E14 is the second most popular "format" of household lamps after E27. Formally speaking, E14 is the designation for the type of lamp base (its lower part is threaded), which is applicable to all types of lamps (LED, incandescent, fluorescent), but in recent years, it is LED bulbs that have become increasingly in demand among buyers - they are much more economical electricity than other types of lamps. The number 14 indicates the size of the threaded part of the base in millimeters. As a rule, these are relatively small lamps of a narrow elongated shape, which is popularly called a "candle" or "minion" (see the figure on the left). For decorative lamps, where the light bulb is not hidden in the ceiling, the form "candle in the wind" has become popular. (see picture on the right) where the luminous part of the lamp is made in the form of a burning candle.
LED lamps with an E14 base are also produced in the form of a "ball" (in the figure on the left), but much less often, since this design often loses the main advantage of such lamps - compactness. An even rarer type is reflector lamps with directional light, when the light flux is emitted with a relatively small opening angle - from 20 to 120 degrees (see the figure on the right). Such bulbs are used in cases where a bright light beam is needed, clearly directed to which - either an object or area of the premises. If you need just such, then carefully study the parameter "radiation angle" for each lamp of interest, comparing it with the required angle of light opening.
The small size of the lamp causes a relatively low power and, accordingly, the amount of light from the lamp. In practice, minions with a power of more than 60 watts are rarely found, if we talk about traditional incandescent lamps. So the E14 LED lamp, "producing" the same amount of light, will consume not 60, but 5-6 watts of electrical power, which means that it is about 8-10 times more economical with the same characteristics in terms of lighting level. If we compare them with fluorescent lamps (they are often called energy-saving), then the LED lamp will still be 1.5-2 times more economical, that is, in this terminology, it is SUPER energy-saving.
The purpose of such lamps in the vast majority of domestic. They are very often used in table lamps, wall sconces and ceiling chandeliers. Judging by the demand, the most popular are 4-6 watt LED lamps, which generate lighting equivalent to 40-60 watt incandescent lamps. The power supply system of these lamps is designed for a voltage of 220 volts.
The glow is "warm" - with a slightly yellowish tint, and "cold" - with white light. In residential areas, warm light lamps are much more often used, since this shade is very similar to the usual light from classic incandescent lamps. Fluorescent lights are substantially less popular, but some people like them more. Physiologically, warm light has a relaxing effect, while daylight creates a more "working" atmosphere. Read more on this topic.
It is impossible not to mention the durability of these light bulbs - according to manufacturers, they can last at least 15 years, and many indicate even more impressive figures of 20, 30 and even 40 years. This circumstance simply does not leave any chance for the survival of other types of lamps, which we can see from the constantly growing sales volumes against the backdrop of falling demand for conventional lamps.
As in other articles about lamps, we draw your attention to the dimming function, that is, the ability to smoothly adjust the strength of the lamp glow. NOT ALL e14 LED lamps are dimmable, more precisely, there are very few dimmable lamps with this base on the market now (they are significantly more expensive to manufacture), so if you have a lamp with a dimmer, then you need a bulb that supports this function. In our filter (on the left side of the screen) there is a special item "Dimmability". In this filter, select "Yes" if required.
Also, it should be noted the ease of installation and operation - these lamps, like the old lamps familiar to everyone, are simply screwed into a similar E14 cartridge in the lamp, i.e. replacing an old lamp with a new one is no different from the process familiar to everyone. Moreover, the transparent or translucent bulb of the LED lamp is not made of glass, so you can not be afraid to damage it. They are not afraid of falls from a small height, are not afraid of vibrations and temperature changes, which makes it possible to use them outdoors.
The E14 LED lamp is by far the most popular variety among the entire range of LED devices. In terms of quality characteristics, it is the most affordable alternative to the traditional incandescent lamp. At the same time, consumers appreciate not only the long service life (more than 50,000 hours), but bright and comfortable lighting, lack of response to power surges and relatively affordable cost.
The spectrum of light and a wide capture radius have made such devices a leader and today they are increasingly being used as the main source of lighting in homes and offices.
Scope of application
A person perceives dim sunlight best of all - in addition to physiological comfort, it is able to influence the psychological component and contribute to work. The more the light emitted by an artificial source corresponds to natural (read - solar), the more calmly a person feels throughout the daylight hours. That is why, when developing the design of an LED lamp with an E14 base, it was decided to focus on natural light, which reduces the overall load and levels out fatigue.
