You’re right to be fair, a lot of them do retain that shape for purely aesthetic reasons, but it’s not a functional part of the light source any longer.

It’s functional in so far that it does protect the LED elements and makes the device better to handle.

And sometimes acts as a diffuser for the light too, yeah. Just isn’t required for illumination purposes directly.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We’re all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don’t like a thing doesn’t mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
