Unique Lightbulbs & Decorative Display Light Bulbs

Shop Unique Display Light Bulbs for Every Room

Lighting is one of the most crucial factors to get right in your home, and choosing the right bulb can completely transform a space. At Abbeygate Lighting, we offer a wide range of display light bulbs and decorative bulbs to help you achieve the perfect look and atmosphere.

Whether you’re brightening up your kitchen, creating a cosy bedroom glow, or adding character to a living room or hallway, our quirky lightbulbs are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, styles, and fittings to suit every type of light fitting.

Types of Light Bulbs Available at Abbeygate Lighting

We stock a carefully selected range of light bulbs suitable for both decorative and practical use:

LED Bulbs

LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs are the most energy-efficient option available, using up to 90% less energy than traditional bulbs. With the longest lifespan of all bulb types, LED bulbs are ideal for lamps, nightlights, under-cabinet lighting, and decorative light fittings where efficiency matters.

Halogen Bulbs

Halogen bulbs use halogen gas to increase light output while maintaining a longer lifespan than standard incandescent bulbs. Around 20% more efficient than traditional bulbs, they work particularly well for directed lighting such as spotlights, floodlights, work lighting, and under-cabinet applications.

Choose From a Range of Decorative Bulb Shapes & Styles

Our unique lightbulbs are available in a wide variety of decorative styles, making them perfect for exposed fittings and feature lighting:

• Classic filament bulbs designed for use with lampshades and open light fittings
• Candle-style bulbs that resemble a flame, ideal for chandeliers and wall lights
• Round globe bulbs for bold, decorative statements
• Vintage-style bulbs with a warm amber glow that replicates traditional filament lighting
• Coloured bulbs for creative, decorative, and ambient lighting effects

These display light bulbs allow you to personalise your lighting and add visual interest to any room, making them ideal for feature lighting and statement displays

Are All Light Bulbs Dimmable?

While many bulbs are dimmable, not all light bulbs are compatible with dimmer switches. If you require dimmable light bulbs, always check the product specifications carefully to ensure suitability with your fitting and dimmer type. Using the correct bulb ensures smooth dimming and avoids flickering or reduced bulb life.

Environmentally Friendly & Energy-Efficient Light Bulbs

For eco-conscious homes, LED bulbs are the most environmentally friendly lighting option. They consume significantly less energy, generate less heat, and can last up to 20 times longer than halogen or incandescent bulbs. This makes them more cost-effective in the long run and better for reducing energy usage.

Halogen bulbs, while brighter in some applications, consume more energy and have a shorter lifespan, making LED lighting the preferred choice for most modern homes.

Understanding Light Bulb Codes & Fittings

Light bulb codes consist of letters and numbers that describe the bulb’s shape and base type. The letter refers to the fitting, while the number indicates size in millimetres.

• B = Bayonet cap
• E = Edison screw
• G = Multiple pin base

For example, E10 refers to a screw-based bulb with a 10mm diameter, while G5 indicates a multi-pin bulb with a 5mm distance between pins. Understanding these codes helps ensure you choose the correct bulb for your light fitting. Check out our guide to bulb specifications for more information.
