Know before you buy
Dim to Warm technology mimics the behavior of traditional incandescent bulbs. As you lower the light intensity, the color temperature shifts from a bright 2700K down to a soft, candle-like 1800K, allowing you to adjust the mood of your room.
This bulb features an E12 base, which is the standard 'candelabra' size commonly found in decorative fixtures, wall sconces, and chandeliers. Please check your fixture's socket type to ensure it matches the E12 specification.
While this bulb is designed to be dimmable, performance can vary depending on the dimmer switch installed. For the smoothest transition and to avoid flickering, we recommend using an LED-compatible dimmer switch.
The 4.0W rating indicates high energy efficiency, providing the same warm ambiance as a traditional incandescent bulb while using significantly less electricity. It is an ideal choice for reducing energy costs without sacrificing light quality.
Yes, the G16 globe shape is specifically designed to look aesthetically pleasing in fixtures where the bulb is visible. Its classic round profile provides a clean, finished look for vanity lights or open-style pendants.
