Thread: bent tip candelabra light bulbs greater than 75 watts

    bent tip candelabra light bulbs greater than 75 watts

    Does anyone make such a light bulb ? Got a 5 light chandelier in the Kitchen with the bent tip bulbs. 60 watts each bulb. The thing is, I got a light above the Kitchen sink that is a 75 watt bulb, the regular light bulb, and that throws more light than the 5 light chandelier

    300 watts is an awful lot. But you need 375?
    Wow.
    They might not make them anywhere.

    Candelabra bulbs produce less light per watt than standard bulbs. A "60 watt" LED candelabra bulb produces at least 200 lumens less than a "60 watt" medium base LED bulb.

    New light fixtures for ceiling fans typically use candelabra base bulbs now. I ended up buying some new old stock light fixtures on Ebay for my new ceiling fans so I can use regular medium base LED bulbs.

    You may be needing an LED bulb for that amount of power... and I'm not sure they even make that if it's in the narrow base style you likely use for chandeliers.

    I have never seen a candelabra bulb over 60w. If you go LED you may get more usable light. They focus the light more away from the base. I found for my ceiling fan they threw more light where I needed it.
