Watch Out for Two Major Types of Lampshades for Your Modern Chandeliers

Modern chandeliers are not only beautiful accent pieces but also provide ambient lighting. The shade you select affects the chandelier's visual appeal and illumination quality. In this comparison study, we'll analyze two common lampshades for your beautiful chandeliers: those with bulb clip attachments and those with flame clip attachments.

Lampshades with Bulb Clip Attachments

Versatility in Design:

Lamp shade design has a great deal of flexibility when using a bulb clip. These may be found in various sizes, forms, and materials, allowing you to choose the perfect match for your chandelier's aesthetic. From drum shades to cone shapes, the options are diverse.

Ease of Installation:

The form of the bulb clip attachment makes installation simple. Clip the shade onto the bulb, and you're ready. This ease of use is great for those who want to avoid hiring a professional but still want to alter the design of their chandelier.

Efficient Light Diffusion:

The open-top design of these lampshades of your modern chandeliers allows for efficient light diffusion. The upward and downward light dispersion enhances the ambient lighting in the room, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Variety of Materials:

Whether you prefer fabric, metal, glass, or other materials, lampshades with bulb clip attachments are available in various materials. This versatility allows you to experiment with textures and finishes to achieve the desired aesthetic.

Lampshades with Flame Clip Attachments

Essence of Elegance:

Lampshades that can be easily removed and replaced with a flame clip are classically beautiful. The attachment style replicates candle holders, creating a classic appearance that compliments a variety of home design concepts, from vintage to contemporary.

Enhanced Focal Point:

The flame clip attachment style makes the lights of the chandelier the center of attention. It enhances the beauty of your interiors. This is a must-have feature if you want to include ornamental light bulbs in your chandelier design. 

Diverse Shapes & Styles:

Lampshades with flame clip attachments used to only come in the ubiquitous drum form, but those days are long gone. You may buy a flame clip lampshade in various shapes and sizes to complement the style of your modern chandeliers.

Soft & Directed Light:

The flame clip lampshades are downward-facing. This shape improves light directionality, producing a softer, more concentrated glow. Because of this, they are great for use wherever that additional job or accent lighting is needed.

Choosing the Right Lampshade for Your Modern Chandeliers

Consider Your Decor Style:

Choosing bulb and flame clip lampshades should align with your overall décor style. Bulb clip attachments offer versatility if you lean towards a more contemporary or eclectic design. Flame clip attachments bring a touch of timeless elegance for a classic or vintage ambiance.

Think About Lighting Needs:

Consider the lighting requirements of the room. If you need broad, ambient lighting, bulb clip attachments may be preferable. Flame clip attachments provide a more directed illumination for areas where focused or accent lighting is essential.

Experiment with Mixing and Matching:

Get creative with your modern chandelier design by mixing and matching lampshade styles. Combine bulb and flame clip attachments within the same chandelier to achieve a unique and eclectic look.

Take Proper Measurements:

Before purchasing lampshades, precisely measure your chandelier's bulbs and frames. It ensures a proper fit and prevents any disproportionate aesthetics. Also, it will save you money and effort. 

Final Words 

In conclusion, your taste and how much light you require will determine whether you go with a lampshade that attaches with a bulb clip or one that attaches with a flame clip. The proper lampshade greatly improves the aesthetic value of your modern chandeliers, whether you go with the adaptable bulb clip attachments or the timeless beauty of the flame clip attachments.

What Are the Different Types of Light Bulb Fittings, Caps and Bases?

The part of the oven lamp or light bulb that connects into the light fitting is generally known either as the cap or base. Caps provide the electrical contact to conduct electricity to the light bulb but it also helps to secure the light bulb into its fitting.

There are a vast variety of caps and bases that exist in order to help make sure that only the correct type of lamp is used in any given fitting. This section shows many of the most popular fittings.

