What is an E14 bulb?



An E14 bulb is one of the most used bulbs in our homes today and is also called the bulb with the small screw socket. It is the little brother of the E27 bulb that we know as the old-fashioned light bulb. The bulb is called E14 because it refers to the socket: 14 millimeter diameter. A bulb with an E14 socket always has the same base but can differ in shape.



What does an E14 bulb look like?


An E14 bulb comes in different shapes and sizes, but the most famous is the candle shaped bulb. This one comes in both a curl shape and the standard candle shape. We often see this bulbs in chandeliers. But we also see the E14 back in other lamps such as: reading lamps and table lamps. But also oven lamps often need an E14 bulb. Because the E14 bulb is available in different sizes there is something for everyone, matt or clear, large or small, round or oval and in even in a spot shape.

Which colour temperature do i need?

Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin and indicates what the colour tone the light has. For example, a low color temperature is light with a warm glow with a lot of red in it and a high color temperature is cold light with a lot of blue in it. An old fashioned incandescent bulb has a color temperature of 2700K, very warm white light.

Extra Warm Light: 1700K- 2400K E14 LED Bulb colour temperature 1700 - 2400 Kelvin
Very Warm Light: 2400 - 2700K E14 LED Bulb colour temperature 2400 - 2700 Kelvin
Warm Light: 3000K E14 LED Bulb colour temperature 3000 Kelvin
Daylight: 6500K E14 LED Bulb colour temperature 6500 Kelvin

Are E14 LED-bulbs dimmable?

Yes they are! With dimmable bulbs it is possible to adjust the amount of light. In fact you will use less energy because the bulb needs less energy when it is dimmed.

But it doesn’t end there. There is a bulb with which you can dim the color temperature and not just the amount of light. This is possible with the Philips Dimtone bulbs. You can dim the colour temperature from a warm white light of 2700K down to a warm glowing light of 2200K. With the same bulb, you can create an ambient light for relaxed Friday evenings to a functional warmer white for reading and hobbies.
