Think about that for a second. The smartphone in your pocket has been redesigned thousands of times since it launched. Your running shoes have gone through countless iterations. But the humble light bulb? More or less, the same. Which is exactly why iiode\u2019s Re27 feels so refreshing, and so overdue.<\/p>\n<p>iiode is a Swiss studio that specializes in sustainable electronics, and the Re27 is their first product. It\u2019s a retrofit E27 LED bulb, meaning it fits into the same socket your current bulb uses right now. But the similarities to your average LED stop there pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/new.iiode.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iiode<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-619594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/15\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 100-Year-Old Light Bulb Design Just Got Its First Real Fix\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-619594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/15\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 100-Year-Old Light Bulb Design Just Got Its First Real Fix\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"1c1edb27bfc6d796ac3d4217-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"1c1edb27bfc6d796ac3d4217-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Re27 is built around an idea that the lighting industry has, for the most part, chosen to ignore: that a light bulb should be something you repair, not just replace.

The porosity of the casting creates a natural texture that helps dissipate heat while also giving the bulb a physical presence that\u2019s hard to describe without actually seeing it. Domus called it a texture that \u201coverturns expectations regarding the materiality and aesthetic presence of this everyday object,\u201d and I think that\u2019s a fair read. It\u2019s a bulb you actually want to look at, which sounds like a strange thing to say about something that usually lives inside a shade.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-619596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/15\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 100-Year-Old Light Bulb Design Just Got Its First Real Fix\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-619596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/15\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 100-Year-Old Light Bulb Design Just Got Its First Real Fix\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"1c1edb27bfc6d796ac3d4217-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"1c1edb27bfc6d796ac3d4217-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Almost all of the materials are recycled, and the whole thing is assembled in Switzerland using mostly EU-made parts.

The Re27 delivers a high CRI output, which means colours under its light look the way they\u2019re supposed to, the way they\u2019d look in natural daylight. It\u2019s flicker-free, which is one of those things you don\u2019t notice until you\u2019ve been sitting under bad lighting for three hours and your eyes are tired for no apparent reason. The colour temperature and intensity are tunable, and the smart control is integrated directly into the bulb, so you don\u2019t need a separate hub or app ecosystem to make it work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-619598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/15\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 100-Year-Old Light Bulb Design Just Got Its First Real Fix\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-619598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/15\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 100-Year-Old Light Bulb Design Just Got Its First Real Fix\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/the-100-year-old-light-bulb-design-just-got-its-first-real-fix\/re27-05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the launch, iiode invited eight design studios to create lampshades specifically for the Re27. It\u2019s the kind of move that tells you a lot about how a brand sees its own product. They\u2019re not treating it as a commodity. They\u2019re treating it as an object worth designing around, worth collaborating over, worth dressing up.