Named after the pioneering inventor Thomas Edison, the Edison screw oven lamp or ES lamp fitting is used worldwide in a vast range of applications. The most popular ES or E27 fitting is 27mm diameter and is widely used in UK and Europe. This cap is the standard 27mm diameter screw cap for UK 240V light bulbs – not to be confused with E26, which is a 26mm size and is designed for the 120V US market.

The G9 Oven lamp is specifically used for 240V capsule light bulbs. The light bulb can be identified by measuring the distance between the center points of the pins. The distance of a G9 measures 9mm.

LED Capsule Bulbs are now also available as an energy-efficient alternative to light bulbs. The fitments on LED capsules are exactly the same as those on halogen capsules, so if you’re replacing your current light bulbs with LED light bulbs and your fitting accepts one of the standard types listed here, you should be able to install them without an issue.

Different light bulbs are designed for different needs, environments, and situations. If you need a bulb that will last a long time, save you money and deliver bright light, then an LED light bulb with a high lumen output is best for you. If you want a light bulb that is budget-friendly, stylish and great for decorative lighting, then a candle-shaped halogen bulb with a low colour temperature is what you need.

UNDERSTANDING LIGHT BULB CAP TYPES AND BASE FITTINGS

Choosing the correct cap type or base fitting is the most important step when it comes to finding the right light bulb. The cap type or base fitting both conducts electricity to the light bulb and secures it into the fixture. Buying a bulb with the wrong Oven lamp holder simply means your lamp will not fit into the fixture – so it’s incredibly important you get it right.

The first letter of the code tells you the base or cap type of the bulb - such as a Bayonet Cap or Edison Screw Base.

The numbers reveal the diameter of the base, or the distance between the pins. This is listed in millimeters.

Some codes will also have additional letters after the numbers. This shows the number of pins or contacts the base has – such as ‘s’ for single, or ‘d’ for double.

So for example, the most common Bayonet Cap base fitting is listed as a B22d fitting. The ‘B’ stands for Bayonet Collar, while the ‘22’ means the base is 22mm in diameter. The ‘d’ at the end of the code means the base has two pins.

Candlelight bulbs feature a design based off the flame of a candle. This attractive ‘flame’ shape naturally gives them a decorative, elegant and vintage look perfect for ornamental lighting in hotels, restaurants and bars. As such, candle bulbs are most commonly used as decorative light bulbs in chandeliers, wall lights and exposed fixtures. Candle light bulbs are generally fitted with an E27 Edison screw base, E14 Oven lamp holder or B22 bayonet cap.

The Edison screw base is another of the most commonly seen base fittings in the UK. As their name suggests, Edison screw bulbs simply screw into the socket of a light fixture.

The most frequently seen size of the Edison screw is the E27 – a fitting that measures 27mm in diameter across its base. Other sizes of Edison screw are available, such as the E17, E26 and E39, but the E27 is the most commonly used in the UK and Europe.

E27s are available in a wide range of wattages and are used for a variety of applications.

Capsule bulbs sometimes called capsule lamps, use a push-fit base. Rather than being screwed or twisted into the fitting, these capsules have two pins in the base that allows them to be pushed into a fixture.

These small capsules are named and categorised by the distance between their two connecting pins. The G4 is one of the most frequently used bases for capsule lamps, and has pins that are 4mm apart. The G9 Oven lamp holder is also used for capsule bulbs, and features pins measuring 9mm apart.

