Japan’s Nissho Telecom Corporation says their 11-Watt cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL—the same technology used in TVs and neon lights) is even more efficient than an LED and lasts over 30,000 hours. Joints at the top and bottom of the Tubelumi’s vertical neckpiece allow the lamp to fold into various poses. (The design won the 2009 Good Design Award and is available in Japan.)
