Exposed filament light bulbs making a comeback in 2020

With recent changing of the law that banned old-fashioned electric light bulbs from being be sold in Britain and the rest of the EU, many people feel that they are stuck with the contemporary look of LED light bulbs in order to keep their homes and businesses light and bright.

However, some of the world’s leading light bulb manufacturers have come to the rescue of interior design lovers who prefer exposed filament bulbs to create a wide range of focal lighting features and vintage looks around the home.

With many of the less than energy-efficient filament light bulbs replaced by more efficient compact LED bulbs, many people who want to create a vintage or industrial look for their business or home will be thrilled to discover that not only does the BLT Direct range of hyper-efficient filament light bulbs offer the look they’ve been seeking, but they also help to keep energy bills in check thanks to the use of new technology.
