Table Lamp Deals & Offers

This is a rip-off of a Kickstarter item (unless it was created somewhere else before that I don’t know about). The lower string is connected to a simple switch. When the string is in tension, the light is on. If you pull it by hand, the light comes on. The wooden balls have magnets in them to hold the string in tension to keep the light on. Beware, these are fascinating for children and cats!...

The wooden balls and string have been soaked in Chinesium, so are perfectly capable of conducting low voltage current. Simples really ;)

I don't think the string holding the balls would be conductive. It's probably just a wire contact pulled up by the magnetic force. If you were to just hold the top ball out the way and tug the bottom ball up yourself the light would likely still come on.

Probably wooden with a strong magnet in center,the balls probably just complete a 5 volt switch to allow the led light on ,I think the weakspot might be if the conducting wire to the two balls breaks over time,if the charger was included would be worth it

I like this

Yeah i normally give benefit of doubt its just that the actual argos site said not available to collect in any store. glad its in stock for some.

Still available for me, never dismiss an Argos item just because others say "not available in any store" it seems to randomly do that so always worth a check. I went right through to end of checkout then cancelled as I don't want it(but don't tell the wife!)

Glad you got a bargain there @retep :)

Thanks OP , just managed to get two of these for collectio

ah ok, i just clicked on tell me where and it gave that message. good if you can get it

Or a couple of goldfish......glub glub

I reckon you could find a way. I would use little pebbles or those coloured glass beans to compliment your mood or decor

That would've been my question... Unfortunately, not

I was thinking sweets :) Not ones that will melt obvs

Do you think you could open that and put a panoramic photo in?

That’s a good idea, put it in the front window at Xmas. Just seen that the bulb is not included though, that’s a bit disappointing, but at least Argos tell you what bulb is required. .

Really nice for creating ambient lighting anywhere around the home. Also a great Christmas light that is robust enough to last years.. Thanks for your comment @Toptrumpet <3 x

Actually this is good for a kids bedroom, the bulb is sandwiched in the middle and cannot be touched by inquisitive little fingers. Low voltage too, so won’t get hot and the transparent lead will fit in with any decor. Heat Added.

Personally, I love it (y)

Personal preference I know, but it's hideous

Looks like a cocktail shaker with a hat on

Is this the dwarf version...?

Shame its so ugly

Thanks @popoyaya

Thank you.

Nice! Thanks :)

I changed mine for lovely more fancy lamps which look lovely. However I now really miss being able to just throw my hand over half asleep for light and now need to fiddle to find the switch !

I have these lamps changed the lampshade to a silver glitter one and they are perfect

Gorgeous! Ordered
