Somewhere 15-20 years ago, the light bulb without a lampsier, lonely hanging on the ceiling, was considered a sign of poverty. But times and styles in the interior are changing. FROM Opired more and more designers try to get away from the ordinary, do not use chandeliers, ceiling, lampshades in the interior.

Advantages, flaws of retro light bulbs
The first thing I want to mention, such a reception in the interior design looks very stylish . But such light bulbs have many more advantages:
- Ecology . There is no mercury at the heart of the lighting rod as in conventional incandescent lamps.

- Retro light bulbs have a natural color reproduction, not distorting paints.
- Lamps can be of different shapes and sizes, which allows them to enter them into any interior, embody anyone, even the most bold design idea.
Disadvantages:
One of the most important drawbacks is the price. Because of the great popularity of the use of shops significantly increased the price of this device. The cost of one lamp can reach up to 2000 rubles. The difference with the usual light bulb is huge. Also, designers rarely use retro lamps alone, more often they make up compositions that consist of 5 to 10 lamps. The cost of such lighting can significantly exceed the price of the chandelier. By the way, the life of the lamps, with all the high costs, not big.
Also, retro lamps are not economical. One lamp can consume until 20W per hour, and if there are several such lamps in your apartment?
Another drawback is unsuccessful. The lamp is very heated when working and can burn, with any embarrassing movement. Therefore, it is not recommended to hang them strongly low. It is better not to use indoors where children are often located. You can purchase more secure retro lamps containing LED threads. According to design, they are practically identical, but do not heated when working, they have a lot of service longer, and they consume energy they are three times less.
