LED Squirrel Cage ST64

Squirrel Cage (ST64) LED Lamps are a direct replacement to the old squirrel caged lamps so loved by pubs and restaurants. These lamps were the modern replacements for the vintage carbon heater lamps whose origins go back to the invention of the electric light bulb itself.

The modern led versions are available in different colours and finishes and many are dimmable.

Remember always use an LED dimmer.

Information about ST64 Squirrel Cage Lamps or Edison Bulbs

The ST64 lamps are based upon the original Edison carbon filament lamps with a pip on the top. This shape of bulbs was used in squirrel caged lamps. The original squirrel caged lamps had a large number of parallel filiaments arranged in a cylinder. These lamps became very popular for their lovely decorative appearance and with the invention of LED filiaments it has allowed the effect to be re-created and a new lease of life given to the design. 

The new led versions of these lamps have retained the original shape with a blunted pip but modern technology has allowed the light bulb designers a free hand to develop the lamps  in ways that were vever possible in the past. They are available with lots of tints and colours, the filaments have evolved and there is a choice if straight and spiral, long and short etc etc.
