Edison-esque







Nixie tubes, exposed hand-blown bulbs...
how is the compact fluorescent the easy switch exactly?

With the resurgence of Edison-esque aesthetics in lighting and electronics design the swap seems wholly unachievable. The efforts to improve the fluorescent alternative have not come far, at this point in time it can only be likened to substituting crème brûlée for a helping of non-dairy creamer.

I'm all for social responsibility and sustainability, but when will the greener bulb compare to the elegance of an incandescent?
