Light Bulbs

The right bulb matters more than most people expect: a beautiful fitting with a poor lamp in it looks cheap, and no amount of brass will rescue it. These are high-CRI LED bulbs in E27, E14 and GU10 fittings, chosen to render colour honestly and to dim warm rather than grey. Stay at 2700K for anything decorative, and specify a trailing-edge dimmer — most LED flicker and buzz traces back to the dimmer, not the bulb.