TALK ABOUT LAMPS MORE OAK

Lamps are SO GOOD. Have you ever gone to Disneyland? They have floor lamps and I love them. The lamps in my house are not very cool. I hate my ceiling lamp bc the way the lamp shade stays on is weird and makes me anxious that is gonna fall off and shatter and I know it can happen bc my mom has the same lamp and it happened to her plus it makes my light look really yellow which is bad for choosing colors. I could just take off my lamp shade but then I would look directly at the light plus where do you even put a giant glass lamp shade so I just leave it up there. I wish it was at least a better shape. Those lantern shaped lamps are very good shapes. They are my favorite. Have you seen a real lantern with a candle? I have it's So cool the Best lamp ever. I have a little hand held candle holder and I love it with all my heart bc when I put candles in it it's so cool it's like my own personal lamp that I carry around with me and I love having it lit it's so nice. I love looking at the flames in fire it's so memorizing have you ever roasted mini marshmallows on toothpicks over a candle flames it's the best me and my sister did it all the time. The smoke is the second best part (after the fire) bc it looks so nice and mesmerizing. I have an incense burner and the smoke is so visible and you can feel it when you touch it and it goes in such interesting shapes and they way it disperses around your hand is so nice to look at. That's why I love camp fires so much. Especially when it's almost gone and all that's left is the burning embers and everytime you smack the fire the embers glow again the smoke comes heavier and it blows in the wind and you can see it really well at night it's so nice. I got sidetracked talking about fire. Fire is distantly related to lamps bit just as good. One time in went into ikea and we had already gotten everything we need but we had nothing to do for the rest of the day and my mother turned to me and said "want to walk through the lamp displays?" And let me tell you it was Magical. I took so many pictures there were So many lamps I'm sure if I stopped back far enough in my dms I could find all the pictures I sent I literally sent like 100 pictures of lamps there were so many. They had little rooms with thematically appropriate lamps plus just walls of lamps. It was so bright and there were so many cool lamps. There were little shaped table lamps for kids made out of plastic and there were modern-ish lamps with boring shapes that we just like cones with a light on the open end. But then the unique modern lamps,, they were so nice. There was one lamp where the lamp shade was like one of the crinkly sphere things that you make out of tissue paper and hang on the ceiling as decoration and it was So cool. And there was another one where it was like a bunch of rectangles in varying sizes coming from one spot except it was a Lamp. And then there were some of the ones you see in diners all the time with the sort of oval shaped lamp and there very good lamps but the best diner lamp I've ever seen was in this restaurant in California and they had these beautiful read brown and green speckled diner lamps that made the restaurant so homey (plus they had lantern shaped lamps there too making the experience 10/10). Speaking of diner lamps, have you ever been to like a waffle house that's like out of the way and still has a jukebox and old music and you and maybe one other family are the only ones there? No? Well, I have, and what really makes the experience memorable was the lighting. They had basic ceiling lamps - rectangles set on the same level as the ceiling, with several bulbs in each one - and they were pretty shitty. There was at least on bulb out in each one some were out completely and they were dirty and weirdly spaced. But it made the lighting so unique and florescent and really made the experience more,,, eerie, I guess. The city type of eerie. I've rambled enough. If you want more lamps(and fire) send another ask.

“A Wish for 100″

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: Midnight strikes, officially marking Bucky’s 100th birthday. You surprise the super-soldier with a small treat and a gift that has potential to change everything.

ending the last few hours of the day by wishing a happy 100th to our sweet plum, bucky barnes!

A/N: i wrote this in 7 minutes (i timed myself, hurrah) so it’s an incoherent mess. i’ll probably delete this sometime next week xx

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Bucky leans against the headboard of his bed, bringing the covers closer to his body before crossing his arms against his chest. He watches as the second hand of the clock make its way around, hypnotically ticking away.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

In a few minutes, he'll be 100-years-old, and it baffles him that he's been on this planet for a century. He's outlived his parents, his contemporaries, and everything he considered to be home. His age isn't something he's too keen on, especially since he's spent over half of those "one hundred years of life" as a brainwashed weapon for a terrorist organization.

Birthdays are still a weird concept, and he prefers to not make a big deal out of them. He's requested his teammates to treat it like any other day, and he doesn't want any special attention. Lucky for him, the Avengers members with a flare for surprises and events are on a mission, and hopefully the rest of the team will oblige to his request.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

His breath hitches.

It's midnight.

