The 4 Watt Vintage Edison Medium Tube LED Filament Bulb features an elegant tubular bulb design reminiscent of early 20th century bulbs but powered by cutting-edge LED Technology. The result: a modern light bulb evoking the nostalgia of Gilded Age incandescent lamps. This light bulb does well in hanging fixtures; chandeliers; and sconces. Add an old-time charm to any room without getting the energy wastage and safety risks of the old-time bulbs.
This Vintage bulb filament enhances the bulb's nostalgic carbon filament of the late Victorian era and the tungsten filaments of the early 20th-century while spreading a warm 360 degree glow. However; the filament is now the new Soft-LED Filament - gone are the odd-looking traditional LED filaments that resembled miniature Daleks; and even the more familiar straight yellow-orange filaments that just didn't have that old-timey charm.
At 4 watts; you get 170 lumens of yellow-orange light (2200 Kelvin; like tungsten filament bulb; but not as bright) - equivalent to a less than 25-watt tungsten incandescent bulb. Since they are designed to emulate the look and feel of early incandescent light bulbs (which did not give off a very bright light); they are already dim enough. This bulb is the standard Bayonet cap version (B22). This bulb comes with an average rated life of over 25;000 hours.
For historical recreations please note that old bulb filaments (especially the sintered tungsten models) were so fragile the bulbs were installed hanging or standing upright; seldom at an angle.
