Sunset Dim Candle, E12

The smallest screw fitting still deserves a proper candle, and the Sunset Dim Candle, E12 brings the slim silhouette and a warm-down glow to compact fittings. Dimmable, it draws 4.8 watts for 470 lumens of 2700K warm white in place of a traditional 40W incandescent, settling to a deep 1800K amber as you take it down. Ultra-high colour accuracy keeps the light true wherever it sits, and the E12 mini screw base suits the small sockets a full-size cap will not. Backed by a 3-year warranty.The Clear Glass EffectOn a candle this small, the filament is the detail that carries it. A fine strip of LEDs runs up the clear glass with a warm, twinkling glow, and a cluster of them can light a fitting with real character. Off, that filament keeps a neat, vintage look, which counts in the small open fittings where an E12 candle usually lives on full view. Sitting behind a shade, or after a softer look without the filament? The Porcelain candle is the match.The warm-down is what sets it apart from a plain LED candle. Instead of one flat tone, it deepens to amber as it fades, the glow softening the way a real flame does as a night settles in. On an LED-compatible dimmer it fades cleanly, no flicker, no jump.Where It BelongsThe E12 Candle belongs in the smaller, more decorative fittings. Around the house that is compact and multi-arm chandeliers, picture and mirror lights, mantel lamps and petite wall sconces where a full-size candle would look heavy. In boutique chandeliers, cabinet and shelf lighting, and snug restaurant and bar fittings it lends a small warm flame to the room. The E12 mini Edison screw base fits the small candelabra-style sockets used in compact chandeliers, wall lights and decorative lamps.