There's a soft knock at the door, and before Bucky can make an effort to get out of bed, he hears the beeping of someone pressing the passcode into the digital code door lock. Bucky's muscles tense up as the door slowly opens, his eyes slightly squinting as the light from the hallways infiltrates his dark space.

"Bucky?" a voice whispers. "You awake?"

The super-soldier's body relaxes as he immediately recognizes the voice. “(Y/N), doll, come in," he says, his voice also a whisper to match her volume. He reaches over to turn on his drawer-side lamp, the bulb dimly illuminating the room. "When did you get back? I thought you guys were coming back in a few days."

"Things ended faster than expected, so we figured we might as well come back home." (Y/N) shuts the door behind her and pads towards the bed. Aside from her mint-green fuzzy socks, she's still clad in her stealth suit. The dim lighting doesn't hide how well the stealth suit fits her, hugging ever curve and line of her body, and the bright smile that dances on her lips.

How's she's still smiling at midnight after a grueling and physically-taxing mission is beyond him. (Y/N) may say it was a fast mission, but Bucky knows it ranks high on the difficulty scale. Had it been him on this mission, he probably would have shut down and growled at anyone who dared to speak to him.

As soon as (Y/N) sits on the edge of his bed, Bucky reaches out, his hands gently patting her shoulders and waist, and carefully gauges her reaction with every touch. He notes that she's sitting in an odd manner, her right arm slightly twisted behind her back. "Are you hurt? Is everything okay? Do you need anything?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm sorry I disrupted you this late."

"I wasn't sleeping. And why are we still whispering?"

(Y/N) giggles and shrugs. "I don't know," she continues, her voice now an exaggerated whisper. "Are you sure I didn't disrupt you?"

"Doll, I'm sure. Are you sure you're okay? I know you have a high pain tolerance, but please tell me if I can be of help."

"Bucky, I promise. It's nothing a hot bath and a few bandaids can't fix. And besides, I'm not here to talk about the mission. I'm here because..." (Y/N) pauses and pulls out a cupcake she's been hiding behind her back.

His metal arm rising to scratch the back of his head, Bucky bites his lower lip as his eyes cast downward. "Oh, (Y/N)..." he sighs as he takes in the chocolate cupcake. A candle in the shape of a star is nestled into the cake, and its sole flame dances dangerously on the wick.

"I know, I know. You didn't want anything, but Bucky..." (Y/N) reaches over, her fingers gently lifting his head up. Her eyes meet his, and her hand caresses his cheek gently, a move that causes Bucky's heart to race. "You can't possibly expect me to ignore my favorite person's birthday. And it's not just a birthday. It's your 100th birthday."

Bucky's body freezes at the sound of the number. "100" sounds foreign coming from (Y/N)'s lips, and a new weight starts to burden his shoulders. "How did you know?" he cautiously asks.

(Y/N) arches an eyebrow and squints at him in a faux-disapproving way. "I'm a little disappointed I had to Google your age. It's the big one-oh-oh, and I had to find out through the Internet?"

He knows she's joking, but guilt nonetheless floods his heart. "It's just a number, doll."

"Oh no, it's a milestone! And I know it's a little... weird," she hesitates, her eyes sparkling as he snorts at her choice of wording, "but I still think it's worth celebrating. I'm sorry I only got you this dinky cupcake. I wanted to get you this amazing cake from Flushing, but the mission kept me away, and all that's open right now are gas stations, and -"

"Doll? Hey, hey," Bucky interrupts her, placing his hands on her shoulders. "It's perfect, I love it. Hey, aren’t you gonna sing me happy birthday?"

The young heroine rolls her eyes but outstretches the chocolate cupcake in his direction before softly bursting into song. Bucky's heart blossoms as she smatters into giggle mid-song. He stifles the laughter bubbling up his throat as she forces herself to finish the song. "Make a wish!" (Y/N) finally exclaims as the birthday song comes to an end.

I hope one day I'll find the courage to tell you how utterly in love I am with you.

