Bulb LMP
The LED technology has become the reference among bulbs thanks to its durability, reliability and low heat diffusion. Furthermore, LED bulbs do not need specific glasses unlike the other bulbs. I therefore redrew the lines of the protective glass in different shapes of lampshades so it becomes a lamp by itself.

This project allowed me to reconsider and redefine an object of current consumption. Because now we speak about the longevity of bulbs, which is up to 50 years. This bulb is not only a source of light anymore but it creates a source of atmosphere.
The lamp is made of glass, because it brings greater harmony to the lampshade. The bulb base is electronic. And it isn't using much more glass than the other bulbs.
It's done in a different way than the normal bulbs, the bulbs LMP are stamped. Like that we can have the lens directly incorporated into the glass.
LEDs have proven to be much more economic in power and has a much bigger longevity. That's why giving them a specific function, these bulbs give awareness of the importance of such lighting.
In addition the choice of glass is to reduce the number of plastic components and is easier to recycle.
Jury Commentary
a thoughtful way to fulfill multiple needs simultaneously
adds value to a very mechanical solution
Somehow LED lighting has failed to deliver a shade with an identity and yet the long life of the lighting source makes this a worthy element to build a valued housing for. This proposition adds ‘value’ to a very mechanical solution.
