E12 Candelabra Base Bulbs: The Standard Small Screw Base
The E12 bulb is defined by its small 12-millimeter screw base, known universally as the candelabra base. This small screw base is the critical fitting for nearly all decorative lighting, from ornate chandeliers to simple night lights. Every E12 LED bulb in this collection provides the energy efficiency and longevity of modern technology while maintaining the small base size required by your fixture.
Key Features & Benefits of E12 LED Light Bulbs

- Universal Decorative Fit: The E12 base bulb fits all standard candelabra sockets, making it the perfect replacement for older, hot incandescent candelabra base fixtures.
- Small Screw Base: Its 12mm diameter makes it significantly smaller than the standard E26 base, allowing it to be used in delicate and compact fixtures.
- Long-Lasting Efficiency: Our E12 light bulbs offer exceptional durability and use very little power, which is ideal for multi-bulb decorative fixtures like large chandeliers.
- Wide Range of Shapes: The E12 socket accepts many different E12 LED bulb shapes, including the classic B11, torpedo CA10, and small G16.5 globes.
