Description

“Spare” is a lamp built from 26 light bulbs stuck together like a cluster of bubbles. One bulb is connected to the power source and burns; its light passes into the other bulbs, which act as a lampshade, diffusing and spreading it. When that bulb burns out, the lamp-holder is simply screwed onto another bulb.

It is constructed from 25 classic clear light bulbs and 1 clear LED bulb that looks just like a classic bulb; let a classic or LED bulb burn, and after roughly 50 years all the bulbs are used up. Part of the permanent design collection of Design Museum Gent in Belgium. Unlimited edition.

Light source: 25 dimmable clear glass 230V bulbs plus 1 dimmable glass LED bulb, 4W, 190lm, 2200K. 230V, E27 lamp-holder, 2 m cable, European plug. Only suitable for Europe and other countries on 220/230V networks using European plugs.
