Home Decorating Design Dilemma

LED bulbs to replace candelabra base incandescent bulbs

4 days ago

I have found candelabra LED bulbs that work well in interior light fixtures that have frosted glass, so you don't see the ugly LED bulb.

My question is has anyone found newer LED candelabra bulbs that are more attractive to use in fixtures with clear glass?

These will be for the 6 large outdoor sconces in the front of the house and 7 sconces in the rear lanai/patio. I would keep using 40W candelabra bulbs from my incandescent stash, but these sconces are a major PITA to change the light bulbs, so I need to find LEDs that will hopefully last longer.

Honestly outside IMO not a big deal this is not like sitting in a DR .where you are close to see the bulb You can get cnadelabra LEDs that are frosted so go get some

It took me a while to find LED bulbs that gave off the right light for inside fixtures!

The outdoor sconces are truly a PITA to change the bulbs, so not as easy to experiment with.
