Plumen Light Bulbs
Who said bulbs had to be boring? Inspired by a bird's decorative feather, or plume, Plumen Light Bulbs (£20; roughly $31) turn convention on its head by making the bulb something you'll actually want to look at, instead of something to hide behind a shade. The bulbs work like any other low-energy bulb, saving up to 80% on your energy bill while lasting eight times longer than a butt-ugly incandescent. Brilliant.

Never get bored with your accent lighting with the 16 Million Color Lamp ($200).

It also includes a nifty color wheel remote control to let you pick just the right shade to suit your mood, which is probably a purplish haze if you're thinking of spending 200 bones on this guy.
