Vintage Bulbs
Here at Zest Lighting, we have a lineup of vintage light bulbs. We're talking about everything from the in-demand Edison-style ones to more retro options for those real connoisseurs out there. Youcanexplorearangeofoptionsacrosseverystyle. The original Edison bulb is what inspired this whole collection. And of course, there people are switching over to LEDs these days, but nothing beats that classic incandescent vibe you get from an original Edison setup.
All About Vintage LED Bulbs
A lot of houses these days are switching to LED light bulbs. The retro-style LED bulbs are created with the classic design of the ordinary incandescent bulb in mind, featuring visible glowing filaments and clear glass that look stunning. These filament LEDs produce light from their diode-based filaments, which imitate traditional bulb filaments. Luckily, these newer versions function just as effortlessly and flexibly as their previous counterparts.
You’ll also notice that light bulbs have come a long way from being short-lived to extremely durable because of LED. Now, a LED light bulb can be purchased for as low as $5 and is designed to last up to several decades, unlike traditional light bulbs that have an average lifespan of just one year. As the switch towards energy-efficient LEDs becomes widespread, people will eventually replace their lighting fixtures less frequently.
This explains why manufacturers nowadays are keen on adopting vintage-style designs - these styles appeal even to those who do not require new lightbulbs yet give them all the same reason to purchase new ones nonetheless.
Aesthetic Vintage Style
If you're looking to spice up the appearance of your light bulb, these distinctively designed bulbs are a perfect way to elevate it. These days, they're such a hit at bars and restaurants with modern set up that their popularity borders on being cliché. But, if you're planning to try out this trend yourself, there’s good news! You have loads of options available. Globe-shaped bulbs or elongated and candelabra bulbs in different sizes and designs can be easily found by shopping around retro-style stores.
LEDs with a vintage aesthetic usually have faux filaments created by connecting multiple light-emitting diodes within the bulb. How these filaments are arranged can significantly affect how the light appears when lit up. For example, if you're going for an industrial vibe, opt for the vintage-style bulbs that neatly arrange their filaments in columns. There are also twisty filament bulbs that have the added advantage of evenly dispersing light without any shadows due to each diode shining straight outward. Vintage-style lights with multiple filaments might cast unsightly shadows when those strands start interfering with one another.
