​Term Spotlight: G-Series Bulbs and their Uses

Most people’s everyday experience with globe or G-series lights is likely as illumination in their bathroom vanities. Dressing rooms as depicted in Hollywood tend to feature a frame of globe lights around the actors’ mirrors to provide maximum illumination for makeup artists and hair stylists. But there are many more uses for these beautiful, spherical bulbs.

A trend in the teens and twenties has been hanging strings of lights for backyards, decks, events, and other times and places where soft, ambient lighting is desired. Globe lights are a great option for these string lights.

Many decorative light fixtures are enhanced with the addition of these globe bulbs. While they can be used in enclosed fixtures, their spherical design is often used as part of the decorative element of the fixture itself.

Sunlake’s G25 globe light is a fantastic, versatile, and well rounded fixture for nearly any indoor lighting need. They come with a 10-year warranty and are available in 3000K warm white and 5000K daylight colors. We recommend the warm white for decorative fixtures in living rooms, dining rooms, and other living spaces and the daylight bulbs for bathrooms or other areas where brighter, whiter light is needed.
