Get Screwed with The Tribulb

Continuing today’s apparent theme of excess, we have the Tribulb. It’s an ordinary LED lightbulb. That you plug in three times. How manly. You could call this design ‘versatile’, I guess, if nonsensically so. It looks really awesome in all sorts of cool setups (obligatory video below). Though, while granted these are LED lightbulbs, this probably isn’t the greenest or most sustainable use of a designer’s time. Could have been designing, like, a lightbulb that waters your plants or something. In any case, gone are the days of plugging something once – that isn’t nearly phallic enough. This is a man’s world. We require pointless, overdone things. One of these will go great with my steel mouse pad. [Via Yanko Design]
