The “Matty 40″ by Bulb Statement is a handblown glass led light bulb with a Matte White coating on the interior of the glass. (So it won’t scratch off like inferior bulbs do.) This bulb is 5” in diameter and was specially made to work with our Large and Extra Large DOME shape Foldi Shades. These will also work with the small dome Foldi Shades but the bulb will protrude slightly from the bottom of the shade (some people love the look it gives when this occurs). This bulb is rated for 15,000 hours of use and is guaranteed for 3 years at use of 3 hours per day.
The “Matty 25” by Bulb Statement is another handblown glass led light bulb. This one is also made of hand blown glass and comes with a Matte White coating on the interior of the glass as well. This bulb is 3.125 inches in diameter. You can choose to use the Matty 25 with any of our shades, as it is compatible with all sizes and shapes.
How to choose the best/right size bulb to use with your Foldi pendant light shade:
– If you have any size Round Fold Shade you can ONLY use the Matty 25 due to the opening hole at the top of the round shade. The Matty 40 is too large to work with the round Foldi Shade opening. So if you have a round Foldi Shade, choose the Matty 25.
– If you have a Dome Foldi Shade you can choose between either the Matty 25 or the Matty 40 to use with your shade. We prefer the look of the larger Matty 40 with the Large and Round Dome Foldi Shades, as we feel it gives the perfect balance in size since it is viewable from the opening below.
Note that all product selection photos where you see our Foldi Shades lit were photographed with Large Foldi Shades. The round Foldi Shades have a Matty 25 inside and the dome Foldi Shades have a Matty 40 inside.
Both bulbs are 2700K color temperature and 5 watts. They give off the exact same amount of light. The only difference is the glass size and how it “displaces” or “shows” the light.
