E14 Bulbs
What is an E14 light bulb?

E14? What appears to be cryptic, is in reality pretty simple and transparent. The letter ‘E’ stands for Edison, a reference to none other than the inventor of the traditional light bulb, Thomas Alva Edison. The number ‘14’ is the diameter of the base, which in this case is, of course, 14 mm. Logical, isn’t it?
Did you know? E14 refers to the size of the base alone, not to the technology of the bulb. So, there are halogen bulbs, traditional incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent lamps and, of course, LED bulbs that have E14 bases.
What shapes of E14 light bulbs are there?
There is, among others...
The classic traditional light bulb shape
The candle bulb, including the flame tip bulb - ideal for a welcoming chandelier in the hallway
The tubular bulb, often used in form of a small bulbs for refrigerators
The reflector bulb
The spiral bulb (found in old compact fluorescent lamps)

Why so many different shapes? Simply because E14, alongside E27, is one of the standard base sizes for light bulbs. Also, there isn’t a standard norm regulating the size of E14 light bulbs, so they actually vary in length between 57 and 127 mm.
The dimensions and the technology of each bulb can, of course, be found in the product details and the product description.
Are there E14 bulbs with special features?
Yes, there is a variety of special features such as colour change, the ability to dim as well as smart-home-capabilities.
Special features of E14 light bulbs include:
Ability to dim: Since traditional incandescent light bulbs as well as halogen bulbs are dimmable by default, you may be well accustomed to this handy feature. Things are a little different with LED though - not all LED bulbs can be dimmed. But don’t worry, the product details provide information about which LED bulbs can be dimmed and those that cannot.
But which type of dimmer will I need for my new, dimmable LED bulb? Just get in touch with our specialists if you have any questions, their contact information is provided below.
