You may have seen the old retro filament lamps making a comeback in bars and restaurants around town. These are derived from the Original Edison Bulb, and are rapidly becoming fashionable and very urban chic.
These old style lamps have a fine tungsten filament that produces a soft warm glow and normally come in really intricate shapes, making them very expensive. The fine filament means that they are fragile and easily broken. The lifetimes of the filament are also short, because of the heat that they produce.
Now there is an LED equivalent. These replicate the originals with a soft warm glow, but the upside with LED is that they do not have the fragile filament and are not so easily broken. They run cool so will not burn if you were to touch them and of course being LED they are really cheap to run – at least a tenth of the cost of incandescent equivalent. These Lamps evoke a feeling of nostalgia, whilst adding a very cool industrial feel, yet a warm, cosy ambience.
Here at Led-Zip, we are stocking them in different shapes and sizes. They are available with or without a bronze tint – which can add to the Retro look. These lamps are fully dimmable and priced at under £10. We also stock pendant lamp holders, which come with different cords and finishes, these are also very affordable too at just under £20.
We have a display of these lamps and the pendants in our Showroom window on Wimborne Rd, in Northbourne.
