chandeliers are just the worst you have a little flame shape bulbs look nice but every time one of them burns out you got to drag a ladder into your living room and climb up to change it and if using incandescent like we are here in this light that could be every year so wouldn't it be better if you could use LEDs that last decade or two decades and save you the trouble we wanted to take a close look at your options so we bought up every single 40 watt equivalent candelabra LED we could find all in all it took us about 18 hours of testing in our lighting lab to get a good look at each bulb and you certainly got a lot of options I've got six of them up here from fight Phillips and Cree even a walmart store Brad bulb and these range in price from seven dollars each to eleven dollars each none of them are as affordable as I would like and none of them work perfectly a dimmer switches either which is kind of a problem when you're spending this much to upgrade your lighting the best value among dimmable candelabra LEDs that I found was this seven dollar bolt from EcoSmart it was the best performer in our heat management test and it also performs well in terms of brightness and efficiency if you don't need your bolts them you can get this non dimmable Phillips bulb in a three pack for about 10 bucks at Home Depot to sum it all up he bulbs aren't bad but they're not quite there categories still has some catching up to do in terms of value and performance for that reason I wouldn't blame you one bit if you wanted to stick it out with bulbs like these for another year halogens incandescent are still available still very affordable you'll have to drag your ladder out again the next time you need to replace them but hopefully by then holds like these will be a lot better
