A jewel’s cut, with its sharp edges and smooth facets, are a big part of what makes them remarkable to look at. Those same qualities are what makes the Nanoleaf Gem, arguably, the best-looking light bulb you can screw onto any existing socket.
Like other LED bulbs, you can install the uniquely-shaped lighting unit on a socket in a ceiling, a lamp, or any other fixture to illuminate the immediate space. Unlike them, it easily doubles as a decorative item, with its gemstone-like appearance guaranteed to attract attention anywhere it’s stationed.
The Nanoleaf Gem’s faceted glass isn’t just all about looks, it’s also shatter-resistant – a good thing, considering that guests are likely to want to touch and play with it when they do see it hanging off your living room ceiling. It comes in two variants: a 5-watt version that outputs 470 lumens just like a 40-watt bulb and an 8-watt version that delivers 800 lumens just like a 60-watt lighting element. Both switches on and lights up like traditional LEDs, with a 2,700K color temperature that’s very pleasant for reading. The bulbs have a lifespan of over 23 years, so any kids you have now should be grown by the time any of them needs replacing.
Available now, the Nanoleaf Gem is priced at $24.99.
