Customer Reviews
I saw bulbs like this at a local restaurant and was so charmed by their quintessential "cartoon light bulb over the head" look, I just had to have some of my own! For me, keeping them turned down to about a candle's brightness is just right- I'm not after illumination, I want the filament to be an art-element in it's own right, so I keep them on a dimmer and turned down.
These are not rough-duty bulbs at all. The rating of 3000 hrs is an average, meaning some burn longer and some burn for fewer hours. Some tips for extending the life:
-Keep them turned down to about half power. This alone should extend the life by about 3x.
-Never, ever jar the bulb when it is on. The filaments in these bulbs are more delicate than regular bulbs and have more filament suspended from the harp. A hard knock will break a hot filament and prolonged exposure to vibration will eventually weaken the filament where it is held by the harp.
-The squirrel cage and hair-pin filament styles should only be used vertically.
You can also get carbon filament lamps which have an even warmer (oranger) appearance.
Here is a picture of a lamp I made using one of the quad-coil bulbs:- [...]
Very well lit room now. Nice yellow tint. Very old fashion appearance. Use with a dimmer so you can see the coils better.
