Walmart now has a "great value" line of LED blunt-tip candleabra bulbs. You can choose warm or daylight, dimmable or not, and 25 and 40w equivalents. I am happy with the ones I bought. Price is just over $10 each.

Home Depot in Canada is now stocking this bulb(I could not find it on the US site):
http://www.homedepot.ca/product/4w-led-chandelier-frosted-medium-base/822306

320 lumens at 4 watts and it is dimmable. I was so excited as I have the original 3 watt Philips bulbs that are only 130 lumens -plus the dimming profile flickers at 25% and 50%. I hoped the newer bulbs dimmed better than the old tech.
I think I found them. Don't ask but they are listed as:
Philips 4-Watt (40W) F15 Outdoor Post Light Soft White (2700K) LED Light Bulb.
at homedepot.com.

Remember they are E26 medium base. Would not fit E12 candelabra sockets.

At Amazon.co.UK they come with an E14 base. 230V 4W.
Non-Dimmable £10.79
Dimmable £17.84
