FAQs
What type of cap does this bulb have?
This bulb has an SBC (Small Bayonet Cap) cap type.
How many bulbs are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 clear candle light bulbs.
Is this bulb suitable for dimmable lights?
These are standard 60W bulbs and are generally not designed for dimming. Using them with a dimmer switch may cause flickering or damage. Check if your specific light fitting is compatible with incandescent dimming.
What is the main advantage of the clear candle shape?
The clear candle shape offers a classic, traditional aesthetic that enhances decorative light fixtures and provides an unobstructed, bright light.
Can I use these bulbs in outdoor fixtures?
These bulbs are intended for indoor use. Outdoor fixtures often require specific weather-resistant ratings, which these bulbs may not possess.
Are these energy-efficient?
These are traditional 60W incandescent bulbs and are not considered energy-efficient compared to LED or CFL alternatives.
What is the lifespan of these bulbs?
The lifespan varies based on usage and operating conditions, but typical incandescent bulbs of this wattage last approximately 1,000 hours.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Ensure the bulb is screwed in securely. Check that the light switch is on and that the power supply to the fixture is active. Verify that the light fixture's maximum wattage is not exceeded and that the cap type (SBC) is correct for the fitting.
Bulb flickers or dims intermittently
Check for a loose connection in the light fitting or the bulb itself. If the issue persists, the bulb may be nearing the end of its lifespan or the fixture may have an electrical fault. Consider replacing the bulb.
Bulb breaks during installation
Handle bulbs gently. If a bulb breaks, ensure the power is switched off at the mains. Carefully remove the broken base using pliers if necessary, and dispose of safely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply screw the bulb firmly into a compatible SBC (Small Bayonet Cap) light fitting. Ensure the power to the light fitting is switched off before installing or removing any bulb to prevent electric shock.
Compatibility: These bulbs are rated at 60W and feature an SBC cap. They are only compatible with light fittings designed to accept an SBC cap type and can safely handle a 60W load. Always check the maximum wattage rating of your light fixture before installation.
Care: Handle the glass bulbs with care to avoid breakage. Store them in their original packaging in a dry place when not in use. If a bulb needs cleaning, ensure the light is switched off and cool to the touch. Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