Bucky blows out the candle, which prompts (Y/N) to softly hoot and cheer. The super-soldier tries his best to suppress the stupid, goofy smile on his lips as he reaches over to take the cupcake. "Thank you for this. For everything." He grins as the beautiful girl in front of him smiles demurely.

"I'm sorry I don't have my gift ready. The mission isn't a valid excuse, since I've known about your birthday for a while. I-I.. I have no words. I'm sorry."

While Bucky maintains his neutral expression, it breaks his heart at how genuinely upset and apologetic she sounds. "Don't be. This," he shakes the cupcake, "was wonderful." He hesitates for a beat before continuing, "And you're wonderful. You’re enough."

"Oh stop it, you," (Y/N) coquettishly sighs, batting the air with her hand. She pulls her legs up onto the bed, the mattress shifting as she scoots her way closer to him. "What about this? Since you're ridiculously low-key about your birthday and don't want anything, I can grant you a wish as your gift."

"A wish?"

"A wish. I can bring your breakfast to your bed tomorrow, I can do your laundry, I can prank Sam for you... The possibilities are endless. But make it a good one! It has to be worthy of a wish made on a 100th birthday!”

"I know what I want," Bucky suddenly says, impulse speaking loudly over logic. His heart jackhammers as his brain finally comprehends what he's planning to do. It's as if his mind and heart are on two separate paths. He stares deeply into (Y/N)'s eyes, his blue irises smolderingly radiating. "And you don't need to do this for me if you don't want to."

(Y/N) simply shrugs and cocks her head to the left. "Try me."

"Kiss me."

A gasp escapes (Y/N) as soon as Bucky's bold statement leaves his lips, his husky voice laced with desire bringing chills up her spine. She blankly stares at the super-soldier, but her brain kicks into overdrive. "What?"

Gravity quickly settles in her stomach. What about their friendship? It took a good year for Bucky to get used to her presence in the tower and another three months for them to actually become close friends. If she willingly stepped across the invisible line, would things be able to go back to normal?

But it would be a lie if she denied there was a thrill of feminine satisfaction running through her. (Y/N) always thought Bucky was attractive -I mean, come on. The man has the thick, muscular body of a god and a sinfully handsome face- but pushed aside those feelings in the name of friendship and partnership on the battlefield. To know that a bonafide hottie like Bucky wants to kiss her did something to her core.

Bucky watches as her lips part in surprise, her tongue swiping at her lower lip as her eyes widen and latch onto his. He watches as the blank wariness in her eyes slowly gets replaced with desire. "(Y/N), as hard as it is for me to resist you, tell me if you’re don’t want to."

Taking her silence as permission to continue, he wraps his hands around his waist, pulling her snug against him as her legs automatically reposition themselves to straddle him. He skims ups flesh hand up her side until it gently cups the back of her head.

"(Y/N)?" His thumb glides over her cheekbone.

"Bucky." (Y/N) can hear her heart pound viciously in her rib cage as she takes in his blue eyes that hold a mixture of heat and tenderness.

How did they get from blowing out a candle on a cupcake to here?

"May I?" he whispers.

"... Yes."

Bucky closes the distance between them, and (Y/N)'s eyes flutter shut as soon as his lips touches hers. The kiss is soft and gentle, and she can feel her toes curl. Without any thought, she winds her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to his body.

And that's when the game changes.

The teasing and soft kiss transforms into something hungry and possessive. Her lips part underneath his, and he deepens the kiss further. His tongue and mouth work wonders as they do the most sinfully wicked things to her. Bucky kisses her without showing restraint, and much to his inner delight, she responds with just as much abandon.

It's only a matter of time when oxygen becomes a pressing need, and the two break apart. The moment of passion comes to an end with a gradual decrescendo, his heaving chest settling into a calmer rhythm while her body shrugs off the trembling highs from the adrenaline of his kiss.

