Light Fixtures That Revive The Beauty Of The LED Edison Bulb
Quick history lesson: while Thomas Edison is known as the inventor of the light bulb, he didn't really come up with the concept, the structure or the technology for the bulb but rather refined it and made light bulbs commercial by making them viable and long-lasting. Inspired by the progresses and ideas of his peers and predecessors, he developed the vintage things we now call Edison light bulbs. These have vintage bulb shapes and are popular in rustic and steampunk decors. These antique-looking bulbs continue to be popular even today and there are many reproductions available on the market.
A distinguishing feature of the Thomas Edison light bulb is that you can look straight at it without hurting your eyes. This means they can be used bare, without shades or anything else blurring their light. They also give out a warm glow and go well with vintage light fixtures.
Edison lights are often used on lamps and accent lighting in general. Although large chandeliers with lots of light bulbs are rarely used in combination with this type of bulbs, they're also an option. Usually, however, a singular bulb stands out more and in a more dramatic fashion.
As our technology progresses, we apply the new discoveries to old designs and concepts as well. This means the LED Edison bulb is something to take into consideration if you want something different and special for your light fixtures.
The best way to showcase a beautiful Edison bulb is with a transparent lampshade or without covering it in any way. Because these bulbs are so beautiful and interesting, they can make lovely accent pieces and become part of decorations such as this one.
