Clear bulbs are probably better for garages, kitchens, and workspaces while frosted bulbs are better for living areas like bedrooms, living rooms, family rooms, and places where you want softer shadows. Diffused light is ideal for bedrooms. Also I don’t like incandescent bulbs because they get hot and are inefficient and don’t really last long.
Clear ones are for lampshades that contain many facets of glass. You can have that in a living for decoration. Smaller halogen bulbs work even better because they are closer to a point source. I get cool patterns on the ceiling. Frosted bulbs seemed to be more common even when not needed. It seems that a standard glass globe eats about half of the light. I don't think you would want clear in a kitchen or a workspace specifically. Usually some kind of globe is used to avoid shadows being distractingly sharp.
I like frosted bulbs, but in my country theys banned, and all GLS incandescents. In markets was only clear special and rough service. Sometimes special bulbs are frosted, but not often. I have old bulbs from 80s and 90s. Clear, frosted, opalized, reflector, and with silver crown.
Does the colour have an impact on your health, am I moving into a new home and wonder which incandescent would be the most suitable colour for the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and spare room
The frosted will have a hotter bulb at the same wattage, it will output less radiant heat but will heat the air directly. In an enclosure they will each heat it the same if there are no windows, the clear bulb will lose more heat through the glass.
I love either of these bulbs. LED's SUCK. I read that LED's are bad for people eye's and it makes sense, they flicker at a certain pace (or frequency) thats why they save energy but they hurt eyes. They hurt my eyes. Meanwhile incandescent lightbulbs have ZERO flicker, so it uses more energy but it doesn't hurt our eyes.
2:06 Where did you get that fixture? It's like a Flashlight minus the batteries. If you polished that reflector, the light would throw even further. 2:49 A Frosted bulb does in fact have less throw since you said at the start that they are both 40W Incandescents, so that means they have the same amount of light output from the Filament with the Frosted one losing 50 lumens which is not too bad in household use. As for higher power Bulbs like a typical 60W Incandescent, I presume the Frosting coating is thicker so there may be even more lumen loss.
That fixture's a utility light from Home Depot, it came with a protective cage cover for the bulb but I took the cage off to make the light bulbs easier to see. If you use it with a PAR20 bulb, it actually works basically like a plug-in flashlight. The thickness of the coating probably depends on brand since I don't think there's any standardized amount of coating for light bulbs.
Incandescent bulbs are easier to make in factories imagine guys if someone is living in Africa he can make incandescent bulbs and sell while making led bulbs is very complex

Feit also makes the appliance bulbs in frosted.

Hi, what is the difference between opal and clear, frosted incandescent bulbs?
@KrystynaSvon frosted and opal bulbs give a gentler and softer light than clear ones
@@wieprz00009 thank you, and between opal and frosted ones there is no difference?
@@KrystynaSvon there is a difference. opal are made of dyed white milk glass, frosted are chemically etched with fluorid acid, or silica.
@@wieprz00009 thank you, I wonder is there any difference in terms of light, color temperature between opal and frosted?

Also want to know that. I still have no idea which one to choose: clear or frosted incandescent bulbs.
Which one is hotter using for a pump house.
The frosted will have a hotter bulb at the same wattage, it will output less radiant heat but will heat the air directly. In an enclosure they will each heat it the same if there are no windows, the clear bulb will lose more heat through the glass.
Even though my 72w Halogen is frosted, it does annoy my eyes over time. I want a diffuser cover which further reduces glare.
I prefer the frosted bulb by the way I’ve always preferred frosted incandescent bulbs than clear ones. I do prefer any LED over an incandescent bulb.
I love either of these bulbs.
LED's SUCK.

Not just your eyes but your overall health. LED’s suppress your melatonin production and can wreak havoc on your sleep.
Thank you so much for saving my school project good sir

IMO i like frosted
I like the clear ones but I.R.Y.O.
prefect explanation. excellent.
That Sylvania bulb has a thin coating. That is THIN.
Not to mention frosted bulbs are more drop-resistant than clear bulbs.

thank you, very helpful. 😊
The bulb didn't turn on for me on this one....sorry....I'm clueless still ...sorry
Thank you for the video
I have incandescent frosted bulb
Soft White bulbs are very boring.
