Filament Globes have stood the test of time and are the most fashionable lighting accessory of 2017. Filament globes create soft mood lighting while completing the look of a pendant light. We are seeing many glass and frame pendants trending now which give the spotlight to the globe being used as it most often than not is fully exposed. There are many different filament options available and so it is important to consider the following:


LED filament globes improve the look of your pendants


What shape globe will compliment your pendant?



Pear Shape Globe: The pear shape globe is the most common filament globe used in a wide rage of pendants and extremely versatile.

Banana Filament Globe: the banana filament globe works best in linear fittings with restricted space. the banana globe also helps to elongate a fitting and can help to modernise a pendant

Spherical Filament Globe: Spherical Globes help emphasise the curve of a pendant and work best in round ball pendants.

How much light do you require from your pendant?

We can look directly at a filament globe and appreciate its beauty, which also tells us that these globes are not veryLED filament globes are perfect for bedrooms and more bright. Often our customers have the dilemma of falling in love with a single pendant and wanting to create the filament look but then not being able to get enough light from that single filament globe. There are a couple of options here... LED filament globes have many great benefits and one of them is their high lumen output. LED filament globes are much brighter than the standard 25w carbon filament globes and are much more energy efficient consuming only 4 watts per globe.



How easily can you replace the globes in your pendant?
Some Pendant lights are not easily accessible when changing globes and unfortunately the standard 25w filament globes do not have a long lifetime. LED filament globes on the other hand have a 3 year warranty and expected lifetime of 25,000 hours!! So although initially you will be spending a little more purchasing an LED filament, the money you will save in the long run due to low energy consumption and very low changeover of globes will be well worth it! LED's are a long term lighting solution, which means you can stop dreading when your pendant light needs a replacement bulb and instead enjoy the long lifetime of an LED and low energy consumption.


LED filament globes replicate the traditional filament look and although they do not look identical to the traditional bulb, the benefits of LED dramatically outweigh the overall performance of the filament globes.
