[Color: Amber, Color: Amber]
These vintage-style amber Edison bulbs have a beautiful warm glow and a great visible spiral filament. They add a lot of character in an exposed fixture, cage-style lamp, or a string of lights. They also work nicely behind a lampshade, where the amber glass creates a cozy, warm atmosphere instead of a harsh white light.My main concern is the wattage. These are advertised as 60W bulbs, but I tested them in two separate lamps and could not get one above 42W. In my three-way lamp, power use measured:Low: 11WMedium: 27WHigh: 41WIn a separate single-setting lamp, the bulb peaked at 42W.They also look dimmer than the 60W vintage bulbs I have used before, closer to a 40W bulb in both measured draw and light output. That is not necessarily a deal breaker for me because the warm, lower-intensity lighting suits reading lamps and ambient spaces well, but it is worth knowing if you are specifically expecting true 60W brightness.These bulbs do put out some heat, as expected from this style, but it feels like a pleasant ambient warmth rather than anything surprising. Overall, I like the look and the warm lighting very much; just buy them for their atmosphere and design, not for 60W-level brightness.
