G E Lighting 36494 Led Vintage Candle Bulb 3W

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 36494 is a 3-watt LED vintage candle-shape bulb designed as a direct replacement for 25-watt incandescent lamps. It produces 125 lumens of warm white light at 2,000 Kelvin with a CRI of 80, delivering the amber glow characteristic of traditional filament bulbs. The spiral filament design inside an all-glass amber envelope replicates the aesthetic of antique incandescent bulbs while consuming a fraction of the energy. It fits a standard medium base and is fully dimmable, making it suitable for use in fixtures where light level control is required. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors commonly install this lamp type in decorative or period-style fixtures.

This lamp is suited for residential and light commercial decorative applications including chandeliers, sconces, candelabras, and pendant fixtures using a standard medium base socket. The amber glass envelope and 2,000K color temperature make it a practical choice for hospitality, accent lighting, and vintage-aesthetic interior installations. The bulb is rated for 15,000 hours of service life, equivalent to approximately 13.7 years at typical usage rates. It complies with California Title 20 efficiency standards, making it appropriate for projects in California-regulated installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct retrofit replacement for 25-watt incandescent candelabra and decorative lamps in medium base (E26) sockets. Verify dimmer compatibility with the fixture manufacturer before installation, as not all dimmers perform equally with LED filament lamps.

Installation Notes

This lamp is installed by electricians or qualified lighting technicians following NEC guidelines. Always de-energize the fixture at the circuit breaker before relamping and confirm the socket is a medium base E26 type. Allow any existing incandescent bulb to cool completely before handling. When using with a dimmer, confirm the dimmer is rated for LED loads to avoid flickering or reduced lamp life.
