No light bulb, but still illuminating: the UFO lamp+

When I was a kid, I sometimes saw a far away and isolated street lamp as the real moon. (I guess I wasn’t the only one, right?). Designers from Neues Licht (’new lamp’ in English) agency must have done the same game, but instead of seeing some planets, they saw UFOs. The result: A lamp, simply called the UFO. But the appliance doesn’t rely only on top-notch technologies, it does requires just a piece of energy to provide great light.

The lamp flat base floats in the air, sustained by a bunch of glass fibers focus at the center of the disk like an energy beam. The light radiates from the glass spaghettis, propagates through the transparent disk, illuminating the whole system with a bright but eye-harmful light. And when you know that, with the same energy, glass fibers are providing as much light as LEDs do, you cannot just consider this design lamp as a new decorative object.
