Description
The XLED candle is a filament LED bulb in the classic C35 flame shape, fitting a standard E14 Small Edison Screw (SES) holder. It draws just 3.4 W yet gives 470 lumens, a brightness that stands in for an old 40 W incandescent candle bulb while using a fraction of the power. American buyers will know the E14 fitting as the European candelabra cap, slightly larger than the E12 base common on US chandeliers. The 2700K tone is a warm white that reads close to traditional filament light, and the wide 320 degree beam angle spreads light around the bulb rather than throwing it in one direction.
Because the light comes from visible LED filaments behind clear glass, this bulb suits open fittings where the lamp itself is on show: chandeliers, candelabra-style ceiling pieces, wall brackets and pendants in living rooms, dining areas and hallways. The near all-round 320 degree spread makes it well matched to multi-arm fittings where each bulb is seen from several angles, and the warm 2700K colour with Ra 80 rendering keeps furnishings and skin tones looking natural. Rated IP20, it is for dry indoor use only and should be kept out of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.
The bulb measures Ø35 by 123 mm and weighs only 13 g, with a transparent glass envelope that shows the vintage filament arrangement. It runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains direct through the E14 cap, so no transformer or driver is needed, and it is rated for 25,000 hours of use. This is a non-dimmable lamp, so it should be paired with a standard non-dimming switch. The XLED range covers several caps and shapes if you need matching bulbs elsewhere in the home.

Frequently Asked
Which fitting does this bulb need?
It has an E14 cap, also called Small Edison Screw or SES, which is the smaller of the two common screw fittings. It twists into any standard E14 holder, the size used on most candle-style chandeliers and wall lights. US buyers should note E14 is the European candelabra cap, a little larger than the E12 base.
What wattage of old bulb does it replace?
The LED itself draws only 3.4 W but produces 470 lumens, which is roughly the output of a 40 W incandescent candle bulb. So it gives similar brightness for far less energy. The 40 W figure is an equivalence only; the actual power used is 3.4 W.
Can it be dimmed?
No, this is a non-dimmable bulb and should be used on a standard on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or buzzing and may shorten its life. If you need dimming, choose a lamp specified as dimmable.
What does the filament design and warm white tone look like?
The clear glass shows visible LED filaments for a vintage, traditional-bulb appearance, which works well in fittings where the lamp is on display. The 2700K colour is a warm white close to old filament lighting, and the Ra 80 rendering keeps colours looking natural. The wide 320 degree beam spreads light evenly around the bulb.
