Lepro E14 LED Candle Bulb, Warm White 2700K (3 pack) Review (2026)

The Lepro E14 LED Candle Bulb is a standard Small Edison Screw (SES) replacement light source designed to emulate the look and feel of traditional candle bulbs. Operating at just 4.2W while outputting 470 lumens, it matches the brightness of a classic 40W bulb. The 2700K colour temperature provides a warm, yellowish light that is typical for British domestic settings, particularly in living rooms and bedrooms.

In a domestic setting, these bulbs provide instantaneous full brightness with no warm-up time, a common complaint with older CFL energy savers. The light distribution is even, though the plastic base may create a slight 'shadow' at the bottom of a fixture compared to glass filament LEDs. Users generally report a flicker-free experience, which is essential for eye comfort during evening use.

Replacing three 40W incandescent bulbs with these 4.2W LEDs in a frequently used lounge fixture could save approximately 107kWh per year (based on 3 hours daily use). At a current UK price cap of roughly 24.5p/kWh, this equates to a saving of approximately £26 per year, meaning the bulbs pay for themselves within the first three to four months of operation.

Standard E14 (SES) screw-in fit. Ensure the power is off before swapping. The bulbs are slightly larger than some mini-candles, so check clearance in tight lamp shades.

Extremely low; running a single bulb for 3 hours a day costs less than 0.5p per week at current UK energy rates.