Efficient and rational use of LED lamps e14 socket is recommended for:
- general lighting in houses and apartments;
- organization of production, industrial and office lighting;
- street lamps;
- additional illumination of individual zones, etc.
The average price varies from 95 to 155 rubles, depending on the region and place of purchase. Say, a fairly reasonable cost to replace all standard incandescent lamps and forget about the replacement and routine maintenance of lighting devices for at least 3 years.
The alternation of on / off cycles has a significant effect on the service life. The less often there is a change of such cycles, the longer the LEDs will last.
Technical specifications
An energy-saving lamp with a base has the following characteristics:
- base type: E14
The E symbol stands for Edison screw, the most popular type of fixture fixing, which is simply screwed into the socket. Digital combination 14 - the diameter of the base, measured in millimeters.
- operating voltage: 220 V;
- color temperature - warm 3200°K;
- body temperature during operation: within 35-40°С;
- service life: 50,000 hours of continuous operation;
- dimmable, that is, it is possible to adjust the brightness.
LED power 10W - alternative to 75-80W incandescent
Dimmable e14 LED lamps of different power - 7 W, 9 W, 12 W - make it possible to adjust the light intensity by changing the resistance in the circuit.
Advantages and disadvantages
For most of us, only one plus is obvious - that these are energy-saving lamps with a base similar to an incandescent lamp. On average, energy savings are over 30%. But at the same time, there are other less obvious, but very significant advantages not only over tungsten filament, but also over luminescent sources, which until recently broke records of popularity.
Different colors of the flask - white, matte, etc.
So, among the main advantages, we highlight:
- a more developed glow angle, reaching 180 °;
- there is no shadow effect in the light zone;
- due to dimming, you can adjust the brightness from an intense glow to a muffled one, corresponding to the night light mode;
- very long service life - under normal conditions, the lamps are able to work from 3 to 5 years without the need for replacement or maintenance;
- lack of heating during the entire operation, which does not spoil the plastic shades and does not leave burnt marks on the ceiling.
Contrary to the statements of some pseudo-specialists, the device does not emit any harmful substances either during operation or when it is turned off. No potentially hazardous components are used in the manufacture. LED bulbs do not provoke oncology and other diseases.
Let's not forget about the cons, especially since there are not so many of them:
- a sharp reduction in the operational life with frequent switching on and off;
- it is forbidden to install in places where the temperature often rises above 50 ° C;
- without a diffuser, the light is too bright and uncomfortable for the human eye.
Often, the price of an LED lamp with a base, which is overestimated by almost 10 times, is also included in the minuses. For comparison, an incandescent lamp can be bought for 13 rubles, and an LED lamp for 130 rubles. In terms of the operational life and energy savings, after 3 months of operation, such a source fully justifies itself.

How to choose the right cartridge
Oddly enough, but the quality and service life are directly affected by the cartridge where the E14 LED lamp will be screwed into. Even if its temperature does not rise more than 40 ° C, it is worth choosing ceramic or porcelain cartridges.
For convenience, an adapter cartridge has been developed that allows you to connect another base - from E14 to G9
Both the one and the other option are distinguished by a more durable device and, accordingly, a longer service life when compared with their plastic counterparts. Structurally, such a cartridge includes the following elements:
- ceramic or porcelain case;
- petals made of copper or brass, fixing the body with a screw contact;
- spring;
- skirt for screwing in the plinth.
In addition to the fact that the material of the cartridge itself is important, it also matters what the skirt is made of. The worst option is aluminum. It is a soft metal that develops dents and burrs over time, making it difficult to replace. Very often, such cartridges generally become disposable, when, when the lamp is unscrewed, the skirt clings to its base and breaks off the cartridge.
In order to avoid problems with operation, it is advisable to choose cartridges with a steel skirt or made of stainless steel.
It is strongly not recommended to purchase cartridges with a yellow skirt. It is made from anodized aluminium. This is an electrolytically coated metal that practically does not oxidize, but at the same time remains very soft.
