▸ WHEN TO USE THE EDISON BULB

• To add an eclectic design element
• To create a focal point or a “wow” piece
• To emulate candlelight

▸ WHERE TO USE THE EDISON BULB

• The ceiling (pendants/chandeliers)This is typically the first place people consider when lighting a room and is a wonderful way to set the tone for design.
• Accent wall lighting (sconces): Use them in the entryway or hallway, as sconces or as lighting for a reading nook.
• Outdoors: Vintage lighting can enhance any outdoor area with the same level of sure-footed confidence that it can an indoor room. In fact, it often pairs well with more rustic style patio or deck furniture.

WILL THE BULB EVER BURN OUT?

As current trends have predicted, vintage lighting and the exposed Edison bulb are still going strong. The appeal of nostalgic design is still ever-present, furthered along by the fact that Edison bulbs have been modernized to be more energy efficient (they are still not as efficient as LEDs however) and longer-lasting. Their warm hue has become even more appealing as design trends have embraced softer colors and warmer metals like gold, brass and copper, as opposed to silver and like-metallics.
