Do The Twist
The Plumen: 001 is being hailed as the world’s first “designer” energy-saving light bulb. With the concept and design direction from Hulger and further design work by Samuel Wilkinson, the Plumen is comprised of glass tubes that can be bent in different shapes. The screw-base fluorescent bulb works in U.S. sockets and reportedly lasts for 8 years, consuming only 11 watts and boasting 680 lumens.
