The small anchored double loop filament in our 30W Victorian Carbon-filament Bulb is typical of those used in most early-20th-century lighting.

Tips: This bulb is the same size and shape as the 60W version, but with lower output.

See the 40W 1890 Carbon-filament Bulb and the 40W 1893 Carbon-filament Bulb for more options.

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.
