What is Vintage Light Bulb
A vintage light bulb, also known as an antique bulb, is a type of lighting fixture that replicates the look and feel of early 20th-century bulbs. These bulbs are designed to add a nostalgic and retro atmosphere to a space, showcasing the beauty of the light bulb itself without hiding it behind matte shades or dark colors. They often feature unique and elegant designs, with an emphasis on transparency.
Vintage light bulbs typically emit a lower level of brightness compared to standard incandescent bulbs. They have a lower color temperature, measuring between 1800-2400 Kelvin, which results in a more orange light. The glass of vintage bulbs often has an amber tint, enhancing the flame-like or sunrise/sunset color. It’s important to note that vintage bulbs are primarily used for accent lighting rather than task lighting or as replacements for overhead lights.

When purchasing vintage bulbs, be aware that their wattage does not correspond to the same level of brightness as standard incandescent bulbs. For example, a 60-Watt vintage bulb will emit closer to 400 Lumens, while a 60-Watt standard A19 incandescent bulb will emit closer to 800 Lumens. It’s advisable to check the wattage rating of the fixture before installing a vintage light bulb with a higher wattage to ensure it can handle the additional watts.
