GE 48405 40 W E12 Incandescent Bulb

This GE 48405 is a 40 watt 120 volt incandescent bulb with a CA10 candelabra screw E12 base. The frosted flame tip glass suits chandeliers and decorative fixtures where the lamp is visible. It delivers warm, instant light without the complexity of electronic drivers. Buyers needing dimmable LED equivalents or higher lumen output will not find those characteristics here.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The filament draws 40 watts and converts most of that energy into heat, so the glass envelope becomes hot during operation. Silent running is inherent because no fan or switching circuitry is present. On a 120 volt supply the current remains low, consistent with the rated wattage. Fixtures rated below 40 watts or enclosed shades without ventilation are not appropriate for this lamp.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GE 48405 40 W 120 V E12 Frosted Flame Tip Incandescent Bulb, and what step do people often get wrong?

Turn off power, align the E12 candelabra screw base with the socket, and twist gently until snug. The common mistake is over-tightening, which can crack the flame-tip glass or damage the socket contacts.

What maintenance or replacement will the GE 48405 40 W 120 V E12 Frosted Flame Tip Incandescent Bulb need later?

Incandescent bulbs have no serviceable parts. When the filament fails, replace the entire bulb with another 40 W 120 V E12 type. Keep a spare on hand for chandeliers using multiple 48405 bulbs.
