tokyo design week 08: flat bulb by joonhuyn kim
i like it! it's fun to look at... like something you'd find at IKEA... possibly not useful, but i buy it anyway! but as much as i enjoy the product itself, i like the comments on it even better!by deadskin
Very cool. Until someone sticks a metal object in the gap between the socket and the bulb end. That may need a bit of a design tweak before putting on the market.
i would comment on this but someones else beat me to it!

Who in their right mind would say, 'Oh, there's a gap, I should fill it with something metal'??? It's no different then leaving a light bulb socket or power socket open with nothing in it. Really, I mean, really?
then know-it-all (and grammar school drop-out) kk tries to ruin all the fun by raining on the flat bulb parade:
theres a reason bulbs are not flat...
the circular design help to cool the thread via thermal convection inside the bulb. this does no do that and probably has a life time of less then 400hours.
JW has his own thoughts on light bulb shapes:
On the contrary, conventional bulbs are the shape they are to resist internal vacuum.
sounds logical... BUT WAIT!!
by minocc
light bulbs have no vacuum. they are filled with an inert gas. don't believe me? get a torch, and heat up a spot on a light bulb until it is soft. if there were a vacuum, it would flow inwards. however, it does not. so, inert gas.
methinks this guy has been hanging out a little too much with the guy who wants to shove metal bits in electrical appliances... get a torch and heat up the light bulb??? ... ??? WHAT?!?
