Candle lamp

Today, an ordinary light bulb of Ilyich acquires new forms and ceases to be just a source of light. By acquiring new, more aesthetic forms, it develops into something completely different, becoming a decorative part of the interior. And thanks to new technologies, the ordinary lamp transforms the space around itself, adding comfort and individuality to the room. So, on the shelves of stores now you can often see the bulbs of the most bizarre design. Today we will talk about the so-called lamp-candle.

A candle lamp may vary depending on the shape, color, size and type of action. There are several of the most common forms of candle lamps:

• Candle. This is a common lamp made in the shape of a candle flame. It has an elongated shape with a narrowed tip, visually reminiscent of fire. It is usually screwed into places where it is not possible to insert a standard round lamp due to its large size.
• Candle in the wind. The shape is slightly curved, as if imitating a flame that oscillates from a whiff of wind. Hence its name. As a rule, such light sources do not possess powerful light output and rather serve as additional light sources. The most popular lamps are white with warm light.
• Twisted candle. The bulb in such a lamp has the shape of a twisted candle and looks very nice: as if the flame is about to come off the wick. Such specimens also serve as an element of decorative lighting.
• Flame of fire Unlike the previous varieties, where the flask has a smooth surface, the shape of this lamp is corrugated, as if imitating intertwining flames.

As for the color design, here designers are trying to surprise consumers with new and new delights. The most common simple candlelight has a transparent flask through which the rays of light pass as they are. Next comes the popularity of the lamp with a matte bulb, which somewhat mutes the outgoing glow from the inside.

There are also several exotic designs of the flasks: colored, monochromatic - white, golden, imitating different textures (for example, stone), or multi-colored - with smooth transitions from one color to another.

In fairness it should be noted that such items of lighting began to make a long time ago. Initially, the candle-shaped lamps, except for the form, were no different from ordinary round light bulbs. They still have the same standard base, and often interest in them is purely decorative. However, with the development of advanced technologies they began to transform and acquire all new properties. For example, incandescent bulbs are increasingly being replaced with halogen bulbs, and they, in turn, with LEDs.

LED are considered the most modern and progressive in the world of lighting devices. Their significant disadvantage is that the price of such products is much higher than that of ordinary lamps. However, they are considered long-lived compared to previous generation lamps. Manufacturers claim that with an operating mode of about three hours a day - and this is the average indicator of the operation of light bulbs at home - the LED candle light will serve not only its owners, but also their children. In addition, it consumes energy at times less than its predecessors.

LED lamps in the form of candles in their characteristics are not much different from conventional lamps and also have two of the most popular types of color rays.Warm white has a yellowish tint, reminiscent of a sunny day and is most comfortable for human perception - its glow is softer, it does not hurt eyesight. However, in terms of brightness, such a candle-lamp is somewhat inferior to a lamp with cold white light. The latter gives a more intense, but at the same time, a sharper stream of light that is not suitable for everyone.

However, due to their high cost among the general public, they are still not as common as incandescent bulbs, which can easily be bought at any store. In color, they can be both with a transparent flask and with a matte. The most popular color is white. Less common are candle lamps with a colored bulb. Various effects may also be present in them: for example, the flask itself may be completely neutral, and inside it a wick depicting flickering fire. There are lamps that can change the intensity of the glow.

Consider the following options:

• Ceiling chandeliers. The most common example is open-type lamps, where the lampshade or ceiling lamp is purely conventional or absent altogether. Today, shops can offer their customers chandeliers with a remote control to be able to adjust the brightness of the glow.

• Wall sconces. Any ceiling chandelier will be the most advantageous to look at if you choose wall lamps with an LED candle lamp as a kit for it. With them you will have the opportunity to enjoy the game of artificial flame, not only on the ceiling, but also on the walls. Their indisputable advantage is that they do not heat up. This ensures the safety of wallpaper on the walls and eliminates the likelihood of a fire.

• Table lamps. Now in fashion desk lighting, which are made in the form of a candle. Inside the case itself, a miniature lamp that simulates a burning effect is hidden. Some lamps can change not only the brightness of the lighting, but also the color. Such devices look very nice in the bedroom or in the nursery as a night lamp. They can also be put on the electric fire so that the flames of the candlelight lamp and the fireplace echo each other and represent a single whole.

• Garlands. Often, such products in a miniature version can be seen in the New Year's garlands, which we all love to decorate our home for the New Year holidays.These may be garlands, where the ceiling lamps themselves have the shape of a candle with a bright tip depicting fire, or there may simply be light bulbs in the form of flames. At the same time on a single garland bulbs of several colors can change the intensity of light.
