The screwable fluorescent bulb is currently available in only three standard shapes, the Radiator, the Ice Cream Whip and the Tungsten-esc types, mostly due to lack of imagination. The designers at Plumen have bent some glass and brought some welcome imagination and fluidity to the gas bulb.

Better known for their cool retro-styled phones , Hulger has embarked on a new project called Plumen. Drawing from the idea of a bird's plumes that serve no real purpose other than simple adornment, Plumen plays with the same themes in giving standard low-energy bulbs a facelift. (inventorspot)
