The decorative range of MASTER LED candle light bulbs from Philips is designed to bridge the gap between traditional aesthetics and modern efficiency.The dimmable 5.5W option pictured here is designed to replace a 40W filament candle light bulb. It does so seamlessly, consuming a fraction of the power but producing an incandescent sparkling effect that is reminiscent of the original light bulb.With this in mind, it will retrofit directly to any existing SES-E14 small Edison screw (14mm) fixture; whether that be in large-scale commercial installations such as chandeliers or wall sconces, or in smaller domestic applications.The LED candle light bulb\'s unique design delivers a whole slew of benefits, from desirable aesthetics that work just as effectively when the light bulb is turned off, to excellent efficiency and even light distribution. Traditional light bulbs have a tendency to shift towards a warmer colour as they dim, while LED traditionally maintains the same colour. DimTone technology successfully mimics this behaviour by dimming from 2700K to 2200K when dimmed while delivering all the efficiencies and reduced maintenance costs associated with LED.The light bulb boasts a 25,000 hour rated lifetime and level of efficiency that is leagues ahead of the incandescent light bulbs that came before it (in some cases reducing lighting bills by up to 90%) - all in a package that looks just as good, if not better, than those it is intended to replace.This Candle is a newer product from Philips and supercedes their old Candle part codes: 8718696453506.Please visit the manufacturer\'s website for up-to-date dimmer switch compatibility lists for this Philips LED Candle light bulb before purchase.To find the answers to some common questions about LED dimming, please read our guide Dimming for Dummies.Need more help in choosing a suitable light bulb?
