The Exposed Light Bulb Trend!



If you have been flicking through any home design catalogue or browsing lighting website in the last year, you will noticed the growing trend of exposed bulb pendants. Our customers love this look, and it seems to be growing in popularity as more and more styles are released. This trend is blend of vintage, industrial and minimalist styles making it easy to incorporate into any home design. There are many ways that exposed bulbs can be used with in the home. Pendants can be installed just on their own to bring character and warmth to a space, or can be grouped together to create a larger pendant effect. Grouped globes will also bring more light to the space. Although an exposed pendant looks fabulous beside a sofa or hanging next to a desk, it can be a bit glarey if not installed at the right height, so keep that in mind when choosing heights. Safety is also another thing to consider when installing low hanging pendants. Globe breakages can happen easily with fragile bulbs, and they can also generate a lot of surface heat, which can be hazardous it you have young children around. These concerns can be eased if installed by a licensed Wollongong electrician. At John McEwan Electrical we can provide you with a free quote to supply & install all of your lighting desires.
