Each and every Niche pendant light comes equipped with a standard bulb. Depending on what pendant light you choose, the standard bulb option varies. The standard bulb is usually a traditional incandescent bulb. However, you can use both LED and CFL bulbs as well. We offer several to choose from to make your pendant light look and feel just how you want it. What's the best option? Take a look at some advantages of LED and CFL bulbs.
