Light Bulb Shape Guide: Globes — 1000Bulbs.com Blog

What are some Globe Light Bulb Types?

Globes are available in a variety of shapes and styles. If you’re considering going a more energy efficient route, try investing in LED globes. These energy efficient bulbs come in clear or frosted and may last upwards of 50,000 life hours.  For a more vintage vibe, try gorgeous antique globes with spiral or squirrel cage filament. The amber tint finish makes these vintage light bulbs a must for restoration projects. Other options include standard incandescent globes and the extra sleek silver incandescent bowl globe. The frosted silver bowl redirects the light inside your pendants allowing your bulbs to looks simply gorgeous above tabletops.

Some G16 globe lights can provide a nice alternative for chandelier lighting, whereas G11s are an excellent choice for restoration lighting décor.  One of the most classic ways globes can be used is to embellish and illuminate vanity mirrors. Other decorative options for globes include:

·         Patio stringers for wedding decor

·         Hanging as pendants over a kitchen island or table

·         Bedroom chandeliers

·         Creating a terrarium once the bulb has burnt out

Globes are a great way to add charm and sophistication to the inner and outer layers of your home. Whether you want to spruce up your vanity or create an evening of enchantment with patio lights, globe lights are an excellent choice. How are you using globes in your home?