A few more words in favor of LEDs
We have already listed the main advantages over incandescent, fluorescent and other sources. This section has been prepared as a summary of excellent user characteristics:
- optimal energy consumption - with a complete replacement of all sources in the house, it is possible to reduce the bill by at least 2 times;
- lack of response to voltage drops in the network;
- comfortable for the eyes and well-being spectrum of light;
- wide capture radius;
- during vibration, falling and other mechanical impact remains serviceable.
Possible problems and causes
In some cases, LED lamps are characterized by flickering both when the lamp is turned off and during operation. There may be several reasons:
- Incorrect installation - first you can try to unscrew and screw in the light bulb again, if it doesn’t help, check all the contacts, which should be good.
- Mismatch between the power of the adapter and the light source - in such cases, it is enough to purchase a more powerful power supply.
- A significant voltage drop in the network - the drivers do not have time to correct the work, despite the fact that the jumps occur impulsively.
LED lamps do not burn out during such jumps, this also does not affect the service life.
- Poor quality products - if everything works correctly, but the flickering still remains, perhaps we are talking about a marriage.
- If the led lamp is powered by a backlit switch - since the circuit never opens, the lamp continues to glare even when it is off.
- Incorrect connection - the “zero” phase is connected to the switch, and not to the lamp itself. Accordingly, the phase should go to the lamp, and not to the switch.

The high-tech filling, efficient light output and undeniable economic benefits of LED light bulbs leave competitors with similar functions far behind. Now most consumers choose these light sources.
LED e14 lamps are most in demand in everyday life - they are used to organize decorative, basic and accent lighting in rooms. However, in order for the LED lamp to be as comfortable as possible in use, it is necessary to correctly approach the issue of its choice.
Before buying, you should evaluate the characteristics of the lamps and compare them with the upcoming operating conditions. The manufacturer will also play an important role. We'll help you make the right choice - this article provides all the information you need to choose the best e14 LED luminaire.
For a simpler understanding of the design features and technical characteristics, all existing modifications of LED lamps are divided according to the generally accepted classification. Devices are labeled according to their intended purpose, type of base and device.
The marking is applied to the packaging in accordance with established standards. Having studied it, you can quickly get a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe capabilities of the device of interest.
The marking displays:
- power and brightness;
- maximum terms of continuous operation;
- degree of energy efficiency;
- flask variation;
- range of permissible operating temperatures;
- color quality level.
One of the main criteria that they are guided by when choosing is.
The base is the most important part of the device, since it is responsible for the tightness of adhesion of metal contact elements and the quality of interaction with the electrical power circuit.
Any damage to the base makes the equipment sensitive to the slightest changes in current and voltage parameters. This threatens with serious interruptions in the operation of the lamp, which will soon lead to complete failure.
Soffit bases are marked with the letter "S", recessed contacts - "R", pin - "B". Devices with a standard threaded connection, characteristic of conventional incandescent lamps, are assigned the letter "E".
As a marking, such a symbol was chosen for a reason. It is borrowed from the name of the designer of the design - the famous inventor in the field of Edison lighting technology.
TOP-5 manufacturers and models of lamps
The lighting technology market is full of various solutions and modifications of lighting sources. According to statistics, over the past year, five brands have made it to the TOP of the best manufacturers. The goods were evaluated according to the technological stuffing, functionality, compliance with the declared and real characteristics.
Budget and reliable Canyon appliances
European company Canyon produces high-quality German-made lighting fixtures with standard plinths suitable for various modifications of lighting technology.
- large angle of radiation;
- good color rendering;
- long service life;

- safe and durable equipment;
- emitting even, flicker-free light.
In the line of proposals with the E14 base, the model deserves attention PLED-ECO-C37 giving out natural white lighting. Normal operation of the device is maintained within the temperature range from -20° to +40°.
The scattering angle in it is average - 190 °. Analyzing consumer feedback, it becomes clear that this model rarely breaks down. If any problems do arise, a two-year manufacturer's warranty is provided for this case.
Summing up the review, we can highlight a few points that will greatly facilitate the choice of a suitable model of LED bulbs with a standard base.
Firstly, the type of cartridge installed in lighting equipment must correspond to the dimensions of the base of the lamp being purchased. For bases E 14 and 27 there are special adapters.
Secondly, additional savings on the purchase is not always appropriate. Cheap light bulbs offered by unreliable brands often fail. Verified manufacturers are responsible for the quality of the goods and guarantee the replacement or repair of the product in case of breakdowns.
