What can I say about the bulb? It works? Yes it works. I wish they weren't so "bright white" because they're in shadeless sconces in my living room, but I just can't get between this style and the amber light that's almost orange most of the time. bright. At 25 watts they do the job, but somehow they look a lot whiter than the old, old ones that were around years ago. They have a small band attached to the bulb, so they're a bit more elegant than regular flat glass chandeliers.
