exposed lighting
Bare hanging bulbs
Exposed lighting is a design style where light fixtures, bulbs, and wiring are left visible rather than concealed behind covers, shades, or recessed housings.
The look is associated with industrial and loft aesthetics: Edison bulbs on exposed lighting gave the restaurant a warehouse feel.
The approach treats functional elements as decorative features.
