle pool of accent light, so several are usually grouped on a multi-arm fitting to build up the level in a room. The near all-round 320 degree spread means it casts light evenly into a fitting rather than throwing a narrow shaft in one direction.
The bulb measures just Ø35 by 97 mm and weighs only 16 grams, keeping it neat in slim candle holders and unobtrusive on exposed arms. The transparent finish over the C35 envelope gives a clear, sparkling look when lit. It is not dimmable, so it should be used on a standard non-dimming circuit, and it carries an Ra 80 colour rendering with a rated life of 15,000 hours. The wider XLED range from Kanlux includes other caps and shapes if you need to match bulbs across a fitting.

Frequently Asked
What fitting does this bulb use?
It has an E14 small Edison screw cap, the standard small screw fitting used widely in the UK. In the US this size is known as a candelabra base, so check your fitting takes E14 rather than the local E12 thread.
What wattage does it replace?
At 4.5W it produces 470 lumens, which is roughly equivalent to a traditional 40W incandescent candle bulb. The 104 lm/W efficiency means you get the same warm glow for a fraction of the energy.
Can this bulb be dimmed?
No, this version is not dimmable and should be used on a standard non-dimming circuit. Fitting it to a dimmer switch may cause flicker or shorten its life.
What is the rated lifespan?
The bulb is rated for 15,000 hours of use. In a typical living room or hallway fitting that equates to many years of service before replacement is needed.
