Do you love the look of vintage incandescent bulbs? With amber glass, glowing filaments, and shapes reminiscent of yesteryear, Philips vintage filament LED bulbs bridge the gap between retro style and modern energy efficiency. These bulbs are growing in popularity and lighting up homes with the warm touch of nostalgia. With a crystal-clear glass bulb and an intricate LED filament, these vintage LEDs demand to be seen and look beautiful on or off. When turned on, the filament emits the familiar orange glow that we loved about incandescent. With no visible flickering and instant full brightness when switched on, you will also enjoy soft and evenly distributed light.
