- Buy them as a set - in a chandelier every bulb sits beside every other one at eye level. One bulb from a different batch reads as slightly off, and you notice it every evening.
- Order a spare set if the fixture takes more than six - from the same order, so they match.
- Check the base before ordering - E12 candelabra is 12mm across the thread. E26 is 26mm and will not fit.
- Use clear glass above eye level - in an open chandelier at eye level, frosted is more comfortable to sit under.
- Put the fixture on a dimmer - a chandelier at full output is rarely what a room wants, and running below full brightness extends bulb life.
- Let the bulb cool before changing it - clear glass runs hot at 25W.
The bulb a chandelier was designed around
A flame tip is the shape that reads as a candle from across a room. The taper and the twist in the glass are there to suggest a flame, which is why it has stayed the default in chandeliers long after the technology inside changed.
These are clear glass with a visible filament, sold six to a set because a chandelier takes six, eight or twelve and you want them all from the same box.

Why buy them as a set
In a chandelier every bulb sits beside every other one, at eye level, with nothing to hide behind. A single bulb running slightly warmer or brighter than its neighbours is obvious from across the room, and it is the kind of thing you notice every evening once you have seen it.
Buying one set means one production batch, which means they match. Order a spare set at the same time if the fixture takes more than six.
Clear glass and where to use it
Clear glass shows the filament, which is the point in a decorative fixture. It also means the bulb is a visible bright point, so it suits a fixture hung above eye level or one with shades. In an open chandelier at eye level, frosted glass is more comfortable to sit under.
Put it on a dimmer
A chandelier at full output is rarely what a room wants. On a dimmer, the same fixture covers a working dinner and a quiet evening, and running below full brightness extends the life of the bulbs considerably.
