FAQs

What does 'SES E14' mean?

SES stands for Small Edison Screw, and E14 refers to the diameter of the cap in millimeters (14mm). It's a common small screw-in cap type for light bulbs.

Are these bulbs suitable for main room lighting?

No, these 15W pygmy bulbs are intended for smaller fixtures and discreet lighting, not for illuminating entire rooms, which typically require higher wattage bulbs.

How many bulbs are included in this pack?

This pack conveniently includes 10 Eveready pygmy light bulbs.

Can I use these bulbs outdoors?

These bulbs are designed for indoor use in appropriate fixtures. They are not rated for outdoor or wet conditions unless the fixture itself is specifically rated for outdoor use and accommodates this bulb type.

What is the expected lifespan of these bulbs?

The lifespan can vary depending on usage and the specific fixture. However, incandescent pygmy bulbs typically offer several thousand hours of use under normal conditions.

Can I replace a 25W bulb with these 15W bulbs?

Yes, you can replace a higher wattage bulb with a lower wattage bulb, provided the cap type (SES E14) is the same and the fixture can safely accommodate the lower wattage. However, the light output will be dimmer.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Ensure the fixture is switched on at the wall and the bulb is correctly and securely screwed into the SES E14 socket. Check if the power supply is active. Test with another known working bulb if possible.

Bulb flickers intermittently

Check that the bulb is not loose in the socket. If the issue persists, the bulb may be nearing the end of its life or there might be an issue with the fixture's wiring or connection.

Bulb fits loosely or is difficult to screw in

Verify that the fixture has an SES E14 socket. Do not force the bulb; check for any obstructions or damage to the socket or bulb base. If the socket is damaged, the fixture may need professional repair or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power to the light fixture is switched OFF at the mains.
  2. Carefully unscrew the old bulb if present.
  3. Gently screw the new Eveready pygmy bulb into the SES E14 socket until snug. Do not overtighten.
  4. Restore power to the fixture and switch on.

Compatibility:

  • Cap Type: This bulb features an SES E14 cap. It is only compatible with fixtures designed to accept this specific screw cap.
  • Voltage: Ensure your fixture operates on the standard household voltage for your region.
  • Wattage: These bulbs are rated at 15W. Ensure the fixture's maximum wattage rating is not exceeded (though 15W is typically well within limits for appropriate fixtures).

Care:

  • Allow bulbs to cool completely before handling or replacing.
  • Clean fixtures and bulbs (when cool and detached) with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store spare bulbs in their original packaging in a cool, dry place.
