Cleaning the old fireplace

[jfaberna]

So I was playing chimney sweep and cleaning the old Dimplex electric fireplace. It got me wondering how long the old incandescent candelabra bulbs would last. I have almost 3 years on all of mine now and they still work.

Has anyone found an LED candelabra bulb that looks good in the fireplace?

I know that the 3 behind the fake grate are 60W and I've seen equivalent LEDs but have not seen them lit. They might be the easiest to fine a replacement in LED.

Anyone gone down this path?

The 2 at the top are 15W and are connected to a dimmer. LEDs that are dimmable are not as linear as incandescent bulbs.

Have never had to replace one on any of our units.

Did you clean the chimney?

Just sprinkled some of the chemical that gets rid of the creosote on the fire.

When one of the 3 burnt out this spring I picked up a pack of 4 at Home Depot. Worked fine, sorry I did not keep the package.

we had a few burned out so we replaced all

Never lost a bulb in over 10 years of ownership. Did lose the heater/blower very recently and ordered a new one. I posted in another topic that I almost had some trouble installing the new replacement but I was able to figure it out. Did remove the layer of dust in the unit while it was apart. No chimney sweeping was necessary... Lol
