A Lightbulb Moment
A Lightbulb Moment
Vintage-look Edison bulbs are a style statement with serious staying power, so it’s no surprise that light fixtures designed to showcase these bulbs are just as popular.
The bulb Thomas Edison patented in 1880 was a massive improvement on existing bulbs, which burned for just a few hours. While modern Edison-style bulbs are not all that different from his original, today they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and filament designs.
By today’s standards, Edison’s incandescents are no longer very efficient, though luckily technology is keeping the style alive. LED bulbs that mimic the appearance of tungsten filaments are becoming even more widely available, letting you get the look while saving on your electric bill.
