What is the difference between an Edison bulb and a standard LED filament bulb?

Edison bulbs feature a decorative filament design inspired by Thomas Edison's original incandescent lamp from 1879. Modern versions use LED filament strips that mimic the warm amber glow of carbon filaments while consuming up to 90% less energy. Standard LED bulbs hide their light source behind diffusers, whereas Edison-style bulbs keep the filament visible as a design element.
