E12 Candelabra LED bulbs?

[tinpanalley]

Just moved back to North America from Europe and a bit surprised at two things.
1. Do no big names make E12 candelabras in LED?
2. So it's 40W or 60W equivalent here, huh? No 50W?

They're pretty common.

Also, the 'equivalency' ratings are so non-standardized (inaccurate?) that there's no need for 50, 60, 75, etc wattage equivalents.

Lumens are what really matter, so "equivalent" isn't particularly useful as a measurement.

I assume we don't many "50 Watt equivalent" bulbs because 50 Watt bulbs were never prevalent in the first place.

The Feit and the IKEAs are cheap. Had some of both go bad early (like 4 month to a year). They seem to have calmed down now, and haven´t had any burn out in the last year or so.

Funny you mentioned candelabra LED bulbs, I am actually looking for some myself. I just installed two Feit fans from homedepot and they both use A15C (candelabra type) bulbs. Funny thing is that homedepot don't even sell replacement A15C bulbs.

Apparently the "c" isn't a standard designation [ETA: and doesn't make a functional difference], so all you really need to be looking for is the basic A15 size/shape with the E12 base (e.g, www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Ceiling-Fans-Light-Bulbs-LED-Light-Bulbs/E12/A15/N-5yc1vZbm79Z1z0tp3iZ1z0vvqn), though if the fan's light fixture has very narrow shades, you might need to check measurements before you buy 'em. (And if the shades are big enough, you can always just use socket adapters and cheaper/brighter-per-Watt medium-base bulbs...)
