If you have bare bulb fixtures at home from the 1920s and regular bulbs don't look right, you should try these painted bulbs! By the 1920s softened light was in demand with brighter bulbs being used, and GE started selling colored painted bulbs under their brand of Mazda Lamps. Mazda was an ancient God of Light, and they continued to use the term through the 1930s even licensing it to Westinghouse. Their painted bulbs were most commonly used on bare bulb fixtures---see the attached photos and original ads for light bulbs. It was also widely common to use round spheres in candle sconces---see the 1928 Markel Electric Products catalog for a common example.
