Frequently Asked Questions
What color temperature does the blue tint produce on camera?
These are incandescent bulbs with a blue-dyed glass envelope, so the underlying filament burns around 2700K but the blue filter shifts the perceived output toward a cool, moody blue — not a calibrated color temperature. They are not suitable as key or fill sources for color-critical camera work.
Are these bulbs dimmable?
Standard 4W C7 incandescents like these are compatible with most incandescent-rated dimmers, since the filament simply burns less brightly at reduced voltage. However, at very low dim levels the blue tint may shift toward a more violet appearance.
What is the rated lifespan of these bulbs?
GE rates these at 3,000 hours of average life — comparable to other decorative incandescent C7 bulbs. Under continuous night-light use (8 hours/night), that works out to roughly 375 nights before expected replacement.
What base type do these use?
The C7 form factor uses a candelabra E12 base, the small screw-in socket standard for night lights, decorative string lights, and candelabra fixtures.
Can these be used outdoors?
They are rated for 120V operation at 4W, but the product is designated for decorative indoor use. Check your fixture's outdoor rating before use — the bulbs themselves are not weatherproofed.
