Revolutionary, iconic, unique. The Plumen 001 lightbulb is the first energy-saving designer lightbulb in the world. Compelling and refined, this product earned various important awards such as "Design of the Year" and "Product of the Year" from the London Design Museum, and the much-coveted "Black Pencil" award from D&AD. It was also published in high-profile international headlines and included in the MOMA, Cooper-Hewitt and V&A permanent collections. Compatible with any LED dimmer* switch, this lightbulb allows the user to control lighting based on their preferences.

World's First Energy Saving Designer Bulb

Plumen® is proud to create designer lighting for the home that is both beautiful and energy efficient. To develop our first product, the Plumen 001, we worked together with British designer Samuel Wilkinson. The result was an energy efficient light bulb that, instead of being hidden from view as so many other bulb designs are, is designed to be on show.

A winner of multiple design awards, the Plumen 001 are distinguished by their elegant sculptural form. The organic design makes a feature out of the bulb itself, which can be simply hung from a cord as pendant or showcased within a transparent lamp shade. The Plumen 001 was awarded the Brit Insurance Design of the Year by the Design Museum in London in 2011 and the prestigious Black Pencil at the D&AD awards in the same year. It is included in the permanent collections of MoMA, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Smithosonian Cooper-Hewitt Collection, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Design Museum in Helsinki.

*Dimming an energy-saving bulb is very different to dimming an incandescent bulb. As a result there is no way to guarantee compatibility with specific dimmers and bulbs without testing them. 

Dimmable Plumen bulbs should work with most trailing-edge dimmers & dimmers that state they are compatible with LEDs.

Some dimmers have a minimum load to function correctly, meaning that multiple bulbs connected to one dimmer will have better performance than a single bulb.

If your dimmer switch is more than 10 years old, it is unlikely to be compatible with any energy saving bulb due to changes in the way dimmer switches work.
