The E14 "small screw" is the absolute standard in most table lamps, nightlights, wall sconces, and even kitchen extractor hoods. These compact devices require a small but extremely reliable light. E14 small (G45 or "golf ball") LED bulbs are the ideal solution for closed and narrow shades where a large bulb simply wouldn't fit. The biggest mistake clients make is buying budget bulbs of unknown origin. They often flicker, creating a stroboscopic effect that is extremely harmful to children's eyesight when they are doing homework under a table lamp. The VIDEX G45 bulb series offers premium light quality and engineering in every millimeter.

A: The E14 base (14 mm diameter), or small mignon, is standardized for compact wall sconces, small table lamps, and decorative luminaires. Using the E14 thread allows manufacturers to design finer and architecturally lighter luminaire sockets in spaces with limited room.
A: The spherical 45 mm polycarbonate diffuser provides even light refraction in all directions over a 200° angle, preventing focused beams and blinding spots in open flush mounts. This creates a homogeneous glow around the luminaire in hallways or bedrooms.
A: The power circuit integrated into small E14 bulbs automatically calibrates current peaks and protects against overvoltage up to 250V. Although not intended for fully enclosed sauna globes, the passive cooling of the aluminum hybrid core keeps the LED chip in a stable 70°C zone in open indoor fixtures.
A: Unlike fragile glass, opal polycarbonate plastic is mechanically impact-resistant. If a table lamp is accidentally knocked over, the bulb dome will crack but not shatter into sharp, dangerous splinters on the carpet or floor.
A: To achieve the EN 12464-1 comfort standard (approximately 150-200 lx), a 20 square meter room requires 3000–4000 lumens. This means that five to six 7W G45 bulbs (each producing 560 lm) need to be connected in parallel in the chandelier, thus creating sufficient light density.
