Call this my tribute post to Thomas Edison and his light bulb. From distorted bulbs to duo-socket ones, it suddenly seems that designers and creators everywhere can have so much fun fiddling around with the greatest invention ever. Frankly, I doubt Edison himself expected these. And I'm not sure if he'll be really happy about this.
But one thing's for sure: I'm looking forward to what other reincarnations our little light bulb will undergo in the near future. What say you?

The dripping and distorted ones look kinda cute. lol
Lovely compilation.
I thought the exploded one looks really cool! Light bulb within a bulb.
Amazing! My favorite has to be the "melting" one and the clear kerosene lamps
Ha Ha Ha! I think I'm in love with the melting bulbs and the exploding bulb! Very tongue-in-cheek!
I like the modern light with all the bulbs fused together. unique and cool

Actually, Edison did not invent the light bulb. He bought the patent in 1875 from the light bulb inventors, Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans of Toronto. That said, Edison was a very good marketer of the product. I enjoyed the lovely, artistic interpretations of the light bulb here.
