Product Information
Full details
This guide is for homeowners looking for a reliable and cost-effective lighting solution for standard candle-style fittings. The key benefit is receiving a pack of 10 bulbs for easy replacements and spares, maintaining a consistent diffused light. A caveat is their specific 25W power rating and B15 cap type, which may not suit all fixtures. These Eveready opal candle light bulbs offer a softer illumination, ideal for decorative lighting in living spaces, bedrooms, and hallways.

FAQs
What type of cap do these bulbs have?
These bulbs feature an SBC B15 cap, also known as a Small Bayonet Cap.
Can I use these bulbs in a dimmer switch?
No, these are standard 25W bulbs and are not designed for use with dimmer switches. Using them with a dimmer may cause flickering or damage to the bulb or dimmer.
Are these bulbs energy-efficient?
These are traditional incandescent bulbs and are not as energy-efficient as LED alternatives. For energy savings, consider LED bulbs if your fixture is compatible.
What is the lifespan of these bulbs?
The lifespan varies based on usage but is typical for standard incandescent bulbs. For specific technical ratings, refer to the product packaging.
Can I use these bulbs outdoors?
These bulbs are intended for indoor use. Outdoor use may expose them to elements that could cause damage or malfunction.
What is the colour temperature of the light?
The opal finish provides a soft white light, typically associated with a warm white color temperature, suitable for creating a cozy atmosphere.
How do I dispose of old bulbs?
Incandescent bulbs can usually be disposed of in regular household waste, but it's always best to check local regulations for specific disposal guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the power is on and the switch is in the 'on' position. Check that the bulb is securely screwed into the B15 socket. Try the bulb in another known working fixture to rule out a faulty bulb. Verify the fixture is compatible with a 25W bulb.
Flickering light
Check the bulb's connection in the socket; ensure it is not loose. If the flickering persists, the bulb may be nearing the end of its lifespan or there might be an issue with the fixture's wiring. Replace with a new bulb from the pack.
Bulb appears too bright or too dim for the application
These bulbs are rated at a fixed 25W. If the light level is not suitable, consider if a different wattage or type of bulb (e.g., LED with variable brightness) is needed for the specific fixture and desired ambiance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the light fixture is switched off and cool before attempting to replace a bulb. Carefully unscrew the old bulb by twisting it counter-clockwise. Screw the new Eveready opal candle bulb into the socket clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten. Turn the power back on.
Compatibility: These bulbs are compatible with light fixtures that specifically require an SBC B15 cap type and are rated for a maximum of 25W. Verify your fixture's requirements before purchase. They are designed for indoor use in non-enclosed fixtures where ventilation is adequate.
Care: Regularly dust the bulbs with a dry or slightly damp cloth when they are cool and switched off to maintain optimal light output. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals.
