Buying Guide

A large globe pendant light can be a beautiful addition to your spaces and can have a variety of shapes, size, and appearance. It is an easy solution to dark corners or to a ceiling that is too high for a central light fixture to be effective. The globe can be clear, frosted or translucent. It can be crystalline, tear-drop shaped, or round. It could even have an organic rather than geometric shape. Its only requirement is that is pendant and that it is more or less global in aspect.
Clear Crystal or Clear Round Globes
A clear crystal pendant globe has the advantage of not obstructing the light. The bulb is visible through the globe making it ideal for using a decorative bulb or a bulb that emulates a flickering flame. Another interesting effect is to use colored bulbs in the clear globe – you can even mix and match the globes in one room.
“Open” Globes
These are open-air arrangements of wood or metal that encircle the light source but do not act as a shade or an obstruction to the light. Loaded with a bulb fashioned in the style of an antique Edison bulb, the visual effect is charming and unique. The bulb is framed, placing an emphasis on its unique shape and style.
Another type of open globe conceals more standardized candle lamp bulbs within the spokes of the globe. The illumination source is concealed, but with four of them they cast an efficient light.
Finally, in the open globe style, is the candelabra globe. A cluster of lights in candelabra style are in the center of the globe and the enclosing bands form an openwork globe. The bands can be made of thin strips of metal or they can be more rounded like rods or heavy-duty wires. The effect is airy and delicate.
Frosted or Colored Globes
As you might expect, these translucent globes soften the light from the naked bulb, gentling it to a more romantic or slow-down for the evening kind of light. Their gentle illumination is perfect for night lights, romantic balcony lights or even for general illumination.
Cut-Out Globes
Resembling Japanese lanterns, these light covers are made of metal that has been cut. One model has slots in it, another looks like one of those amazing paper-cut projects that children bring home from art class – but it isn’t made of paper, it is created from thin metal. A third lamp looks as if someone was playing with a set of magnets. The ends of metal pieces are stuck together like a wild nest of jackstraws, in an oddly charming sort of way.
Globes can be a way to display unique light bulbs or to hide ordinary ones. They can be decorative in and of themselves, or they can enhance other aspects of your décor. They can be used in almost any sort of decorating scheme – just select the globe that goes with your other furnishings. Large globe pendant lights need no excuse – they are beautiful and useful.