Silence takes over the room once more as the two Avengers bask in each other's presence and confusion. Something in their friendship has shifted, and while both are unsure of exactly what has shifted, the change is undeniable. The threshold has been crossed, and they’re now in unfamiliar territory.

Questions flood Bucky's mind, and he stares at (Y/N)'s face as if it holds the answer key. Did he do the wrong thing? Should he have suppressed his inner desires? What happens next? Did he just ruin the friendship?

But before Bucky can say anything, (Y/N) suddenly places her hands on the sides of Bucky's face and gently presses her lips against his forehead. "Happy birthday, Sergeant Barnes," she whispers.

Oh. An answer?

(Y/N) pushes herself off the bed. She strolls over to his couch and picks up the soft, gray sweater he haphazardly tossed earlier this morning. Without a word, she tucks the sweater under her arm and makes her way towards his private bathroom. Right before she shuts the door, (Y/N) sends him a sexy wink.

Bucky leans back against his headboard again, a content smile perched on his lips as he watches the clock again. The second hand diligently ticks away while the minute hand takes a slower approach.

It's been a few minutes since he turned 100, and so far... Well, he has a feeling "100" just might be his year.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Bedside Reading Lamps With Edgy and Quirky Designs

Bedside table lamps are an implicit must-have feature, the reason for that being the fact that they simply change the whole ambiance and dynamic of the room. They're practical not just as reading lights but also as ambient lighting modules which create a cozy, warm and welcoming atmosphere in the bedroom. In other words, a bedroom without bedside reading lighting is incomplete and lacks character. That being said, it's natural to want your bedroom lamps to look nice and to have quirky features so we've put together a list of products that might be to your taste.

Table lamps with glass bases are pretty well-suited for bedside tables seeing how delicate their designs can be. If you're looking something with a modern, sculptural appearance check out some of the designs that Porta Romana offers, such as the Perfume Bottle Lamp or the Coffee Bean Lamp.

The table version of the Rivalto lamp has a tall lampshade with a plissé crown which gives it a delicate appearance perfectly-suited for the bedroom. The white interior helps the lamp shine bright while also contributing to its timeless and elegant appearance.

Since bedside table lamps are used mostly as reading or mood lighting, they don't need to be very bright but rather diffuse. That makes the IC Lights lamp a really great fit for bedrooms. Its design is very sleek, sculptural and modern. It has a slender frame in either brass or chrome and a blown glass opal diffuser with a dimmer conveniently placed on the power cord.

If you want something simple and elegant but also a bit cute, check out the Oxford table lamp. It's slender, tall and has a double shade with a lovely texture. The lamp also has a satin brass stem and a matching circular base. The combination is chic and glamorous but also cozy.

It's easy to see where the inspiration came from for the Bake Me a Cake lamp designed by Morten & Jonas. This table is fun and edgy and an obvious fit for restaurants and cafes. Of course, it can look just as awesome in modern homes, especially if you like quirky, innovative design.

The name of this lamp alone is enough to make the design stand out. Uovo is a lovely table lamp shaped like an egg. It has an oval shade made of white satin blown glass which offers a soft, warm and diffuse light. You can find in three different sizes and use it in a variety of environments. Using it as a bedside table lamp seems like a great idea.

The Eclipse table lamp is another really great choice for bedrooms. It gives out this very gentle, warm and not at all disturbing light, perfect for late night reading or just for setting up a cozy ambiance in the room. You can get the lamp in four beautiful colors, all made of ceramic.

Speaking of bedside reading lighting and delicate designs, check out Kurage, a unique lamp handmade by Japanese craftsmen. It has four slender ash wood legs and a curved washi paper shade. It's super soft and delicate, both literally and figuratively.

Meet Giraffa, a table lamp with lots of character. As the name suggests, it has this elongated stem which looks like the neck of a giraffe, with another tubular piece on top which contains the actual light source. The matching angled post completes the look. The shade can rotate 360 degrees which is very practical and useful, making this lamp perfect for desks, reading nooks as well as bedside tables.

