The Serena Chandelier’s elegant form encloses a candelabra-style fixture that can hold six lightbulbs and is accented with a rustic gold finish. The glow of the lightbulbs will create an inviting atmosphere, especially when shimmering off the chandelier’s well-defined surface. A 6 feet chain is included, that allows for convenient installation at any height.

Globe Electric's 2.5W (40W equivalent) Vintage Candelabra LED Bulb. In the early days of electrical lighting, inventors such as Thomas Edison tested and retested as they searched for long-burning filaments. In 1890, the filament choice was carbonized cotton. Globe Electric’s bulbs have a tungsten filament, which is used to reproduce the single hairpin loop of a vintage design. Position it within a clear shade or exposed socket to enjoy its shape and ambient glow. This Edison inspired bulb is a Steampunk favorite with its glowing cage-shaped filament surrounding a central glass support. Crafted to preserve the look of early 20th-century lighting. Please note, these bulbs are not as bright as modern bulbs of the same wattage and are recommended for exposed socket fixtures. These bulbs can be dimmed.
