What Bulbs Go On Chandeliers?

Which Bulb Do I Put On My Chandelier?

Chandeliers can accommodate various types of bulbs depending on their design and the specific requirements of the fixture. Here are a few common types of bulbs used in chandeliers:

Incandescent Bulbs: Traditional incandescent bulbs produce warm, soft light and come in various shapes, such as candelabra bulbs (E12 base) and medium base bulbs (E26/E27 base).

LED Bulbs: LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs are energy-efficient and available in different shapes and sizes. They can provide a range of color temperatures and dimming options, making them a popular choice for chandeliers.

Halogen Bulbs: Halogen bulbs produce a bright, white light and are often used for task lighting or in chandeliers with a modern aesthetic. They are available in various shapes, including G4 and G9 bases.

Candle Bulbs: These bulbs mimic the appearance of candle flames and are commonly used in chandeliers to create a classic or vintage look. They are available in incandescent, LED or filament LED options.

Globe Bulbs: Globe-shaped bulbs are spherical and can add a unique visual appeal to chandeliers. They are available in various sizes and can be found in incandescent, LED or filament LED versions.

Decorative Bulbs: Chandeliers often incorporate decorative bulbs, such as Edison-style bulbs or vintage filament bulbs. These bulbs feature exposed filaments and can add a nostalgic or industrial charm to the fixture.

It's essential to refer to the chandelier manufacturer's guidelines and specifications to determine the appropriate bulb type, wattage and base size for your specific chandelier model.
