FAQs

What is the difference between E14 and E27 fittings?

E14 refers to the Small Edison Screw cap, which is approximately 14mm in diameter. E27 refers to the standard Edison Screw cap, which is approximately 27mm in diameter. This bulb uses the smaller E14 fitting.

Can I use this bulb with any dimmer switch?

No, this bulb is dimmable but requires a dimmer switch specifically designed for LED bulbs. Using it with an older incandescent dimmer may cause flickering, buzzing, or damage to the bulb or dimmer.

How much energy does this 5W bulb save compared to a traditional bulb?

This 5W LED bulb is equivalent to a 40W traditional incandescent bulb, offering approximately 87.5% energy savings (35W difference).

What is the color temperature of this bulb?

The color temperature is 2700K, which is considered warm white. This provides a cozy and inviting light, similar to traditional incandescent bulbs.

What are the dimensions of the bulb?

The bulb dimensions are approximately 97mm in height and 35mm in width.

What is the lifespan of this LED bulb?

The bulb has a rated lifespan of over 10,000 hours.

Does the pack size always contain the same number of bulbs?

No, the pack size can vary (e.g., single, double, or four-pack). You should check the specific product listing for the quantity included.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Ensure the power switch is on. Check that the bulb is screwed in correctly and securely into the E14 socket. Try the bulb in a different, known working E14 fixture. Verify the fixture is receiving power and the fuse is intact.

Bulb flickers or buzzes

This is often related to dimmer compatibility. Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer switch. Try the bulb without the dimmer (if possible) to see if the issue persists. If flickering continues without a dimmer, the bulb may be faulty.

Bulb is dim even when switched on fully

Confirm the bulb is not being used with an incompatible dimmer set to a low level. If used with a compatible dimmer, ensure the dimmer is set to maximum brightness. Check if the bulb is functioning at its rated lumen output.

Reduced lifespan or premature failure

Ensure the bulb is used within its specified voltage (240V) and environment. Avoid frequent switching on/off cycles if possible, as this can impact lifespan. Verify that the fixture is not overheating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
