KeviNH Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 To my opinion, there just ins't a candelabra bulb to replace incandescent. If someone finds one that looks good, doesn't cost a fortune, and actually produces pleasing light, please let me know. There are several candelabra-base LED bulbs which put out good light (+25W equivalent) , but don't look right exposed in an actual candelabra. Have you tried the Utilitech Pro from Lowe's?

Specifically LCA12C20027K3 I have some 25w eq leds behind shades where they are just for accent purposes and they are fine. But there isn't anything out there for actual lighting. . . 60 watt exposed chandelier stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A. Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I've been replacing all my lights with Cree 60W & 40W equivalents. I have 4 6W (40W) on one Leviton HCM06 X10 dimmer. Dims fine but at full brightness it will flicker about once an hour. Tolerable. However, I have 3 more of the same dimmer on the same circuit...when I turn on or dim the others (incandescent) it causes the Crees to flicker. Will this damage or shorten the life of either the dimmers or the LED's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
