For all the low-energy-use virtues of compact florescent lightbulbs (CFLs), few of them match the streamlined elegance of the classic Edison lightbulb. And yes, this makes a difference — not only to getting people to make the switch (ha!) to CFLs, but because there’s just no reason they need to be ugly.

Enter design company Hulger with its’ “Plumen” line of gorgeous, sculptural CFL designs. Currently they’re prototypes; Hulger is seeking a manufacturer. After the jump: images of the Plumen line.

If you think this a a good idea, write to Hulger and provide them with some ammo to lay on prospective partners.
