Which led bulbs for my chandeliers

alankearn

For years we have used twirl shaped non dim 60w old style candle bulbs in our chandeliers now we are going to switch to led bulbs.
Can any one tell me the the best type of led bulb, I presume color temperature should be warm white but what else do I look for, ie the best looking led bulbs, the spread of light and any other tips would be appreciated. The equivelant leds to the old candle type 40 or 60w power would be ok.

Thanks

go for an output of around 400 lumens and a warm white colour (around 2700k).
the filament LED's look most authentic just be aware that if you use a dimmer switch you will need dimmable lamps and probably need to change the module in your dimmer switch.
if not dimming then you are good to go on the above info.
