Mini Vintage Light Strings 

Vintage Light Strings Details




"At Maialino, the Roman-style trattoria on Gramercy Park, they hover in groups of two and three. At the Standard Grill in the meatpacking district, they snake through the cafe, restaurant and patio. And at Recipe, a rustic spot on the Upper West Side, they cluster near the entrance as an enticement.  

Even at Weddings they mingle into the floral displays or just hang about all alone. Sometimes in great hordes too .  

They are not the latest cliques of beautiful people, but something quite old and plain: exposed-filament bulbs, reproductions of Thomas Alva Edison’s first light bulb. Their antique glow has spread like a power surge.

Whether in hip hangouts tapping into the popular Victorian industrial look - Steam Punk, or elegant rooms seeking to warm up their atmosphere, the bulb has become a staple for decorators and designers, in part because it emulates candlelight and flatters both dinner and diner."

So to keep up with the latest trends "The In Thing ..." brings you to compliment the 'Naked Bulb' Trend ...

Choose from the 4 different models - 2 models only in **Warm White & all 4 in Pure White LED:

“Edison didn’t invent the light bulb, he improved upon the ideas of 22 other men who pioneered the light bulb before him. Edison simply figured out how to sell the light bulb.”
