We’ve always got our eye open for affordable design and this ‘wide awake’ bulb fits the bill. At £25 it’s within the impulse purchase range and will look nice and artsy in your house – what more could you ask for? (Hidden Art)

File this under ’smart idea we wish we’d have thought of but not really because we wouldn’t have had the first idea of how to make it’ (an admittedly very long folder filename). These lights are adjustable, making sure that the street gets better lighting coverage than the traditional street light. If nothing else, it will bring an end to the traditional ‘walking away from the spotlight’ scene in movies. (Designboom)

Take a leap, see more images.

We’ve covered these before – the world’s first designer low energy light bulb. Designed by Hulger and Samuel Wilkinson, the Plumen light bulbs are both ecological and pretty damn sexy. The Design Museum has them available now.

Street lamps, it’s the only place we can go, Street lamps, it’s the only life we know. We’d love to carry on this remix but the joke’s been stretched far enough already. At £350 it’s far from cheap, but it is a unique vintage piece and all that shebazz. And it’s either this or you go all Thomas Crown and plan a museum heist. (Pedlars)

On other weeks this would be our piece of the week. Unfortunately a light, albeit one in the shape of the squirrel, will always pale in comparison to cars and boats in the shapes of shoes. It’s a shame really. Squirrel lights should be an essential in every one’s household – although the price tag on this shows us why this isn’t the case. (Pedlars)

Curated turns us onto this:

“Monocomplex, a design firm located in Seoul, Korea, has unveiled two new lighting fixtures. The first (seen above) is called “Retro TV Lighting.” The firm says, “According to digital time’s advent, analog things are being protruded to the back seat. Retro TV lighting intends to deliver warmness in memories to users by moving the warm nature of wood materials along with analog emotion to the illumination.” “Retro TV Lighting” was designed by Park Hyunwoo.

After the jump, check out “Spool Lighting” designed by Hwang Eunsang. This piece hinges on associations with the spool and mothering – specifically the connection between the spool and sewing. It is a contemporary nostalgic reinterpretation of the object, proposing a natural warmth.”

Curated turns us onto this nice piece of furniture.

“Created by Designwork in 2007, the Tosca Table Lamp is produced by Italian manufacturer Foscarini. With three base choices, the interchangeable scheme only amplifies the handsome nature of the basic aesthetic. It’s simple, clean, and perfect for any home.”

Fatboy, an outfit known for overstuffed bean bags, doesn’t normally grab our attention. However, with their small Edison the Petit lamp, they produce something which is both effective and simple enough to merit noting. Set for February delivery, and as name might suggest, the Petit is a smaller version of the previously available grand. In shrunken proportion the lamp makes more sense – a quirky, yet unassuming addition to any interior.

In need of a (relatively) inexpensive lamp for Christmas for a design obsessed friend/partner? Here’s one that should be up your alley. Just make sure it’s not hanging too low, it looks sharp enough to cause accidents. (Normann)

Curated puts us onto these Stalb Lamps by Kassen Lifestyle. “Kassen Lifestyle, a brand that “explores furniture through brutalist design,” has introduced a new lighting offering fitting of their mission. The Stalb Lamps sit on a concrete base (a wonderful use of that favorite brutalist material) and feature a curved steel piece to raise the lamp off the floor. The shade is built from a hollowed plywood cube.”
