Offering remarkable design in eco-friendly packages has always been offset by fundamental problems. Luckily, innovators like Frog Design recognize that some compromises must be made when introducing a revolutionary replacement for a household product.
Their new LED light bulb is a phenomenal fusion of new technology and old design. While the bulb itself will accommodate any current incandescent lamp or socket, the light source is LED (light-emitting diode), removing the polluting factor of compact fluorescent. The best part: this baby will last up to 30 years.

This product may look interesting, but I doubt the light output is very much?

[...] the design of one of civilization’s most epic achievements: the incandescent bulb. Hopefully future incarnations of modern lighting will be as artfully [...]
