As we discussed when Plumen won the Brit Insurance Design of the Year award, this lightbulb is brilliant. Americans need wait no longer to experience the stylish, 110V bulb which uses 80% less energy, and lasts 8 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
According to Plumen:
After some extra tweaks and certification delays, we’re thrilled to be crossing the pond with the PLUMEN 001 (110V). The 110V bulb works in USA, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Brazil and many other countries around the world (full list here on the country computability tab).
