Box shadow troubles

Hi, has anyone tried making a box shadow into a perfect sphere around an image with rounded corners?

I keep getting derpy results :P

This is the closest I got:

.lightbulb { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-radius: 50%; background: red; box-shadow:10px 15px 50px 15px #F1E767;

}

Looks like you've done a pretty good job, you could play around with the values to get a more even sphere, does that help?

box-shadow: none|h-shadow v-shadow blur spread color |inset|initial|inherit;

set h-shadow and v-shadow to same value, play with blur and spread to get what you like.
