Infuse your space with vintage charm and inviting warmth using the Bulbrite CA10 Torpedo/Flame bulb (Item #408040). This classic incandescent decorative bulb is designed to deliver warm, ambient light — perfect for chandeliers, wall sconces, flush-mount fixtures, and any exposed-bulb designs where aesthetics matter.

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• Elegant Torpedo/Flame Shape: The CA10 “torpedo” / flame-tip design adds refined, old-world character, ideal for decorative lighting in homes, restaurants, hotels, and historic properties.
• Warm, Inviting Glow: At 2700 K, this bulb emits a warm white light that flatters skin tones, enhances wood finishes, and creates cozy, inviting interiors. 
• Balanced Light Output: Produces approximately 280–370 lumens (as rated by Bulbrite) while drawing 40 W — bright enough for ambient or accent lighting without overpowering the room.
• Standard E26 Medium Base: Fits most standard household fixtures without adapters — easy, drop-in installation for chandeliers, sconces, vanity lights, and more.
• Clear Glass Finish: The transparent glass finish shows the filament and pairs beautifully with open or glass-shade fixtures for an authentic vintage aesthetic. 
• Fully Dimmable: Compatible with most dimmer switches — ideal for setting the mood / varying light levels depending on time of day or activity. 
• Reliable Performance: Rated average life of ~3,750 hours, giving dependable service in everyday decorative fixtures.

Ideal Use Cases

This Bulbrite CA10 bulb is especially suitable for:

• Decorative chandeliers, flush mounts, pendants in dining rooms, foyers, living rooms, entryways, and hallways.
• Wall sconces, vanity fixtures, exposed-bulb lamps, or any fixture where the bulb appearance contributes to overall style.
• Hospitality environments — restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels — where warm ambient lighting creates an inviting, cozy atmosphere.
• Historic, vintage, or transitional-style interiors that benefit from classic bulb shape and warm-white light.
• Accent or ambient lighting scenarios rather than bright task lighting — ideal for creating mood and ambience rather than focused illumination.

Why This Bulb Stands Out

If you’re looking for a bulb that blends dependable performance with classic decorative styling and warm, inviting light — the Bulbrite CA10 408040 is a smart choice. Its standard E26 base makes installation easy, and the clear flame-tip glass adds vintage character that complements chandeliers, sconces, pendants, and open-shade fixtures. The warm 2700 K glow creates cozy atmospheres in living rooms, dining areas, cafes, or hospitality spaces — while the high CRI ensures colors pop and spaces feel natural and intimate.

Note: Because this bulb is not rated for fully enclosed fixtures, avoid using it inside sealed fixtures or those lacking ventilation, to ensure safety and longevity. For maximum life, pair with fixtures compatible with incandescent bulbs and ensure dimmer switches are compatible with incandescent loads.
