PS-shaped bulbs are pear-shaped bulbs with a rounded, slightly elongated form. The "PS" in their name refers to their pear-straight shape, which combines the rounded top of a standard A-series bulb with a straighter neck and body. These bulbs are commonly used in decorative lighting, signage, or specialty fixtures due to their aesthetic appeal and specific light dispersion characteristics. In addition to its decorative benefits, the long-necked design also allows for PS-shaped bulbs to fit into outdoor fixtures where such a neck needs to be properly attached.

Key Features:

  1. Shape: The bulb tapers from a rounded top to a straighter, cylindrical base.
  2. Applications: Often used in vintage or decorative lighting setups, marquee lights, or display cases.
  3. Base Types: Available in various base sizes, such as E26 or E27 (medium), and sometimes E12 (candelabra) or  (E39) mogul bases.
  4. Sizes: The "PS" designation is often followed by a number indicating the bulb's diameter in eighths of an inch (e.g., PS25 is 25/8 or 3.125 inches in diameter).
  5. PS25 incandescent bulbs are often used in vintage fixtures because of their warm glow.
  6. PS30 LED bulbs can provide energy-efficient lighting for larger fixtures.
