What Are Edison Light Bulbs?
Edison light bulbs are replicas designed to mimic the original bulbs created by Thomas Edison over a century ago. These are incandescent bulbs featuring filaments and glass lenses that resemble the classic Edison style. On the other hand, LED Edison bulbs also take on the vintage shape but use a thin LED strip as the filament. They can emit warm yellow tones similar to the original bulbs or cooler white shades like modern incandescent options. The great thing about LED Edison bulbs is that they last five times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs and consume much less electricity.
The LED tech in these bulbs is relatively new, and we can look forward to significant advancements in their appearance and efficiency soon.
This technology has opened up a whole new range of options that weren’t possible with incandescent bulbs. As mentioned, you can choose light colours from warm yellow to cool daylight. This flexibility allows you to pick Edison globes with a brighter, cooler hue for spaces that need it, like your bathroom, home office, dining room, or kitchen.

Using Edison Bulbs in Enclosed Fixtures
You can use the classic incandescent Edison bulbs in enclosed fixtures, as long as you stick to the wattage limits set by the fixture's manufacturer. Usually, there’s a label on the fixture that says something like 40-watt max or 60-watt max. But when it comes to LED bulbs, things are a bit different.
For Edison LED bulbs, you need to make sure they’re rated or approved for enclosed fixtures. A lot of them aren’t, and many people don’t realise they should be checking for this. Using the wrong type of LED bulb can definitely cut down its lifespan and lead to early dimming.
So, when you’re out shopping for LED bulbs for enclosed fixtures, be sure to check all the features. If it doesn’t say it’s listed or approved for enclosed fixtures, then it probably isn’t.
