Standard early style Edison reproduction single loop carbon filament light bulb measuring 5 1/2" tall and 2 3/4" in diameter. This 1890 style clear glass bulb emits a dim reddish glow, has a 2000 hour average life and is available in 40W. E26 medium base bulb rated for 110-120 Volts. Edison bulbs are recommended for open bulb antique or reproduction light fixtures as they do not provide as much light as modern bulbs of the same wattage. Great for dim mood lighting or authentic lighting concepts. The long single loop filament is delicate and not designed for horizontal or angled installation. We recommend mounting these bulbs in an up or down vertical position only.
Carbon filament bulbs have a low lumen to wattage ratio like the originals. The wattage is for power consumption and does not specify brightness as these bulbs are dim compared with modern bulbs. Learn about hardware >