Lighting equipment equipped with a frosted bulb is ideal for organizing softer and more subdued lighting in a room that does not irritate the eyes. If the room requires a bright light source, it is better to buy LED lamps with a transparent bulb.
Third, light sources with a filament or fluorescent bulbs are needed, choosing a similar luminous flux power. In this case, you can refer to the table above.
Before buying, you need to check if the light bulb is pulsing during operation. Having discovered such a phenomenon, it is desirable to refuse the device, since the control circuit is imperfect in it.

LED is one of the most popular models among all products developed on the basis of LED lighting technology. It is an excellent alternative to conventional incandescent lamps and is a good competitor to LED lamps. Due to their economical long life and bright illumination, such lamps are increasingly seen as the main source of light in rooms of various purposes.
Applications
The human eye responds best to sunlight. Therefore, the more the light emitted is close to natural, the more comfortable we feel during a long working day. It is E14, thanks to its soft light, that can significantly reduce eye strain and thereby protect a person from rapid fatigue.
The creation of general lighting in residential premises, the organization of complex industrial, emergency, street lighting, the use as obstruction lights, the creation of various types of lighting - in all these areas, it is possible to effectively use energy-saving LED lamps E14.
Today, E14 LED lamps, the price of which ranges from 100 to 150 rubles, are available to the bulk of consumers. Such lamps are installed in almost all major retail chains, public and entertainment establishments. Entrepreneurs understand that it is more profitable to install LED lighting at an affordable cost than once again burdening themselves with constant maintenance and replacement of standard incandescent lamps.
Lamp E14 LED: parameters
E14 LED energy-saving lamps have the following characteristics:
- base type: E14;
- operating voltage: 220 V;
- glow: warm 3200 K;
- body temperature in working condition: no more than 40 ° C;
- service life: about 50,000 hours;
- Possibility to adjust the brightness.
Advantages of E14 LED lamps
The E14 7W LED lamp is designed as an innovative analogue of standard incandescent lamps with the E14 base type, and is also able to compete with previously widespread fluorescent lighting sources.
The main advantages of LED lamps, compared to the above lighting technologies, are:
- Less electricity consumption.
- The presence of more glow, the absence of a shadow effect in the area of illumination.
- The product of the brightest light with the possibility of its regulation.
- Truly impressive service life without the need for replacement.
- Ability to maintain a stable operating temperature.
- Absence of substances harmful to health and potentially dangerous components.
Disadvantages of LED lamps E14
Despite its innovative status and the presence of a wide range of obvious advantages, like any other technology created by human hands, the LED lamp has its drawbacks. First of all, it is worth highlighting the decrease in efficiency and service life when used in luminaires manufactured with non-fulfillment of requirements regarding heat dissipation.
Moreover, a sharp reduction in the LED light source can be observed when used for a long time in an environment with a temperature of about 60 ° C and above.
Ultimately, the presence of too bright, blinding lighting can bring certain inconvenience to the user in cases where there are no special means for scattering, regulating the level of light and protecting eyesight.
Cartridge selection
Despite the fact that the E14 LED lamp has the ability to maintain a stable operating temperature, and also has protection against overheating, it is better to give preference when choosing this lighting option to ceramic, porcelain cartridges.
Porcelain cartridges have a longer service life compared to plastic counterparts. The most common ceramic sockets for E14 lamps consist of a ceramic body, copper or brass petals attached to screw contacts, a spring and a skirt where the base is twisted.
Often the skirt is the most problematic element of the cartridge. Selecting a cartridge with a soft aluminum skirt can be a nuisance. The malleability of such a metal leads to the appearance of small burrs when unscrewing and screwing in the lamp. Often, this element of the cartridge simply remains on the base when unscrewed.
In order for the E14 LED lamp to serve for the longest possible time, it is better to select a ceramic cartridge with a steel or stainless steel skirt for it. At the same time, you should avoid buying cartridges with yellow metal elements, which is typical for parts made of the least durable and short-lived anodized aluminum.
Additional qualities of LED lamps E14
The E14 LED lamp (candle) is distinguished by a whole set of additional user characteristics. Among them it is worth noting:
- the most efficient consumption of electrical energy along with its low consumption;
- almost complete independence of proper operation from drops and power surges;
- the highest resistance to the frequency of switching on and off;
- protection against mechanical damage and vibration;
- no flicker effect.
