A lamp and a spare part: what you are actually comparing
The Luna Lamp (glass) and the Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup are not two versions of the same product. The Luna Lamp is a complete mouth-blown opal glass globe, while the Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup is a spare part for the Lightbow design from Design House Stockholm. That difference shapes every practical decision: the Luna Lamp is a lighting purchase, and the Lightbow cup is a replacement or backup component for an existing Lightbow piece.
So this comparison is less about picking a winner and more about knowing which purchase your room actually needs. If you are furnishing a corner from scratch, the Luna Lamp is the relevant option. If you already own a Lightbow and want a spare plastic covering, the Extra Plastic Cup is the relevant option.
What the catalog confirms about each piece
- Luna Lamp (glass): Mouth-blown opal glass globe as perfect as the full moon, and of course it's dimmable. No shadows, just a perfect iridescent light! This is the core evidence for the Luna Lamp's soft glow character and dimming capability, which are the qualities most people are shopping for in a glass table lamp.
Luna Lamp (glass) - Lightbow: Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup is a spare part for the Lightbow design from Design House Stockholm. It is offered as a plastic covering for Lightbow, allowing you to replace or keep an extra cup on hand for your existing piece. This confirms the cup's role as a replacement or spare covering, not a standalone light source, so it should not be evaluated as a lamp alternative.

Luna Lamp (glass) vs. Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup at a glance
- Product role: Luna Lamp: a complete mouth-blown opal glass globe light. Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup: a spare plastic covering for the existing Lightbow design.
- Light quality: Luna Lamp: described as dimmable with no shadows and a perfect iridescent light. Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup: the supplied information does not describe light output, so it cannot be compared on glow.
- Scale: Luna Lamp: available in a Small 16 cm size. Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup: dimensions are not supplied in the selected record.
- Best use: Luna Lamp: soft glow accent lighting in a room where you want a dimmable glass table lamp. Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup: replacing or keeping a spare cup for an existing Lightbow piece.
When the Luna Lamp is the right soft glow choice
The Luna Lamp makes sense when you want a warm ambient lamp comparison to end in an actual lamp. Its mouth-blown opal glass globe is designed to produce a shadow-free, iridescent light, and it is dimmable, so it can shift from a brighter evening glow to a lower, softer accent. The Small 16 cm size gives you a concrete starting point for judging scale, though the catalog does not list other dimensions or a maximum wattage.
Because the supplied record does not include bulb type, cord length, or full measurements, treat the 16 cm figure as the only confirmed size reference. That is enough to plan a small-room lighting choice around a shelf, side table, or bedside surface, but you should confirm any additional fit requirements before ordering.
When the Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup is the right purchase
The Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup is the correct buy when your question is maintenance rather than illumination. It is a plastic covering for the Lightbow design, sold as a spare part so you can replace a worn cup or keep an extra on hand. It is not described as a lamp, a bulb, or a complete fixture, and the supplied evidence does not include light output or dimensions.
If you are searching for a lightbow lamp alternative, this cup is not one: it belongs to the Lightbow system rather than replacing it. The honest limitation is that the selected record does not specify which Lightbow versions or sizes the cup fits, so compatibility should be checked against your existing piece before you rely on it as a spare.
How to decide between them
- Start with what you own: If you already have a Lightbow and need a replacement or backup covering, the Extra Plastic Cup is the relevant product. If you have no Lightbow, the cup has no standalone lighting role in the supplied information.
- Match the purchase to the job: For a dimmable, shadow-free glass globe that provides soft glow accent lighting, the Luna Lamp is the product supported by the catalog facts.
- Check scale where evidence exists: The Luna Lamp is listed in a Small 16 cm size; the Lightbow Extra Plastic Cup has no supplied dimensions, so do not assume it will match a particular opening or fixture without checking.
- Accept the evidence limits: Neither record supplies full technical specifications such as bulb type or complete measurements. Where the catalog is silent, confirm details before purchase rather than inferring them.
