There is a reason the candle shape has stayed in production for over a century. The tapered C35 profile draws the eye in a chandelier, holds its proportion in a wall bracket, and sits quietly inside a fabric shade. It is a design that does not compete with the fitting. It completes it.
Dulora's candle LED bulbs and globes are built around that premise. The glass comes in three finishes: Clear for maximum sparkle, Frost for a softer, glare-reduced glow through semi-opaque shades, and Porcelain for a warm, lamp-like diffusion. Five socket types cover virtually every Australian candle fitting: E14, E27, E12, B22, and B15, with 12V and 24V options also available for low-voltage installations.
Colour temperature runs from Extra Warm 2200K, which brings a rich amber tone to dining rooms and living spaces, through the widely used Warm White 2700K, Soft White 3000K for kitchens and bathrooms, and Natural White 4000K for workspaces and retail. The Sunset Dim candle option moves through that range as it dims, shifting from a crisp 2700K down to a warm 1800K, recreating the fade of a dimmed incandescent bulb. Every bulb in the range is dimmable, aside from Sunset Dim's dim-to-warm mechanism and the 12-24V AC/DC variant, and is engineered to be free of visible flicker and of flicker at dimming frequencies below the threshold of visibility, a distinction that matters for eye comfort over long periods.

Buying Guide
Which socket type do I need for a candle bulb?
The most common socket in Australian candle fittings is the E14 Small Edison Screw, a narrow 14mm thread found in most wall sconces, multi-arm pendants, and decorative chandeliers. If your current bulb has a larger screw base, that is likely an E27, the standard thread used in table lamps and some ceiling pendants. Bayonet fittings use a twist-and-lock mechanism: B22 is the full-size bayonet found in many Australian ceiling roses, while the smaller B15 is common in bedside and decorative fittings. E12 is a smaller screw thread, less common in Australian homes but found in some imported chandeliers. Remove your existing bulb and check the stamp on the base before ordering.

Do Dulora candle bulbs come in low voltage?
Yes. Alongside the standard mains-voltage range, Dulora's candle bulbs are available in 12V and 24V options, suited to marine and caravan fit-outs, off-grid homes, wet areas, and commercial settings where low voltage is required. These come in the same finishes and colour temperatures as the standard range, and cover the same five socket types where stock allows. As with the rest of the range, dimmable status and compatible dimmer type are confirmed on each product's page, so check there before ordering if dimming is required for your installation.
What glass finish works best for my fitting?
The finish on a candle bulb changes how the light reads in the room. Clear glass allows the LED array to be seen directly, which maximises sparkle, the right choice when your fitting is designed to show the bulb, as in an exposed chandelier or an open-arm wall light. Frost glass diffuses the source behind a semi-opaque coating, softening the output and reducing glare for fittings with translucent shades or open upward-facing cups. Porcelain is fully opaque: the bulb reads as a warm, uniform glow rather than a visible light source, which suits lamp-style fittings and spaces where subtlety matters.
Are Dulora candle bulbs compatible with dimmer switches?
Whether a specific Dulora candle bulb is dimmable, and which dimmer type it works best with, is confirmed on that product's own page: the buy box highlights dimmable or non-dimmable status at a glance, the product description explains the recommended dimmer type, and the full specification table lists the exact dimming range and compatible dimmer categories. For candle bulbs that are dimmable, a trailing-edge dimmer, also called a leading-edge replacement or LED-compatible dimmer, gives the smoothest results; older leading-edge magnetic dimmers built for incandescent loads can cause buzzing, flickering, or a reduced dimming range with LED technology. Every Dulora dimmer range is trailing-edge and tested for compatibility across the candle bulb range.
Does colour accuracy matter for candle globes?
Candle globes are often chosen for their shape and warmth, but the quality of the light they produce matters just as much in the spaces they typically occupy. In chandeliers, wall sconces, and bedside lamps, the light falls across fabrics, wall finishes, and decorative surfaces at close range, and these are exactly the conditions where colour accuracy is most visible. A globe with ultra-high CRI renders linen, timber, plaster, and painted surfaces the way they look under natural light, rather than shifting their tone. Select candle globes in this collection reach ultra-high CRI. The exact rating for each model is listed in the specification table on each product page, so you can match the right globe to the demands of your space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Candle Light Bulbs
- What is a candle LED bulb?
- A candle LED bulb, also called a candle globe, is a C35-shaped light bulb that replicates the tapered silhouette of a traditional candle, designed for chandeliers, wall sconces, multi-arm pendants, and decorative lamps. It combines the classic aesthetic of an incandescent candle bulb with the energy efficiency, long service life, and dimming performance of modern LED technology. Dulora candle LED bulbs are available in Clear, Frost, and Porcelain finishes across E14, E27, E12, B22, and B15 sockets.
- Do Dulora candle bulbs come in low voltage?
- Yes, Dulora makes 12V and 24V candle bulbs alongside the standard mains-voltage range, suited to marine and caravan fit-outs, off-grid homes, wet areas, and commercial settings. These come in the same finishes and colour temperatures as the standard range; dimmable status and compatible dimmer type are confirmed on each product's own page.
- Are candle LED bulbs dimmable?
- Dimmability varies across the range; not every Dulora candle bulb is dimmable, and non-dimmable options exist alongside the dimmable majority. Each product page confirms whether the product is dimmable or non-dimmable, with the recommended dimmer type detailed in the description and specification table. Browse Dulora's compatible dimmer range at /collections/dimmers.
- What is the difference between Clear and Frost candle bulbs?
- Clear candle bulbs have transparent glass that allows the LED source to be seen directly, producing maximum sparkle, ideal for exposed chandeliers and open-arm fittings where the bulb is part of the visual display. Frost candle bulbs use a semi-opaque coating to diffuse the light, softening glare and producing a more uniform glow suited to shaded or semi-enclosed fittings. Porcelain candle bulbs are fully opaque and produce a warm, lamp-like light without a visible source.
- Which socket type do I need for a candle bulb in Australia?
- The most common socket for candle fittings in Australia is the E14 Small Edison Screw, a 14mm-threaded base found in most wall lights, chandeliers, and decorative pendants. Other common options are E27 (the standard large screw base), B22 (full bayonet), B15 (small bayonet), and E12 (a smaller screw thread found in some imported fittings from the US). Check the base of your existing bulb or the stamp on your fitting before ordering.
- What CRI do Dulora candle LED bulbs have?
- Most Dulora candle LED bulbs are rated at CRI90 or above, which means colours, surfaces, and fabrics appear accurate and rich under the light rather than flat or washed out. Select CRI95 and CRI97 options are available in specific finishes and colour temperatures, with CRI ratings listed in the specification table on each product page. SAA-certified and backed by up to three years warranty.
- What is Sunset Dim?
- Sunset Dim is Dulora's dim-to-warm candle bulb option, which shifts colour temperature from a crisp 2700K to a warm 1800K as it dims, rather than holding a single fixed temperature. It recreates the warming glow of a dimmed incandescent bulb in a single LED product.
