I saw one of the bulbs burn out once, four inch flames straight out of the top.
My sister and I once caught a paper airplane on fire from one of these, got scortchmarks on the couch under it
If you look up The Sharper Image in an encyclopedia, it has a picture of this lamp and a vibrating pillow.
Well i walked over to the other room to check but mine doesn’t have that bulb/disk on the pole
I still have one
I'm pretty sure the lamp my parents had in the late 90s/early 2000s was the one they moved into the house with in the late 70s, there was none of this fanciness in our house
I do not. I lived in a house that had ceiling lights and chandeliers in every room, so we didn't have any lamps other than a couple desk lamps.
I remember it being a PITFA to change the bulbs, though. Two of the chandeliers were in awful places. 1 was at the top of the central ceiling which was essentially 3 stories from the floor and the other was directly over the stairs, where you couldn't really position a ladder safely.
