Light bulbs for Flos

Compatible Bulbs for Flos: LED and Incandescent Replacements for Design Icons

Finding the right Flos bulb is never a trivial matter. Anyone who owns a piece of design history, designed by masters like Achille Castiglioni , knows well that the light source is not an accessory, but an integral part of the lamp itself. The wrong replacement bulb can ruin the aesthetics of a Parentesi or dull the light of a Frisbi .

On Oniroview we have catalogued the best compatible solutions, tested directly on the original models to guarantee aesthetic results and technical functionality.

Flos Parentesi Bulbs: LED or Halogen?

The bulb for the Flos Parentesi is perhaps the most sought-after and difficult replacement to find. The original model featured a specific R125 bulb with an internal cap, essential for the "bullseye" effect.

The LED solution: If you're looking for an LED bulb for your Flos Parentesi , we offer models with an internal reflector that faithfully replicate the original light beam, but with reduced energy consumption and zero heat emission. Our Flos Parentesi LED bulb is dimmable and maintains the warm color temperature typical of the original.
The Purist Choice: For those who don't want to give up the past, we still have stock or alternatives for the Flos Parentesi halogen bulb and the incandescent versions. We know that for some collectors, LEDs will never have the same allure as burning filaments, and we respect this choice by keeping the traditional versions in our catalog while they are available.

Spare parts for Flos Frisbi, 2097, and Taraxacum

Not just Parentesi. Our selection covers the most specific needs:

Flos Frisbi Light Bulb: For this pendant lamp, the bulb must have the right finish (often chrome or semi-chrome) to reflect the light onto the diffuser plate without dazzling those sitting below.
Flos 2097 (Sarfatti): The famous chandelier requires small, aesthetically clean, and fully dimmable E14 bulbs. Our LED filament versions avoid the annoying flickering typical of cheaper products.

Incandescent and Vintage: For those who love the Original

Although the market is moving toward LEDs, this category also offers a selection of incandescent bulbs for older models. If you have an original Flos Parentesi lamp from the first series, or vintage pieces that struggle with modern electronics, the old incandescent bulb is often the only way to properly operate older pedal or rotary dimmers without having to redo the lamp's wiring.
