Steffi Min’s Peg is as ingenious as it is simple. It’s a ceiling lamp which looks like a clothespin, only instead of screwing in the bulb you just prize open the jaws and slide the bulb in.
The jaws contact the base and thread of the bulb and allow the current to flow. It couldn’t be any simpler, and it also means an end to that dangerous practice of trying to unscrew the jagged remains of a broken bulb from a stubborn fixing.
Steffi’s design is not yet commercially available, which is a shame as I would love to try one. Not for plain lighting, though. I want to see what happens to a red-hot bulb when it is dropped, almost still glowing, to the floor.
