Filament light bulbs?

Steveotwo

Can some one help me out here 
My wife has bought the light fixing in the link below, it recommends a certain type of filament bulbs to go with it, I thought they where the costly to run bulbs these days and LED bulbs are much more efficent, am I wrong here?  

Complete lightbulb novice can anyone recommend some LED bulbs that will fit these without upping my bill?

led filament bulb

Plenty out there.

As above - easily available - you just need to decide how much light you want.

I ordered these for a new light unit in the kitchen as they were old money equivalents of 75w:

And these for a new light unit on the stairs/landing - using all 6:

Both have so far been very good.

Soho Lighting do some really nice looking LED vintage/traditional bulbs https://www.soholighting.com/led-bulbs 

The first fitting would suit a globe shape like they're showing on the product photos - something like https://www.soholighting.com/soho-lighting-7w-globe-g95-dim-to-warm-e27-clear-led-bulb

The second fitting would be a teardrop shape like https://www.soholighting.com/soho-lighting-7w-edison-st64-dim-to-warm-e27-clear-led-bulb

These have a warmer white colour, at 2700K - the colour tone is the most important part of picking a bulb. 3000K would be a cooler white, and 4000K gives an even cooler white which is better for task lighting. That is a personal decision - this has a good image about different light colours https://lightingdesignstudio.co.uk/colour-temperature/

This is where my confusion comes in are they filament or are they LED equivalents of filaments?

With the light fittings you've linked you don't need filament light bulbs - as in the old type bulbs - the new LED filament bulbs will work just fine. The only time you have to be careful, is if you have a dimmer switch on the wall - that sometimes causes issues. But if your light switches are the regular on/off - then go ahead and get the LED ones, and all will be fine. If you do have a dimmer switch, then you have to actively choose dimmable bulbs.

She ordered some bulbs with them that say filament on them doesn't say LED anywhere so I'm guessing they are incorrect? It does say they are dimmable but I don't have dimmable switches 😅

@cymruchris these are the ones she bought 
dont appear to be LED Rated G to, can you recommend some? I have no clue 😅

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edison-Light-Bulb-Classic-Dimmable/dp/B08DLYVZKR/ref=pd_bxgy_d_sccl_1/258-0341811-9347247?pd_rd_w=nsoGm&content-id=amzn1.sym.a08eede5-3393-433c-bbdb-c853fc4fd321&pf_rd_p=a08eede5-3393-433c-bbdb-c853fc4fd321&pf_rd_r=25YV0Z6GQ0VDQPH6D9WS&pd_rd_wg=BVOsO&pd_rd_r=baffb662-9c9e-4f6b-b4bc-fb179faeb447&pd_rd_i=B08DLYVZKR&psc=1

Dimmable will work perfectly well with a regular on/off switch.

Do you have a link to what was ordered? Or a photo of the box with the details of the bulb?

So those are regular old style light bulbs - not particularly bright at 40w - and will use a bit more energy than the LED's. Some argue they look nicer. They'll definitely work with what you have.

What area are the bulbs going to be lighting? Small or large? Do you want bright light everywhere - or a subdued look?

Living room and stairs, I definitely want LED and something efficient
