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.

I appreciate the idea, but these are dumb-looking. The normal coils are actually pretty cool, in my opinion.

These are really interesting. Most of them are pretty flowery, but adding a design element to a common fixture is a great idea.
