All You Need To Know About Ceiling Fan Bulbs
The ceiling fan is not something that are often thought about when it comes to ceiling fan lighting, but it is very important for a fan to look good and function well. Many ceiling fan bulbs simply use a regular light base (usually these have a small base smaller than an ordinary bulb) and some use a crystal or gem-styled base. You will also need to think about the kind of effect you would like. If you are interested in something with a bit more of a traditional look, then go with something such as ceiling fan bulbs with a balled-in finish.
Alternatively you could go for ceiling fan bulbs that are more in line with today’s more decorative lighting trends. In this case you will be looking for something that looks like it has been decorated with glass or mirrors – think about contemporary crystal chandeliers and you will probably be thinking about this. Candelabra ceiling fan light bulbs are in this style, and they are also available in both ball-type and vase-style bases. The one thing to remember when it comes to this style is that they tend to give off quite a strong odor, so if this isn’t something you enjoy then it may not be the best option for you.
Finally, there are also LED ceiling fan bulbs. These bulbs are becoming popular in the UK because they look really good, but unlike their regular counterparts they give off little to no light at all – they are actually purely functional. While this might not sound all that bad at first, if you place one of these on a table near a lamp or a potted plant you will barely notice it exists. However this is not the case with traditional ceiling fans, as you will need to make sure that the room is brightly lit. LED light bulbs are ideal for this because they give off just enough light to light the area without making it too bright.
