Bulbrite LED2CTC LED Chandelier Candelabra Base, Clear

 (11 customer reviews)

I have been looking for literally several years for decent candelabra based bulbs for my chandelier (5x 40W) and a post light (3x60W). I have tried several CFL's and have been disappointed with their light quality, and life spans. At this point I've had 3 CFL's and 2 incandescent bulbs in the chandelier, and the conventional bulbs have out lasted the CFL's. (One frustration, is every time if found the CFL's they only seem to have 1 or 2, plus the light quality hasn't been as pleasing and I desired some "instant On" illumination. I've also tried a couple of different color temperatures in the CFL's but it doesn't seem to matter.) In my opinion, the CFL's simply don't look pleasing. Anyway, I bought several of these LED's to try out. They are not as bright as the incandescent bulbs, however, when viewed side by side with the CFL's & incandescents, they really look pretty and blend right in, much better then the CFL's. I think they give a more pleasing light than the CFL's,...Read more

I bought this bulb to replace the 15W Candelabra light on my drill press. A regular incandescent bulb usually won't last for a few hours of use under the tools vibration. Swap in this bulb, and I immediately notice the increase in brightness. The color is slightly whiter than the filament bulb, but still has a warm yellow hue. I have used the tool a few times since then and so far there is no problem with the bulb. With the solid state technology, I expect this bulb to last for quite a while. I am very happy with the product.

I ordered two of these bulbs for the enclosed portion of a Tiffany style chandelier. Regular bulbs got too hot within the enclosure and threatened to melt the wiring. CFL bulbs didn't last very long, again probably the result of being in an enclosed space. These LED bulbs are perfect - no heat is generated so they should last for years. They're bright, with 15w of equivalency to standard bulbs at only 2.1 watts of consumption.

Interestingly, my two bulbs arrived in identical packaging with identical product codes but differed considerably. One has clear glass where you can easily see each of the LEDs while the other has frosted glass. The two bulbs otherwise appear identical. I don't mind since my two bulbs are enlosed in a colored-glass enclosure and you therefore can't tell the difference, but if your intent is to have several of these bulbs in a fixture where each bulb can be seen, you'd likely want the frosted glass variety. The two bulbs should definitely be in...Read more
