Filament Bulb

A filament bulb (or Edison bulb) recreates the look of vintage bulbs with a visible filament. As decorative as it is illuminating, it enhances open light fixtures.

A filament bulb is meant to be seen: in an open pendant light, a glass globe, or a simple hanging socket. Choose between globe or tubular shapes.

Pitfall: relying on a filament bulb to light an entire room. Its light is soft and decorative; add other light sources.

A filament bulb is distinguished by its vintage design with a visible filament inside. This retro look brings a warm and authentic decorative touch to your lighting, perfect for enhancing open pendant lights.

When choosing your filament bulb, make sure its size is suitable for your light fixture. A bulb that is too large might seem disproportionate, while one that is too small would not provide enough brightness. Measure the location of your socket to select the ideal dimension.

Filament bulbs generally emit a warm, soft light, with color temperatures ranging from 2000K to 2700K. This light output is reminiscent of the warm ambiance of traditional incandescent lamps, perfect for a cozy atmosphere.

Although the original filament bulb is incandescent, there are now LED versions offering the same aesthetic qualities. LED filament bulbs consume less energy while emitting a warm, soft light, with a longer lifespan than incandescent models.

To preserve the vintage appearance of your filament bulb, avoid touching it directly with your hands to prevent smudging the glass. Clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Also, be careful not to expose it to shocks or vibrations that could damage the fragile filament.
