CANDELABRA-BASE
LED LIGHT BULB

Candelabra-Base LED Light Bulb, retail $8.99 (www.eliteled.com...)
Manufactured by Cotco (URL omitted by request)
Last updated 12-15-05




This is a nightlight bulb designed to be screwed into a candelabra-base light socket, and powered directly from 110 to 130 volts AC 60Hz.

It features three SMD LEDs with a TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optic over them so the light is radiated a true 360° around the bulb, and out the top too. This is labelled as a “pseudo filament” and for good reason too - there are no dark areas when the bulb is rotated or turned.


SIZE



The bulb is ready to use as soon as you receive it. Screw it into any standard candelabra-base 110 to 130 volts AC receptacle.
Then, to borrow a phrase from a TV commercial, "plug it in, plug it in!"

For the purposes of this web page, I used an "electric candle" equipped with a candelabra base.



Since this product is designed to be operated from 110-130VAC, this section can be skipped.



This is an LED bulb, not a flashlight. So I won't slam it against a steel rod, try to drown it in the john, stomp on it, run over it with a 400lb electric Rascalator thing, or subject it to other indecencies that a flashlight might be subject to.

Since this is a light bulb with a set purpose, I don't have a whole lot more to say about it.

This bulb uses a "3-in-1 SMD LED" and is equipped with “pseudo filament” (a TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optical device) which provides a 360° degrees viewing angle. As far as I'm able to determine, this bulb has one LED in it.

The base of this bulb is E12 (12 mm), which is the standard candelabra base that is used by C7 1/2 Christmas blubs in the United States.

(Update 12-15-05): The person who sent this reports that the bulb is brighter on non-automatic nightlight holders. Automatic (CdS photocell) type holders will make this LED bulb much dimmer.
