I was surprised at how short the Ikea dimmable LEDs lasted (not the smart ones) - but it's surprisingly hard to find E14's that are bright enough (60w equivalent), dimmable, and warm. The Osram's i gave in and tried (albeit at 40w equivalent and dimmable) had a green/yellow-ish tint that i despised.
Recently accidentally picked up ikea's tradfris (zigbee bulbs, dimmable (but not with dimmer), multi-white) and have gone on a zigbee spree after that. I hope they last.
- yarcob 6y agoI think E14 bulbs are just too small for high power output. I only use them for accent lights that don't need a lot of power.
- avh02 6y agoyeah, i basically use them for standing lamps - i don't like overheads/ceiling lamps so much but still like enough light not to feel I'm in the dark. Still happy to turn on the bright ceiling lights to find something/see well/etc. The problem with E14's was that at least in Germany I knew they exist, but couldn't consistently find them. I'd regularly find 60W equivalent non-dimmable or cold white. Only Phillips and Ikea (it seems) had 60w (classically dimmable) warm E14s. They did not generally last that long
