Can anyone tell me where you can get reliable LED candle bulbs which are
-Dimmable
-Bayonet fitting
-Provide 11W (Equivalent to 60W)
-Daylight / 5000K+?
I recently purchased two light bulbs at £7.49 each and both have stopped working within 7 days of starting to use them so I want someone who has purchased one of these light bulbs, used it and who would recommend it because it does actually work.

I use Megaman and Philips candle bulbs but I have yet to find a proper candle bulb that can deliver 11W I just checked in case things have changed you normally get around 4w-6w possible 7w in candle
here's a Philips 8w (11w) equivalent but only warm white

You would wonder how getting a light bulb could be so difficult?!?0 -
Yeah they are but my philips bulbs is very bright, lights up my whole living room and its a decent size but its a SES candle bulbs. I think main problem is heat dissipation as candle are quite small bulbs. They certainly got brighter since I bought my megaman bulbs 3 years ago that was 7w 286 lumen now you can get 6w 470lm. Had no problems with them at all.0

5000K would be very blue. 2700K is 'sun' and more natural.
11W is not what to look for, you want about 600lm (lumens) to be equivalent to what a 60W standard light gives. 600lm is still a lot for an LED in that size.0
