Edison globes that carry the character of a vintage filament with CRI 90 to 97+, rendering warm amber tones, textures, and skin with an accuracy that standard CRI 80 globes cannot match.

The Edison filament globe has earned its place in New Zealand homes precisely because it looks like light feels. Dulora's vintage Edison globe range brings that character together with CRI 90 to 97+, rendering warm amber tones, textures, and skin tones with an accuracy that standard CRI 80 globes cannot match, so the glow that comes through the clear glass envelope is both beautiful and truly correct.

Available in ST64 torpedo globe, G95 globe, and G125 globe forms across E27 and B22 bases in Extra Warm 2200K and Warm White 2700K. All dimmable models work smoothly with Dulora's own DimEzy range LED Light Dimmers from full brightness down to a barely-there glow.

Edison Globes: The Filament That Changed How New Zealanders Think About Light

What makes an Edison globe different from a standard LED globe?

An Edison globe has an exposed LED filament inside a clear glass envelope, producing a warm, amber-toned glow that is visible through the glass. It is both a light source and a design object. Where a standard frosted GLS globe is designed to disappear into a fitting, an Edison globe is designed to be seen.

The filament itself runs as a visible bar, spiral, or multi-loop structure inside the globe, and at 2200K or 2700K it produces the kind of warm glow that people associate with old incandescent light: rich, amber, and with a quality of warmth that cooler sources cannot replicate. At CRI 90 to 97+, it also renders colours with an accuracy that makes everything around it look better.

Which Edison globe form suits my fitting?

The three main forms in the Dulora Edison range suit different fitting types and visual scales. The ST64 torpedo shape, at 64mm in diameter with a tapered top, is the classic Edison profile and works well in bare-bulb pendants, cage fittings, and exposed-bulb installations where you want the globe's shape to be part of the aesthetic. The G95 globe form at 95mm diameter is rounder and more sculptural, suited to feature pendants and floor lamps where a larger, fuller visual presence is wanted. The G125 globe at 125mm is the statement option, for large-format pendants and high-ceiling spaces where scale matters.

For any fitting with an exposed globe, the ST64 is the most versatile starting point. If the fitting is large or the ceiling is high, move to the G95 or G125.

Do Edison globes work with a dimmer?

Yes, and they generally benefit from one more than most other globe types. The filament glow of an Edison globe at full brightness is warm and atmospheric; at 10 to 20 per cent on a good dimmer, the amber deepens and the room shifts into something entirely different.

All dimmable Dulora Edison globes are compatible with trailing-edge LED dimmers including the DimEzy range LED Light Dimmers. The dimming is smooth from 1 to 100 per cent without flicker or buzz, and the warm colour at low levels is exactly what makes these globes worth having in the first place.

What colour temperature is best for an Edison globe?

Extra Warm 2200K is the natural choice for most Edison globe applications. The amber filament glow is what the aesthetic is built around, and 2200K is where that glow is most convincing. It suits dining rooms, living areas, bars, cafes, and any space where the priority is atmosphere over task performance.

Warm White 2700K is slightly brighter and a touch less amber, making it a better fit where the Edison globe needs to pull some double duty across the day. If the fitting is the only light source in the room and the space is used for evening dining and morning reading equally, 2700K gives more flexibility. For dedicated atmosphere-first applications, 2200K is the recommendation.
