I've got wall and ceiling lights that take LED SES candle bulbs, but
they all seem to have information embossed on their (white) base, and
this is visible when the lamp is in position. This must be common to
most light fittings that use these things. Grrr!

No white base, and look just like a regular bulb.

The last time that was an issue for me, it was the bulb for my
photographic enlarger.

There were special bulbs made for enlargers, they were designed to give
a whiter light and had the rating details printed on the side where it
wouldn't cause a problem instead of the end.

The OPs problem is different though the printing is on the white plastic
forming the base and not on the illuminated part.

I'm currently experimenting with sanding one, but that would be best
done by spinning it in the lathe, but that needs me to get the lathe
going after the house move, but that needs me to finish the garage
re-wiring, but that ... sigh! Maybe a can of paint would be easier ;-)

Thanks, but I need to be able to dim them and those particular ones
aren't dimmable. TLC don't seem to have dimmable "filament" type LED
lamps with an SES/E14 base and reviews of that style from other vendors
(e.g. Amazon) are very mixed - makes me wonder if the electronics run
hotter because they're squeezed into a smaller space than those with a
white base.

The surface is a complex curve, plus that would look a bit naff.

I feel your pain. Have a mirror with golfball lamps surrounding it (film
makeup style) And depending on make, some have very obvious writing on
them. But on the glass itself. Hope I never have to go LED with that, as
the LED versions are more a half globe than the near full one of tungsten.

I am sitting next to some full globe, normal size, frosted LED golfball
bulbs, B22-4W-G45-3000K-F from ledhut.co.uk That's the warm white
version, they do others. Nine of them have lasted a nine months in use
for several hours a day. Just a heads up on the current market, no
particular recommendation for this source, though I have found them
reliable, helpful and reasonably priced.

Good to know, thanks. Although these particular ones ain't on for long
periods, so cost of the 16 lamps perhaps more important than the energy
used.

In case anyone is interested, I've found some in B&Q that don't have the
problem. They're pricey but have a 5 year guarantee.
