40 watt edison bulb

The listings include small candelabra bases (E12) and standard medium Edison bases (E26).

Most LED 40W-equivalent bulbs list a much lower power draw—commonly about 4.5 watts or 5.5 watts—while an incandescent 40W option uses 40.0 watts.

Brightness varies by model. Standard 40W-equivalent LEDs list about 415–450 lumens, while some colored filament candelabra listings show lumens as 0 (not specified).

Rated lifetimes vary by bulb: some LED options list around 10,000 hours (about 9.1 years), others are rated up to roughly 13.7 years, while an incandescent 40W option lists about 1.4 years.

Dimming support varies. Several LED listings and the incandescent A15 are marked dimmable (including full-range dimming), while many colored candelabra filament bulbs are listed as on/off (non-dimmable).

Ratings vary by product: some colored filament bulbs are described as wet-location rated for indoor or outdoor use, and other options list suitability specifically for wet or damp locations—check the individual listing for the exact rating.

Candelabra bulbs are recommended for chandeliers, sconces, porch fixtures, ceiling fans, and accent lighting. Standard 40W-equivalent LEDs are recommended for general spaces such as bedrooms, family rooms, dining rooms, entryways, and some A15 bulbs are noted as suitable for appliances.

Some listings state UL listing, many items note they contain no mercury, and several LED options indicate compliance with federal efficiency standards. Check each product listing for full certification details.
