The first domestic lamp to incorporate Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lighting technology, hitherto used to backlight flat-screen TVs, the Ribbon is a technological marvel wrapped up in an unassuming plastic package. boasts bulbs that can last for 15,000 hours—twice as long as CFLs and 15 times puny incandescents. The Ribbon’s light can be dimmed without flickering (a hazard of LEDs) and its color adjusted to any custom mixture of warm and cool. The lamp’s bendable, elbow-like arm also means its can do triple duty as a task, ambient, and night light. And all for about half the price of a comparable LED model.
