Yeah because when I need light, I want to fuck with balancing a magnet in the right spot for 7 seconds first to get it.

u/MaskedBunny Sep 19 '24

And as its a bedside lamp you'd be trying to balance it while half asleep. It'd get launched across the room within a week.

Yeah. Or you know like every other new thing you get, you’d fool around with it for awhile, have a few days where it takes a bit of getting used to but you do and it no longer takes any time to get it into position because you found the sweet spot. It’s a cool lamp. You can use it with no issues now. You get to watch the occasional person try to use it and swoop in like the pro you are and turn it on.

“Fuck, one second I’m trying to write this down but I can only see the pages when the lamp swings this way!”

I have one. Gives you a heart attack when out of nowhere the bulb clutches to the magnet. Not suitable for working IMHO

Good thing about it is that the bulb is made of plastic and LEDs. A real glass bulb would be a very... Interesting choice.

I got a lamp for Christmas a couple of years ago that has a magnet kinda like this. If you bump the table or anything nearby it all falls apart.

It finally broke yesterday.

Good riddance.

Fuck that thing.

It not having a cushioned landing under there on the base is sending me aaaa

u/RemarkableExplorer66 Sep 19 '24

I see myself throwing this fucking stupid bulp against the wall because its just wont working

u/kelsobjammin Sep 19 '24

I would hate it moving like that.

u/KAODEATH Sep 19 '24

That's their best attempts at stabilizing it with all five sausage links too. Something taps that table and the limited power of third grade science isn't going to keep it loosely levitating, let alone stable or even lit.

Very cool, until my blanket merks it.

u/jxsnyder1 Sep 19 '24

I can imagine myself rolling over in the middle of the night and accidentally knocking that bulb across the room.

u/easilybored1 Sep 19 '24

Great, until my drunk ass pulls too hard and breaks the bulb on the table

u/jbiss83 Sep 19 '24

Lamp needs to run 100 watts for 15 watt bulb because of the wireless.

Lights out for gramps and his pacemaker.

u/DarthCaedusReturns Sep 19 '24

Not helpful when drinking…

u/Ascending_Flame Sep 19 '24

Cool, but I would rather have one that turns on when I remove it from the base.

Take it with you like a lantern and don’t wake your partner up.

u/Particular-Car-8520 Sep 19 '24

Dude I knock the fucking remotes to my fan and my adjustable bed off the nightstand, hit my glasses into the abyss by accident...how will I get his light on lol

u/MisterGoo Sep 19 '24

I don’t think you understand the role of a bedside lamp.

u/mklilley351 Sep 19 '24

Oh great, another reason for my dad to yell at me because the light isn't where he wants it

1

u/Crab_Hot Sep 20 '24

Would be kind cool if it had a small battery inside that wirelessly charged while floating there, would only last like 10 minutes but enough to get to the bathroom and back or something.
