Best E14 small screw bulbs compared in 2026

E14 is the small screw fitting found in many lamps and in some appliances, but these five bulbs are not interchangeable. Three are standard LED bulbs for lamps, in candle and golf-ball shapes, with stated output of 470 lm. The other two are pygmy incandescent bulbs made for high-heat fixtures, one rated below 300°C and one rated for use above 300°C. Check what your fixture needs before buying. Ordinary LED bulbs should not be used in ovens, and the pygmy bulbs are not meant for general room lighting.
