Shoppers Are Buying Multiples of This Vintage-Inspired $6 Outdoor Lighting Find
Lighting can make or break a room’s aesthetic, but it can also do the same for the outside of your home. If you want to make your home look cozier and charming from the exterior, then it’s time to reassess what kind of bulb you’re using. Rather than overhaul the entire fixture, just changing the bulb to a vintage-inspired find could make such a huge difference.
“One of the easiest ways to elevate your exterior lighting: flickering ‘gas-style’ bulbs,” Allison from @allisonskiffdotcom wrote in a recent Instagram caption. “They screw right into your existing lanterns, no gas line or electrician needed, and instantly give your home that high-end, old-world charm. The best part? They’re $6 making this one of the simplest outdoor upgrades you’ll ever do.”
How Gas-Style Bulbs Make Your Home’s Exterior Look So Cozy
Picture it: Gas-fueled lanterns look like candles, but outside. And these flickering bulbs from Amazon look like real flames that would be found in antique gas lamps. They’re LED but emit a warm glow that is reminiscent of a candle flame. They’re not super bright, but they provide just enough light to guide visitors to your front door and up the ambience of your front door area for the holidays.
“These are so cool! They really do mimic the look of gas! Especially from the street!” one Amazon shopper wrote in their review. “I have bought multiple sets.” And someone else added, “OK these are EVERYTHING!!! So glad I saw an influencer post these. They look so pretty and cozy for our front porch.”
You can also use these bulbs indoors, too. They’re great for chandeliers or any lamp that takes an E12 base bulb.
If your outdoor light takes a standard bulb, then check out these E26 flickering bulbs, also from Amazon. They’re a bit pricier, but these bulbs come with four modes and can even include a gravity sensor so the flame stays upright even if the bulb is installed upside down.
Flickering bulbs will make your home look so much more cozy this holiday season — it will seriously look like a set from a Christmas movie! Switch out your standard bulbs for gas-style ones on Amazon, and you may never go back to basic LEDs again.
