What kind of bulbs are used?

All of the bulbs for the Silica Series use specialty incandescent bulbs.

These are the same format as a normal bulb socket, but the shape of the bulbs are unique and rather than being a frosted bulb, the glass is clear so that the filaments are visible.

The bulbs we use with our fixtures play a huge role in the design and integrity of each piece. They range in wattage and longevity.

We stock the bulbs for easy re-order and each of our lights is sold with a bulb included.

How many watts are the bulbs?

The bulbs vary in wattage depending on the design.

The following fixtures use 75W bulbs:
Pharos
Pod
Stamen
Bell Jar
Bella

The Solitaire uses a 40W Edison bulb.

The Terra uses a total of four 15W bulbs that amount to 60W.

The Aurora uses either a 20W or a 40W bulb.

Where do I get replacement bulbs?

Niche Modern sells replacement bulbs as a courtesy to our customers. Please email us which bulb you need to replace.

We do not currently sell bulbs separately to non-customers. Please have your original order # or the name under which your order was placed when requesting replacement bulbs.

Most of the bulbs can be sourced through larger bulb suppliers, although you may pay a premium for smaller quantities, so be sure to check with us first.

How long do the bulbs last?

Most of the bulbs are rated between 2000 – 3000 hours (your mileage may vary).

While some of the bulbs are quite durable and resilient, the tubular filament bulbs are fragile and do need to be handled with care.
