Filament Design Guide
Discover how different filament designs create different lighting moods, visual effects and brand expressions inside decorative glass bulbs. From classic spiral filaments to custom letters, symbols and colored designs, the filament is the heart of every atmosphere bulb.

The filament design is one of the most important visual elements in a decorative bulb. It determines how the bulb looks when turned on, how the light pattern appears inside the glass and what kind of atmosphere the product creates in a space.

For restaurants, cafes, hotels, bars, retail stores and branded interiors, a custom filament bulb is more than a light source. It can become a visual signature, a decorative detail and a part of the customer experience.

Our Filament Design Guide helps you understand different filament styles, including spiral filaments, X shape filaments, V shape filaments, flame shapes, moon shapes, letter shapes, colored filaments and fully customized patterns.