Even though the Bulb Limited is, well, a very limited series of only 12 pieces we'd still like to mention this quirky table lamp because of its interesting and playful design. The inspiration came from the Bulb lamp designed by Ingo Maurer. This is actually the anniversary series.

Speaking of playful and interesting designs, another cool piece is the Ringelpiez table lamp. It pairs beautifully with the Frivoloso lampshade featured here, especially if you plan on using it as a nightstand lamp in which case you probably want soft, diffuse lighting.

For those of you who enjoy minimalist design with just a hint of quirkiness, we have something quite special to show you: My New Flame, a table lamp with an LED rendering of a flickering candle flame which looks surprisingly realistic. It's not a bright light nor does it try to be and that's what makes it stand out.

Minimalist is also a defining characteristic for the Cylinda table lamp designed by Angeletti & Ruzza. This is a lamp made out of two cylinders. One is slimmer and taller and serves as a base and the other is a flat disc and serves as a lampshade, featuring an LED light source concealed just beneath it. There are no unnecessary embellishments and yet the lamp looks glamorous.

What could be cozier than a bedside table lamp with a knitted shade? Right now we're actually talking about Granny, a very cute lamp with a circular wood base and stem and a chunky yarn shade. It's the perfect winter lamp for any space and it's a great bedroom lamp no matter the season.

The Cocotte lamp was designed by Serge Mouille in 1957 and has a classic and timeless look. It has a slender, angled base and a sleek stem which supports a curved shade which is black on the outside and white on the inside. The design is edgy enough to still look chic and the choice of colors and finishes is indeed timeless.

Finally, a table lamp with a design so outside the box you can't possibly ignore it. Its design is not for everyone but the Cheese and Pepper lamp is fun and quirky enough to actually be quite versatile. Use it to add a funky look to your bedroom or your workspace and pick a color that goes well with your decor. There are plenty of nuances to choose from and they range from plain and neutral to bright and playful.

Technology

Vintage LED bulbs are designed to give lamps a retro look, which in the right surroundings offers a unique ambiance, which will complement the decor of a place. The trend to use Edison bulbs is quickly re-emerging, and this is changing the interiors of posh hotels, diners and coffee shops, as well as classical home interiors. Traditionally, incandescent bulbs were shaped like this, but they were inefficient as well. The market was thus filled with a more energy efficient alternative – LEDs. However the look of LED bulbs was so crude and modern, and this resulted in the disapproval of these bulbs by many who were fascinated by vintage, retro and classical styles. Those who could afford to keep paying high energy bills stuck to traditional bulbs, because they could not forego the warm glow that they offered, unlike the bright white of LEDs. However, those who preferred to save money and be more energy efficient had to opt for LEDs. Luckily nowadays this situation can be resolved thanks to a vintage LED bulb.

With the arrival of filament LED technology, it is now possible to have Vintage LED, i.e., LED bulbs that resemble vintage bulbs but are considerably more efficient and reliable. These bulbs obviously are lighter, because they do not need heat sinks or fins. They are also more affordable than traditional lighting. The yellow light of incandescent Edison bulbs is also back with the filament LED bulbs. That is the essential difference between other filament LEDs and Vintage LEDs, which are also known as antique LEDs.

The other difference is the shape. Vintage LEDs mimic the shapes of traditional incandescent lamps, and are available in different shapes such as globe, candle, flame, and bayonet, to mention a few. The Globe variety has a spherical enclosure. The Candle type resembles the longish cylindrical shape of a candle. The Flame is almost spindle shaped, but with the top end tapering off unevenly resembling a fire, whereas the bayonet is similar to a flame but is completely symmetrical. Then there are teardrop varieties as well. Many of these vintage varieties are used in chandeliers and pendant lights. Previously, it was difficult to have such lighting with regular LEDs.
