Lamp Lamp from 100 Per Cent

This would have been a wonderful thing had it been filled with LEDs and existed as a play on the old fashioned incandescent lightbulb. Unfortunately it is exactly that, a light bulb with an extra base blown on to make it look very cool. They do say it will last longer than an ordinary bulb, but that is probably because, like farm bulbs and bulbs for inaccessible spaces, they just make them less efficient so that they run cooler. A great opportunity missed. ::100 percent via ::seihin-world

this bulb is less eco-friendly than a normal bulb, because it uses more materials to accomplish the same task. why the hell is it on treehugger?

LA: because it is an interesting design and could have been a terrific statement if they had tried harder.

Uncle Fester is salivating...

One could buy a Mule LED bulb and adhere to it the base from the incandescent bulb it replaces.
