This vintage reproduction Edison bulb creates a fond nostalgia of time gone by. The warm glow of this classic bulb provides ambient lighting akin to candlelight and will last around 3000 hours. Stylistically, the design mimics the gas flame of antique railroad beacons. These smoky clear glass filament bulbs are the perfect addition to any lighting fixture with standard incandescent sockets. For the highest visual impact, we recommend using these bulbs with fixtures that have no shades or clear glass shades. Due to the softness of the hand-wound tungsten filament, this bulb has the visual lighting equivalent of a modern 12-18 watt bulb.
