Saving energy never looked so awesome.

It's a new era for lightbulbs. Incandescents are well on their way to being obsolete. Compact fluorescents are reigning champs, but LEDs are rising through the ranks, looking to challenge CFLs with advancing technology and falling prices. As fast as the tech changes, we're still pretty hooked on the old-school incandescent shape. We still want our bulbs.
The NanoLight Kickstarter project wants to give us LEDs without sacrificing the traditional bulb shape and ability to shine light in all directions. The result is a bulb that looks like it was designed by a Cubist painter. The makers claim it is the most energy-efficient light bulb in the world.
There's plenty of purpose to the unusual design besides just looking cool. The angles let the LED light extend in all directions. It will also fit well into lights built to hold regular bulbs. Some people might not dig the look, but I would personally choose to use it an open fixture to put it on full display.
