Retro-style lamps can be used with or without decorative lampshades. In the second case, the light bulb will come to the interior of brutality and emphasizes the bold taste of the owners. The main feature of a retro loft bulb is that the light source is an unmasked tungsten filament. The design has no restrictions in terms of figures, you can find the product of the most outstanding forms.
The standard size is considered E27, also manufacturers produce devices with a base B22 or B14. Light bulbs create a cozy and warm lighting, white or yellow. Soft light is an important addition to the brutal atmosphere of a loft, it makes it more homely and comfortable, without violating the integrity.
Edison Bulb, Varieties of Tungsten Filament Shape:
- In the form of a sheet,
- Hairpin
- Spiral shaped
- In the shape of a Christmas tree
- In the form of a cell, proteins,
- Looped.
Lamps in the loft style have a number of important advantages, consider them:
- In their design, there is no mercury, unlike energy-saving devices,
- Bright light spreads well over a large area of the room,
- The original glow complements the loft-style interior,
- The arsenal has many outstanding shapes and sizes,
- For installation, a classic cartridge is used.
The history of the lamp.
Humanity has been looking for ways to illuminate its homes since the advent of the mind. For centuries, fire has been used: bonfires, torches, candles. At the beginning of the XIX century, the inventors of Europe, America and Russia together decided to master the recently invented electricity - to create a lighting device. Over the course of fifty years, scientists have come up with several different light bulb prototypes. But only Thomas Edison in 1879, after almost 6,000 experiments, managed to create a device that worked on the basis of carbon fiber for more than 40 hours. Despite the short life, the device began to displace gas lighting. Moreover, Edison automated and cheapened the production of bulbs, he was able to make the price as low as possible. All this led to the availability of light bulbs for the general population.
Scientists continued to improve the design: instead of carbon filaments, tungsten spirals were used, and argon was pumped into the flask. Service life has increased markedly. By the beginning of the 20th century, Edison's incandescent lamp acquired a design that has survived to this day without much change.
Edison's vintage lamp consists of the following main parts:
- cap - the most commonly used standard E27meet B22 and B14,
- glass flask different of forms and colors,
- filament: tungsten or LED.

A sealed glass flask filled with argon. From the cap are two electrodes on which the filament is held. With the passage of electric current, the thread heats up and begins to glow - the light comes on.

Types of Edison lamps.
The fantasy for the shape of a retro lamp knows no bounds: a classic “pear” or a fashionable “diamond”, spherical or cylindrical, rectangular or trapezoidal, tapering or expanding towards the end. Ball-shaped lamps reach a diameter of up to 25 cm, and cylindrical - up to 28 cm in length.
Most often there are lamps in a pleasant amber color. Gilded and silver-plated versions are less commonly produced.
The filament, regardless of whether it is tungsten or LED, most often has a bizarre shape. There are lamps with a hairpin, leaf-shaped, spiral, herringbone thread. You can see the filament in the form of loops or squirrel cages. Sometimes designers use several interwoven threads in one palm - a very original solution. It is worth noting that the number of incandescent filaments affects only the price, but not the luminous power.
The lamps can be used in a conventional lamp or suspended from a ceiling on a cord (a lampshade is not necessary at all).
How to connect an Edison lamp with your own hands.
Use our tips above, and think carefully about where to hang the lights, and in what quantity. After drawing up the plan, you need to purchase the necessary elements: in fact lamp, cords or stylized wires and cartridges.
The design of the lamps is discussed above. The wires can be used one at a time or twisted and braided with a textile braid (there is a wide selection in stores).
Cartridges are best taken stylized, made of aged metal in different colors. If desired, you can also replace sockets with switches with antique stylized ones.
Next, you should hang the lamps in their intended places, because to connect them, only an electric network of 220 V.
Terms of use.
Do not forget the safety rules when using fixtures:
- Only certified cartridges must be used for connection.
- Insert and turn out the lamps should only be in a cold state: you will not burn your hands, and will shine longer.
- The life of the bulbs can be extended by reducing the number of on-off cycles.
- When using dumps in a portable lamp, transfer it from place to place only when it is turned off.
