Old is new again
Move over standard light bulbs, an old classic has returned to create ambience in any room. Exposed filament bulbs are making a comeback, with vintage style and a warm glow back. Also known as an Edison bulbs, they are identifiable by the visible filament at the centre of the glass bulb. These types of light bulbs come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The light provided by these bulbs is understated and warm, which makes them ideal for creating a welcoming and cosy ambience. Perfect for when you want to set a relaxing mood in your dining room, bedroom or living room.
Energy Saving
A retro aesthetic doesn’t mean we forget modern technology completely. An original carbon filament bulb generated more heat than light, so our version of this decorative bulb are energy efficient LED bulbs. LED filament light bulbs also give off less heat, making them a safer option to use in your home, and have a longer life span than their vintage counterparts.
Filament types
Whether you have it on full display or partially cover it with a shade, these bulbs aren’t just about the warm glow they give off. The filaments within the bulb are arranged in different patterns to add extra visual interest.
Visible filaments come in a variety of styles, including:
-
Spiral, is a coiled spiral filament.
-
Hairpin, are shaped like a hair pin (also known as a bobby pin).
-
Squirrel cage, is threaded up and down until it resembles a cage.
Bulb shapes and styles
Most LED filament bulbs feature vintage-inspired bulb shapes designed to recreate the hand-blown glass appearance of Edison’s original bulbs. These shapes range from mini tubular to pear to larger globe bulbs. More modern shaped glass bulbs are also available with these exposed filaments. Some have textured or tinted glass, to give an even more interesting look to your light fitting. Finally, there are other decorative LED light bulbs, include candelabra bulbs that complement chandeliers and wall sconces.
