What is the led candelabra bulb?

A candelabra bulb is a light bulb that looks like a candle. But it won’t reach its utmost lifespan as fast as a real candle. For those who pursue the vintage candle shape, but hate replacing candles all the time, a candelabra bulb is beyond doubt the best option.
 
While the life of the candelabra bulb also varies according to the material used to build the bulb itself. Just like any other light bulb in different shapes, there are incandescent and led candelabra bulbs and the two are also mostly used in today’s life. However, the LED candelabra bulb is becoming the trend as it lasts longer than an incandescent candelabra bulb. And it’s also wise to choose led candelabra bulbs which are made to consume one-tenth of electricity when emitting the same brightness as incandescent bulbs do.



 

What is the led candelabra bulb used for?

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear someone talk about interior lighting? A floor lamp next to a sofa? A chandelier pendant light for the living room? Or a vanity wall light for applying makeup? Maybe it’s all the above. And mostly, you will find candelabra bulbs in all the above occasions and even more, for instance, in the ceiling fan and a night lamp.

One of the popular applications of candelabra bulbs is ceiling fans. Especially in a rustic style ceiling fan presenting subtle farmhouse and vintage details. An LED filament candelabra bulb could not only well blend with a vintage ceiling fan but also add a great addition to the whole look.
 

Candelabra bulbs for wall light

While if you have a crystal wall light with golden sockets, a candelabra bulb with 3000K color temperature is an ideal option to elevate and shine the light for you. You could also choose a candelabra bulb that has a tail at the top of the light bulb which looks even more like a real candle.
 

Candelabra bulbs for night light

Decorative lighting can with no problem be functional as well. Another application of a candelabra bulb is the night light fixture. Some night light fixture is designed with a lamp socket to hold a light bulb which is an economical design that allows you to replace the bulb if the original one blows out.


 

Things to consider when selecting candelabra bulbs


Bulb base and shape

Candelabra bulbs like other light bulbs have different light bulb bases, but the most common types are E12 and E26 base. Generally, “E” stands for Edison screw-in base, and 12 means that the diameter of the lamp base is 12mm. Candelabra E12 bulbs are used in small lamps, such as string lights, shelf lighting, and night lights. But it is still necessary to measure the exact size of the lamp base to choose the right bulb base.  
 

Dimmer compatibility

Incandescent candelabra bulbs and led ones can be both dimmable. While before the cost of led bulbs reducing, incandescent bulbs are widely used. If you are considering replacing a dimmable incandescent candelabra, you will need to check if the dimmer is compatible with led bulbs. If the bulbs are not compatible with the dimmer, you will be greeted with a loud pop. So test the dimmer first for your safety!
 

Color temperature

Led bulbs outperform other candelabra bulbs with wide color temperature selections. If you are going to get new bulbs for your living room chandeliers, warm white 3000Kor daylight white 5000K are the popular options. While for a night light, 2700K warm color will do better in creating a cozy vibe to help you get sleepy while still offer light to help you feel safe. So make clear of what color temperature you would like for specific space to save your time in replacing the bulbs again and again.
 

Multifunctional led candelabra bulbs

As production techniques go on day on and day out in the led lighting industry, multifunctional led candelabra bulbs are gaining more and more attention. An led candelabra light bulb could not only be functional but also fill your house with a cool feel. For example, you are able to control a smart candelabra bulb by talking to Siri or Alexa or by a 2.4G remote control to set the light on and off. Some smart bulbs also allow you to control the color temperature and brightness. Definitely, a good choice if you are tired of thinking about what brightness or color temperature to choose.
