The name sounds intriguing! Any pictures?

It's kinda like this (http://origin-content.bizrate.com/homelighting/oid505489209__nwylf--.html) but without the blue cobalt garnish....
Our halogen torchiere exploded the other day, due to its being far too attractive to moths, so I was looking for a replacement.. and I hope this sale kin help some other folx too!

oh! .. and the bulb zone is translucent, not steel :9

[stokerbramwell.livejournal.com]

Snazzy!

welp, I got it put together, which was really easy... it's basically a filler light if you are looking for some quick and inexpensive solutions. the transluscent area is plastic, the stand and post are metal, and it takes a 150 watt bulb.
it's not the ritz... just a nice lil' solution if you are on a budget.

you can never have too many torch lamps!!!

Re: further info

Good deal.

I don't buy higher than 60w myself.

oooo.. well.. ya seee...

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

The moths have full access to the bulb in the old one, and after enough of them piled in there, it musta made a frothy mothy mini bonfire.... 8>

Re: further info

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

yesh! *fuzzles ye* ... well, we have move most of our bulbs also to the flourescent 60w light 21w power bulbs, but this one fixture was a halogen, and it really lit the one room nicely, so for this particular spot, we spent the extra dime... :9

Re: oooo.. well.. ya seee...

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

How many moths do you get O.O

[artfulreggie.livejournal.com]

Damn, those would've been perfect for our place till the money starts trickling in. :D

Re: oooo.. well.. ya seee...

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

Kinda hard to separate them from the miniature charcoal briquets at this point... let's guestimate a few hundred... ;>

You're welcome! Like ah said, it's not the ritz, but for 5 smackers, it's like they are paying us! ^V^

atsa why I a-posted itta..

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

No Home Depot near ya..? eeeeeep!

[filia-seal.livejournal.com]

I checked two Home Depots near me and they didn't have any $5 lamps, but one had a $9 lamp that I liked. All metal and a nickel finish, so I got it. I think I'm going to put a CF in it since I don't need a 150W heater right now. :)

BTW, I'm on SL now as Filia Sella, but between their crashing servers, slow lag and their worthless help, it's been mostly second rate life for me. I tried friending you, but I don't know if it worked. I can't get off Orientation Island and I haven't found any pmail (Is there one?). But I have met some other nice newbies and I can't complain too much since I will never, never, never ever give SL a credit card. They're too lame!

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

ooooh yeah! I wouldn't be slurprised if that wasn't the same lamp! The sign did say $9, but when I got to the checkout it turns out they were on sale for 5 ! (mighta been a local thing then)..

Sl huh? woooot! Yeah *hehheh* I agree with all those points for the most part.. their service has gotten decidedly more sucky, and the orientation island thing a bit harder to pass. The servers spotty, the client iffy, but the people mostly nice... 'cept the clowns.. *LOL!*
But yeah, overall there's plenty o' neat stuff to be found if ya look fur it!
The pmail is the i.m. service.. it generally saves messages if one is offline.
If you got it working though, you must have a nice system! 8> *pecks n preeens atcha*... I'll keep an eye out!

[filia-seal.livejournal.com]

You mean I actually have to do all that stuff in Orientation? I got bored with it pretty quick. I hope I don't have to start over again.

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

I dunnos... eeep!

They've changed it since I went in, and added all that stuff...
Maybe I'd be able to teleport ya into the mainland.. or, perhaps anyone could :> A Linden certainly could... *warble*

Can't have ya bein' bored.. no way... that not what bein' there ish about! rar!
