What makes these bulbs "Decorative" as the description mentions?

They're the round kind that go above a bathroom mirror--kind of like the old makeup mirrors. They're not intended to go under a lamp shade.

They are round-like a ball- not the traditional light bulb shape. I use them in my bathroom fixtures and in my dining room chandelier.--In all these fixtures the bulbs are clearly visible and they look just like the old incandescent ball ones I used to have. I have replaced ALL the light bulbs in my home with LEDs and my June electric bill was $49.00 lower than last year. I believe the time delay in turning them on is minimal and it is ridiculous to rate these bulbs down because of that delay.

I don't know about decorative, but they are frosted for use in a vanity or bathroom fixture. Meaning that the bulbs themselves do not need to be covered by a shade.However, please be aware that they are not "instant on." I am using these bulbs in the same fixture with non-LED bulbs. The LED bulbs light up half a second after the non-LED bulbs, which is disconcerting.

The fact that they have a frosted glass dome over the lighting element. This allows it to be in those Hollywood dressing room style bathroom fixtures that are basically bulbs in a row.

They are not standard lightbulb-shaped (A19) but round globes. They would look strange in a table lamp. Instead they are usually used in groups over bathroom mirrors. I agree with the other person that there is a brief delay in starting.

I think it's simply the bulb style. These are very large bulbs typically found in bathroom vanity lighting, and in such a place the entire bulb is exposed. It'd be hard to put these in already-decorative lamps and such because of their size.

The shape of the bulb is different than a regular bulb so they are very decorative.

I think it means they are in bulk packaging, not individually packaged. They work just like regular single purchase bulbs.

Wow, I use them in my chandelier which has a "small" base, but it's been so long ago! Don't have any to look at. I get my chandelier bulbs at Lowe's now.

My building guy recommended regular-style bulbs with the dimmer switch; I am not certain why.

The stupid candelabra base bulbs. I converted them to regular ones so I could install $5 LED bulbs, just don't tell Broan.

The bulbs supplied were the shorter ones that do not stick out. They're not the traditional look, but put out a lot of light for about 15W. I've gotten used to them and have actually replaced some of my other lights with the same.

They are spot lamps. If you install them you need to make sure that they get enough air to stay cool otherwise they will run themselves hot and break. I do not recommend those as I had purchased about ten- 60% are broke at this point of time. tnx regards//phil

I have no idea. It was confusing to me too. I just ordered the string with bulbs, and then and re-ordered a set of backup bulbs that matched whatever was on the original box because they don't sell them at Home Depot, and they are great.

I hope this helps you. I ordered these 'bulbs' for a ceramic christmas tree. I ordered from the picture which clearly showed little bulbs with a 'stem' that you would insert into the ceramic tree. Exactly what I wanted. What I received was a totally different item. What I received was a package of gold colored beads that you would use to make a bracelet or necklace. I sent them back and ordered again thinking that a mixup occurred during the shipping. Sorry to say that I received the same exact item the second time, gold beads for a necklace or bracelet. Sent the second package back. If you are looking for bulbs for a ceramic Christmas tree, these are not it! Good Luck

These are not vintage. More light a piazza style of lights. They have a soft yellow hue not too bright but not to dim either. I love mine. Lastly, the base of the bulb is nickel not brass ,which rusts from the elements. These are a steal for the money. Not edison $$$$.

yes, but they do look a little weird. Would not be my first choice if the bulbs were visible.

There are three small bulbs inside. Last a long time. I have bought two of these. Are very classy. Good buy.

The bulbs are Christmas tree lights. Not very bright. More like a mood lighting.

I wish I could answer this for you but I received bulbs totally different than what I thought they were. I have no idea how to use these, sorry.

I don't know the technical name or type of the bulbs, but my husband just went to home depot and got chandelier bulbs and they work great. He bought the candle shaped ones (the flames) but I think next time I would prefer round. It's a great chandelier!

I would assume so as they look like any other indoor/outdoor bulb. I am using them indoor for window accent lights that turn on and off for night time use. They're not candelabra style shaped bulbs but more like the conventional night light shape. Base is candelabra style, just the glass shape of the bulb isn't normal candelabra shape. They seem to work and last OK. 7 1/2 watt.

They are led. Im not sure why it says that. Each "bulb" is about the size of a large pin head. Don't let it fool you though! They are very bright when set to full power. I love mine!
