How to Choose the Right Bulb for Your Animal Lamp

Our sculptural lamps ship without a bulb, so you can choose the light that suits your room. Here's a quick guide to getting the best result.

Socket: E27

Every Officine 3D lamp has a standard E27 screw socket, the most common size in Europe, so bulbs are easy to find in any hardware store or online.

Type: LED filament

We recommend a warm LED filament bulb. It recreates the look of a vintage Edison bulb, which is what our animals are designed to hold, and it stays cool to the touch – ideal for a lamp made of PLA.

Colour temperature: warm

Look for a warm white light (around 2200–2700K on the box). It gives the soft amber glow you see in our photos. Cool white light looks harsh on a decorative lamp.

Shape and size

A globe or classic pear-shaped filament bulb looks most natural in the animal's paws. Very large bulbs can look out of proportion on smaller breeds, so a compact globe is a safe choice.

Brightness

These are accent lamps, not reading lights. A low-wattage filament bulb creates the cosiest atmosphere on a nightstand, shelf or desk.
