Painted Light Bulbs For Antique Lighting

Collectibles : Lamps, Lighting

 

Now available painted bulbs that haven't been available since 1935! (Formerly known as incandescent lamps) for those wonderful funky 1920s and 1930s fixtures that were made to hold only bulbs. Now you can finally use those beautiful unusable fixtures! These are all new extended life bulbs that are almost the same size and shape as the early painted ones. They are only made in clear and glossy white, so they have to be matte painted by hand to simulate the old original colors. The filaments are not the beautiful zigzag pattern like some of the old ones, but more of a semi-circle. The small round bulbs are 2 1/2 inches in diameter while the large round bulbs are 3 inches. The flame bulbs are all the same size they measure 1-3/4 inches in diameter by 3 1/2 inches tall from the top of the bulb socket and all bulbs have the medium Edison screw base - the same as the normal U.S. household bulb. This is the main line of bulbs available, and they light up just like the old ones (the Gold bulbs give off the most light for the wattage, while the Orange bulbs give off a rosy light like a glowing fireplace). The flame bulbs should only be used pointing upwards as in the candle socket fixtures.
