As the name inclines, this bulb is spherical. You can see them in various applications like foyer lights, chandeliers, kitchen lights, etc. The most common golf bulb is the E27 which you see in makeup vanities and in the bathroom.
Spotlight
These bulbs produce a concentrated beam of light highlighting a narrow spot or creating a wide flood beam pattern. This shape is perfect for directional lighting and is available in a variety of colours.
