E12 LED Light Bulbs (Mini Edison Screw) – 240V Australian Standard

Searching for E12 LED light bulbs in Australia? You aren't alone. Often found in chandeliers, wall sconces, and designer lamps imported from the USA, the E12 (Mini Edison Screw) features a distinct 12mm base that is slightly smaller than the standard Australian E14.

At LiquidLEDs, we engineer US-standard E12 bulbs specifically for Australian 240V mains. No transformers required—simply screw them in for safe, compliant lighting. Choose from Candelabra (Candle) or compact shapes in Extra Warm (2200K) to Natural White (4000K). Featuring CRI 90+ colour accuracy and flicker-free drivers, our E12s are the premium upgrade for your imported fixtures. Also available in 12V DC and 24V DC for specialized low-voltage applications.

The E12 Mini Edison Screw: Engineered for Visual Comfort

Don’t compromise on light quality just to find a bulb that fits. LiquidLEDs E12 globes combine the specific 12mm screw base with high-performance LED filaments. Perfect for American-style chandeliers and salt lamps, these bulbs deliver smooth dimming capabilities and CRI 90+ technology, ensuring your interiors look vibrant and true-to-life.

Technical Guide: Is E12 the Right Base?

It is common to confuse E12 with the standard Australian E14. Please check before buying:

E12 (This Collection): 12mm thread diameter. Usually found in US imports, some IKEA older models, and decorative salt lamps.
E14 (Standard SES): 14mm thread diameter. The standard small screw for Australian bedside lamps and fancy rounds. (Need this? Visit our E14 Small Edison Screw Collection).

Unsure if you need E12 or E14? Measure the diameter of your old bulb's base. If it's roughly the width of your little finger (12mm), you are in the right place. If it's closer to your ring finger (14mm), switch to E14. For further help, contact our support team.
