Glass Globes

Glass Globes for Outdoor Wall Lights

Protect the bulbs in porch lights and other outdoor light fixtures with glass globes. Suitable for use in outdoor spaces, glass globes won't yellow in the sun and can last for many years. They can also withstand the elements and can be easily replaced when needed. Use these globes on a wide range of outdoor lights, including wall sconces, patio lights, post lights, and other light fixtures.

Types and Styles of Glass Globes

Glass globes come in a variety of shapes and styles. Two of the most common shapes are round and cylindrical. Styles can include clear, frosted, decorative, and industrial. Clear glass globes are perfect for showcasing lamps such as decorative vintage bulbs. They also ensure that the full brightness of the bulb will be visible, ensuring the surrounding space is properly illuminated. Frosted globes diffuse the light output, delivering a softer glow.
