A squirrel cage light bulb, often referred to as a squirrel cage filament bulb, is a type of incandescent light bulb that features a coiled filament resembling a squirrel cage. This design allows for greater surface area, which enhances light output and creates a warm glow. These bulbs are typically used for decorative purposes, often in vintage or retro-style fixtures. They can also be energy-efficient alternatives to traditional incandescent bulbs when made with modern technologies like LED.
