G E Lighting 31740 Led Candelabra Bulb 4W 2700K 2 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 31740 is a 2-pack of 4-watt LED candelabra bulbs designed as a direct replacement for 40-watt incandescent lamps. Each bulb features a BC (blunt-tip candelabra) shape with a clear glass finish and an E12 candelabra base. Operating at 2,700 Kelvin color temperature with a CRI of 90, these lamps deliver warm soft-white light with accurate, high-definition color rendering. Each bulb produces 300 lumens and is fully dimmable, making them suitable for fixtures on dimmer-controlled circuits. Rated life is 15,000 hours, equivalent to approximately 13 years of typical residential use.

These LED bulbs are intended for residential lighting applications including chandeliers, sconces, ceiling fans, and decorative fixtures that accept an E12 candelabra base. The blunt-tip BC shape fits standard candelabra sockets where a vintage or flame-style profile is appropriate. Dimmability makes them compatible with most leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmer switches, though verifying dimmer compatibility with the fixture manufacturer is always recommended. Licensed electricians and qualified installers typically handle fixture wiring, while the bulb swap itself is a common end-user maintenance task.

Installation Notes

Turn off the fixture and allow any previously installed bulb to cool completely before handling. Confirm the fixture is rated for the candelabra E12 base and that the socket voltage matches the bulb rating before installation. When installing in a dimmable circuit, verify that the dimmer switch is rated for LED loads per NEC guidelines to ensure flicker-free operation. Do not install in totally enclosed fixtures unless the fixture is listed for that application.
