E14 Globe LED Bulb 3W to 20W — Warm or Cool White, Seven Wattage Options
An E14 globe LED bulb available in seven wattages (3W, 6W, 9W, 12W, 15W, 18W, 20W) and two colour temperatures (warm white 2700–3000K or cool white). The E14 base with wattages up to 20W is uncommon — this range is designed for fittings that use a small Edison screw socket but require more light output than a standard 3–6W E14 bulb can provide. Integrated LED — no bulb to buy. Voltage: 220–240V standard mains.

E14 up to 20W — More light from a small base than most E14 bulbs can deliver
The E14 base is typically associated with low-output decorative bulbs — candle shapes, small globes, 3–6W. This range extends that to 20W, which is unusual and addresses a specific problem: fittings with E14 sockets that were originally designed for 40–60W halogen or incandescent bulbs, where a standard 3W LED replacement feels noticeably dim. At 9–12W, this bulb produces output comparable to a 60–80W incandescent equivalent; at 15–20W, it approaches the output of a 100–150W incandescent — all from an E14 socket. The globe shape distributes light in all directions, making it suitable for open shades, small pendants, and table lamps where omnidirectional output is needed. Warm white (2700–3000K) suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas; cool white is better for kitchens or task-focused spaces. The colour temperature is fixed at purchase. These bulbs are not dimmable.
Before selecting a wattage, check the maximum wattage rating marked inside your fitting — this is especially important at 15–20W, where the heat output is higher than a typical E14 LED. Most E14 fittings designed for halogen bulbs are rated for 40–60W, so 20W LED is well within range; however, some decorative or vintage-style fittings have lower ratings. The globe format is also slightly larger than a candle or flame bulb — confirm it fits within your shade before ordering.

Common questions
Why would I need a 20W bulb in an E14 fitting?
+
Some E14 fittings — particularly older table lamps, floor lamps, and wall lights — were designed for 40–60W incandescent or halogen bulbs. When these are replaced with a standard 3–6W LED, the light level drops significantly and the room feels dim. A 15–20W E14 LED produces output closer to the original halogen, restoring the light level without changing the fitting. This is the most common reason to choose a higher-wattage E14 bulb.
How do I choose the right wattage for my E14 fitting?
+
Start by checking the maximum wattage rating inside your fitting. Then consider the light level you need: 3–6W for accent or decorative use; 9–12W for a bedside lamp or small table lamp used for reading; 15–20W for a floor lamp or wall light that needs to carry more of the ambient load. Always stay within the fitting’s rated maximum — never exceed it, even with LED bulbs.
Is a globe shape suitable for a fitting with a narrow shade?
+
The globe format is wider than a candle or flame bulb. In fittings with a narrow shade opening or a tight enclosure, the globe may not fit or may touch the sides of the shade. Measure the internal diameter of your shade at the bulb position before ordering, particularly for the higher-wattage options which may be physically larger. In open-shade or bare-socket fittings, the globe shape is not an issue.
Are these bulbs dimmable?
+
No — these bulbs are not dimmable. Connecting them to a dimmer switch may cause flickering, buzzing, or a shortened lifespan. If dimming is important for your setup, please check our LED bulbs range for dimmable E14 options before ordering.
What is the incandescent equivalent of a 9W or 12W E14 LED?
+
As a rough guide: a 9W LED produces output broadly equivalent to a 60–75W incandescent; a 12W LED is comparable to an 80–100W incandescent. These are approximate figures — actual lumen output varies by manufacturer. If you are replacing a specific halogen or incandescent bulb, check the lumen figure on the original packaging and match it to the LED’s lumen output rather than relying on wattage equivalence alone.
