From Korea comes a special light bulb, with a design that says a great deal about its characteristics. We can tell by simply observing it that this is no ordinary light bulb. Eco-bulb, created by young Korean designer Seokjae Rhee, saves on energy very differently than the high-efficiency bulbs we are used to.
Seokjae has decided to focus on visual comfort, designing a bulb whose light intensity can be regulated using the gauges located at the base of the light bulb.
The bulb, made up of six sections, can be partially switched on, illuminating only the part of the room where light is actually required.
We can, therefore, choose the amount of light and where we would like it according to our individual needs and preferences. Basically, there are six distinct sections in each bulb, which can be customized according to the circumstances. For a relaxed atmosphere, we can turn on one section; if we need to study, we can shine the light on our books; or, we can turn it on completely to brighten the whole room.
If you are worried about having to get a chair or step-ladder every time you need to regulate your light bulb, worry no more. This young eco-designer has also developed a remote control with buttons for each of the bulb’s six sections.
Eco-Bulb is an example of how design and energy conservation can successfully coexist.
