What is a Candelabra Light Bulb?

A candelabra base light bulb is a specialty bulb with a smaller threaded base than normal.

• Candelabra base bulbs are typically used in night lights, chandeliers, or other fixtures.
• They have a 12mm diameter base (sometimes listed as an E12 base), which is noticeably smaller than a normal bulb.
• Often these types have a decorative look to the bulb itself, with bent-tip or flame-tip accents to the glass intended to mimic a candle flame.
• Look for frosted glass for applications where the bulb will be visible. A frosted or white covering to the bulb helps avoid glare.
• To save money, try a budget-priced multi-pack.
• If you have a hard to reach fixture, opt for an LED candelabra bulb. These save energy and have a longer lifespan, so you won't need to change bulbs as often.
