A Royal in Paradise picture

Suggested correction: It's still a clear bulb in the rear view, you're just seeing the white curtains behind the clear bulb.

Bishop73

Filaments should still be visible because they are darker and in front of the paler background.

KeyZOid

The filament is still visible.

Bishop73

Didn't look illuminated on my screen.

KeyZOid

It definitely is illuminated. It might be hard to tell with so much lighting already present in the scene, especially coming through the window.

Bishop73

I seriously doubt there's enough background light to make what is supposed to be a clear illuminated LED bulb several feet in front of it to fade away. (This will be my last response).

KeyZOid

Then you're talking about two completely different lamps altogether because the bulb is in front of a giant window with light coming through the thin curtain and it's inches away from the window, not feet. And it's not faded away at all.
