Although you may have not recognized them, Half Chrome Light Bulbs have been used in commercial buildings for many years. Typically used in environments where a glare needs to be reduced, the chrome coating shields the filament, ultimately making the bulb an indirect source of light. They are a wonderful lighting choice wherever you need to keep light directly out of people’s eyes. Such situations can include bathrooms, kitchens, offices, or restaurants where overhead pendants have a very close proximity to one’s eyes.

Their characteristic silver top sets them apart from traditional standard incandescent light bulbs. Depending on the style ordered, chrome bulbs are available in 60-150 watts each and have a standard, screw in base (which means they will fit right into most of your home’s current fixtures). The G40 Chrome Bulbs are a larger and more circular style than their standard counterparts. This style of bulb has been popping up more and more on the design scene and when placed in a single socket fixture, similar to the Indy Industrial Pendant, the pair become a sleek, industrial set ideal for retail locations and libraries like you see at the top.

The sample photo above shows a great example of a the Half Chrome bulbs during day and night settings. During the day when the light is not in use, the bulb acts as almost a decorative accent when reflecting light off its chrome base. By night, the chrome base indirectly reflects light back against the wall creating a wide spread of soft light. This is a great wall mount solution to closets, hallways, or home offices that lack space or adequate lighting.
