Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Our living room chandelier has five candelabra base sockets, in which we previously had five 60-watt bulbs for a total of 300 watts power consumption. Energy-saving bulbs that BOTH fit candelabra sockets AND can be dimmed are quite hard to find, so I was glad to find these. However their light output is not quite enough. So what I did was install three of these and two 60W halogen candelabra size bulbs. With the dimmer on high setting, power use is 129 watts, or 57% less power while light output is about 38% less than it was. But where these LEDs really, ahem, shine is when we have the dimmer turned down as we frequently do. Incandescent bulbs (and halogen bulbs are just a somewhat more efficient type of incandescent bulb) get dimmer non-linearly when voltage is reduced whereas these LEDs get dimmer linearly. Which means that when we turn down the dimmer, the LEDs represent a bigger fraction of the total light output.
When higher-output dimmable LEDs in candelabra size become available, we may replace one or both halogen bulbs in our chandelier.
