Whilst energy saving bulbs make perfect sense on paper, their functional appearance and the dim light they emit can be rather disappointing. This Vintage Diamond Light Bulb however, will do justice to any retro-styled room.

It's a 15 watt halogen screw-fit bulb in diamond cut clear glass which gives it a lovely vintage lustre and bright, warm glow.The bulb isn't cheap at £29, but that will last you 2000 hours. It also comes in a rather lovely retro-style box – a world away from functional supermarket bulbs.
