Our large 40W 1890 Carbon-filament bulb -- a Thomas Edison replica -- provides light via its tall single-loop filament. See it on our Burnside and Skidmore pendants.

Tips: See other handsome reproduction bulbs in various shapes and wattages, including 30W, 40W, and 60W.

Unanchored carbon-filament bulbs are best pointed up or down and can fail if installed horizontally or at an angle.

Carbon-filament light bulbs debuted in the 1890s and lit the way until 1912, when the bright and powerful tungsten-filament bulbs transformed the industry.

Painted bulbs, introduced in the 1920s, added a decorative touch to tungsten bulbs and the exposed-bulb fixtures popular at the time.
