Following the new EU regulations that aim to prohibit the sale of non CFL bulbs in Europe, I developed a simple lamp/bulb cover that would improve the quality of light emitted by CFLs. I find their light very cold and unflattering when they’re bare, so I knit these mohair covers using a seamless 3D knitting machine, including a really long tail to also cover the cable.

The result is a warm, inviting glow and appealing soft lamp, that is not at risk of catching on fire thanks to the low temperature of the CFLs.
