Awesome Light Bulbs

Feit Electric’s unique smart light bulb can produce the warm amber glow of an old-fashioned Edison-style filament lamp, or one of millions of colors from its RGB LED strips. Works in any standard E26 base, and can be controlled remotely via Alexa, Google Assistant, or the Feit Electric app. Amazon sells a discounted 4-pack.

Add an artful splash of color to any space with this unique flame-inspired light bulb. Each bulb is handcrafted from a swirl of orange and yellow pigments submerged in resin. The 100-lumen LED light source provides a warm, ambient glow and is cool to the touch. It’s also available with a wooden or vintage metal and wood base.

How many quadrotors does it take to change a light bulb? Apparently, just one. This lone drone’s mission to insert and tighten a light bulb is made so much more dramatic by the addition of dialogue from Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.

This truly unique LED bulb will definitely be a conversation piece in your room, and you won’t want to hide it behind a shade. It uses LEDs and a colorful prismatic mirror effect to make it look like there’s a burst of fireworks inside of its glass. It’s not bright, but works great as an accent or nightlight.

We love how they’ve figured out how to make LED light bulbs that look like vintage filament bulbs. But this one has another trick: it doesn’t need to be screwed into a socket at all. Suck UK designed this glass and metal bulb to run wirelessly. Its rechargeable battery provides about four hours of light per charge.

London’s William & Watson Ltd makes light bulbs the old-fashioned way, hand-placing and wrapping hair-thin filaments into molten glass, and using vintage machinery to assemble and test each bulb. The company makes both vintage style and modern LED filament bulbs.
