LED bulb Philips 76238600 E14 6 W (470 lm) Warm white 2700 K

Philips 76238600 is an energy-saving LED bulb with an E14 cap that delivers warm white light at 2700 K. Rated at 6 W and producing 470 lm, this LED replaces a conventional 40 W incandescent bulb while offering a long rated lifetime. The bulb features a frosted candle shape suitable for decorative fixtures and chandeliers, providing soft, even illumination with a colour rendering index (CRI) of 80. Its compact design fits small lamps and fixtures that accept an E14 fitting and is intended for retrofit replacement of incandescent lamps.

Advantages

The Philips LED bulb consumes significantly less power than equivalent incandescent lamps while maintaining comparable light output, resulting in reduced energy costs and lower maintenance due to a rated lifetime of around 15,000 hours. The frosted finish reduces glare and creates a uniform light distribution ideal for decorative applications. With a warm 2700 K colour temperature and a CRI of 80, the bulb renders colours naturally enough for general home lighting.

Suitable for

• Chandeliers and decorative pendant fixtures with E14 holders
• Table lamps and wall sconces that require a candle-shaped bulb
• Small ceiling fixtures and enclosed luminaires compatible with E14 caps
• Retrofit replacement of incandescent or halogen E14 bulbs to save energy

When it may not be suitable

The Philips 76238600 is not designed for applications that require very high colour accuracy or specialised lighting (for example, colour-critical tasks or professional photography) because its CRI is 80. It may also be unsuitable where higher light output is required, as its 470 lm output corresponds roughly to a 40 W incandescent equivalent and will be insufficient for large areas or tasks needing bright task lighting.

How to use

Switch off the power before replacing the bulb. Unscrew the existing E14 incandescent or LED lamp from the fixture, then screw in the Philips 76238600 LED bulb until secure. Use in fixtures rated for LED lamps and ensure the bulb is compatible with the fixture's dimensions and any enclosed housing. The lamp is designed for standard on/off operation; if used with dimmers, confirm compatibility with the dimmer type as the bulb is intended primarily for non-dimmable retrofit use unless specified otherwise on packaging.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your fixture uses an E14 fitting and has enough clearance for a candle-shaped bulb.
• Confirm whether dimming is required; check manufacturer information for dimmer compatibility.
• Ensure 470 lm and 2700 K meet your desired brightness and colour warmth needs for the intended space.
• Check that the fixture's environment (enclosed, open, humid) is suitable for the bulb according to installation instructions.

Usage recommendations

For ambient and decorative lighting, place the Philips 76238600 in chandeliers, wall sconces or table lamps where warm, soft light and a frosted candle appearance are preferred. To maximise service life, avoid frequent on/off cycling and install in fixtures with adequate ventilation.
