Full details
The Eveready Candle Light Bulbs are ideal for homeowners or lighting enthusiasts looking to achieve a classic, soft-glow aesthetic in decorative lamps or chandeliers. These 25W bulbs provide a balanced, diffused light thanks to their opal finish, making them perfect for creating a warm atmosphere in living rooms or bedrooms. While they offer excellent value as a 10-pack, it is important to note that these are standard incandescent-style bulbs and are not as energy-efficient as modern LED alternatives.

FAQs
Are these bulbs dimmable?
These bulbs are generally compatible with standard dimmers, but check your dimmer switch documentation for incandescent load requirements.
What does ES E27 mean?
It refers to the Edison Screw cap size; E27 is the standard large screw base used in most home lighting fixtures.
Can I use these in a bathroom?
These are not rated for wet or damp conditions; use only in dry indoor locations.
How long do these bulbs last?
As standard incandescent-style bulbs, they offer consistent light quality, but their lifespan is typically shorter than modern LED bulbs.
Is the light warm or cool?
The opal finish produces a soft, warm-looking glow characteristic of traditional candle-style bulbs.
Are these bulbs LED?
No, these are traditional candle bulbs; they are distinct from LED options.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the bulb is screwed fully into the socket and check that the circuit breaker or wall switch is on.
Flickering light
Check that the bulb is tightened securely in the socket; if flickering persists, the fixture's internal contact point may need inspection.
Bulb surface feels hot
This is normal for 25W incandescent bulbs, but ensure the bulb is not touching any flammable material or shade fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the power to your light fixture is turned off. Carefully screw the bulb clockwise into an ES E27 socket until secure—do not overtighten. Before handling, always wait for a used bulb to cool down, as these 25W bulbs generate heat during operation. When cleaning, use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the glass, ensuring the light remains switched off and cooled. Always verify that your lamp or light fixture explicitly supports an E27 base and can accommodate the 25W power draw.
