When it comes to lighting certain spaces in your home, using bare light fixtures using black wire pendant lamps may not serve the purpose adequately and provide the correct ambience. The kind of lighting these bulbs offer tends to be sharp and may be considered unpleasant to some people. Pairing Edison bulbs and clear glass fittings also fails in providing the required ambience. These fixtures are best suited for placement along the walls, in combination with other light sources used for areas wherein required.
Finally someone with some logic when it comes to bare lightbulbs. I’m sick of having my retina scorched.
In Sweden, we put "cozy lights" in our windows. So in the evening, we switch off our main lights and turn on those, which are much lower in intensity, as well as having more of a reddish hue.
Those "industrial lights?" No, they are to be somewhere under a lampshade
I love how you agree with me about a lot of those things, by the way. And you have a very nice, calming voice at that :)
I finally feel validated for how much I've irrationally hated these pendant lights. We have 3 in our kitchen and I hate them. I only use them on minimal brightness for a decent subtle glow, or to be left on overnight. And the edison bulbs I love for a dim, soft glow for a nice ambient addition, but for primary light, it's always been a subconscious bone of mine to pick.
I have similar light in my bedroom and the trick is to find dimm warm bulbs. All your examples have neutral and very bright bulbs that blind you and leave weird shadows, but if bulbs are dimm and super warm, like industrial orange warm, it looks better and fits the aesthetic of the fixture better
I wanted to install several clear ceiling light fixtures in a dark hallway, and found that LED milk glass globe light bulbs solved the problem of glare and also were authentic to my early 20th C. home. The slight distortion of the bulb through the glass fixture is also very appealing. There's very little dust and it's easily dealt with through an extending long handled dust mop.
First. I never understood the trend of those open bulbs. It literally hurts my eye.
I agree with most of the points in this content. For the "Bare Light Bulbs", I will counter that using a number of low lumen (e.g. 200 lumen) bulbs above say a dining table does work and the exposed filaments are not bright enough to burn one's retina. A warm bulb color (2100k / 2700k) also helps.
