Should I use clear or frosted bulbs?
For the purposes of clarity and normalcy, I will refer to them as light bulbs. If you have a chandelier, pendant fixture or wall sconce that uses shades, then I would recommend a frosted light bulb. If you use a clear bulb then you’ll cast filament striations onto the fabric, which will make it look dirty or stained.
Can you use A21 instead of A19?
Are A19 lamps compatible in A21 lampholders? Yes, because A19 lamps are smaller in all dimensions than A21 lamps, they will fit in virtually all fixtures and lampholders designed for A21 lamps. Since they utilize the same E26 base, the A19 lamps will fit into the socket just fine.
