seeking to exude a subtle sci-fi type aura, south korean hobby:design has produced the ‘luminous bulb’. constructed from silicone with an added luminous pigment, the regular looking lights are formed using a solid, typical bulb-shaped mould. requiring absolutely no electricity to glow, the adaptable fixtures can be used in a wide range of environments. the power-free light source won’t heat up like a regular piece and can therefore be used for a variety of applications.

I showed my phosphorescent lightbulbs this year in milano at tom dixons “most”.
a guy from designboom even made pictures of it.
the silicon mold was also showed.
really hope you didnt see it there…
“brilliant”
Totally amazing look. What exact silicone to use to be able to pour it in the mould and getting a bulb shape without any air holes?
