Plumen 001 is the first design energy saving light bulb of the world! Created by the designer Samuel Wilkinson, the illuminant is more than just a light source that has to be hidden behind a lampshade: with its dynamic design, Plumen 001 is an independent decoration element and additionally an efficient energy saver.

The Plumen bulb uses 80% less energy and lasts 8 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Plumen offers the energy saving light bulb 001 with an E27 or B22 bajonet socket.

Equally to the most energy saving bulbs, also the Plumen 001 receives a low quantity of quicksilver. If the lamp is unharmed and active, no quicksilver will be released. Should the illuminant break or stop working after a few years, it has to be removed according to the norms and it cannot end up in the common house-waste bin.

Should your illuminant break, please proceed like this: open the window and air the room. Sweep the pieces of the Plumen 001 afterwards. Use a brush for it, not the vacuum cleaner. The last traces can then be removed with a humid cloth. The broken pieces should be collected in a plastic bag that must be closed safely and then brought to the next collector of electric waste.
