This “Absolutely Beautiful” $26 Stained Glass Hack Is Going Viral — and Flying Off Shelves

My goal in life is to be one of those people whose home is adorned with special little details that receive compliments every time guests visit. And I’m not just talking about fancy glassware or cool wall art, because those are obvious things most people have. I’m talking about items that have been carefully curated to make my space look unique. Ones that I might not even think to buy until I see them and realize how well they would fit.

That being said, having a curated space doesn’t mean you can’t take inspiration from others. I find plenty of my own inspo on TikTok, which is where I first learned of stained glass light bulbs. GE makes some that you can occasionally find at retailers like Target and Walmart, but customers note that they’re often sold out — especially if you’re shopping in person. Fortunately, I found very similar bulbs on Amazon, and reviewers can’t seem to get enough of them. The Bluex LED stained glass light bulbs are a must if you’re trying to achieve a cozy ambiance, and they conveniently come in sets of two and four.

As you can see, what makes these bulbs special is their dazzling stained glass-inspired design. You can expect them to emit a colorful light as a result of their vibrant color scheme, but even when turned off the bulbs can serve as decor all on their own. The bulbs are also dimmable, although Amazon reviewers note that even at their highest setting they’re not especially bright.

In other words, if you’re looking for something that’s going to illuminate an entire room, these aren’t it. Instead, they’re great for floor or table lamps that serve a more decorative purpose. You’ll be happy to learn that the light bulbs use only two watts of power each, meaning they’re relatively energy-efficient compared to other bulbs. For this reason, they also have a long lifespan and will save you money in the long run.

“Actually love these as nightlights throughout my house! These bulbs give a great warm comfy feeling while still being able to see. Also can’t find them in stores anymore, and even then, they’re twice the price. Love, love, love these bulbs … ” —Elizabeth

“I’m so annoyed I hadn’t heard about stained glass bulbs until now! These are stunning, especially in a corner. They’re not going to give a ton of light — they’re more decorative than anything — but I’m actually surprised they’re as bright as they are. I love them.” —Shannon

“So, a bit on the pricey side but worth it, as they do last a long time. Great for a soft nightlight or to highlight a decorative area in the evenings. I’ve been using these bulbs for almost 17 years. Makes me LOVE how my living room looks all year round.” —Annastasia

If you’d prefer your home to have a more inviting ambience, snag these bulbs ASAP. They’d look so cozy and artful in any room. In fact, you might grab a four-pack or multiple sets for the entire home. Endless compliments await!
