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
Well i walked over to the other room to check but mine doesn’t have that bulb/disk on the pole
Never had one. Didn't know anyone who had one. Is this an American thing?
I seen a lot of them in France I still have one in case of a lightbulb dying
Had one in Germany, they were quite common here. Worked well as a bug zapper, there was the occasional smell of crispy moths...

If you look up The Sharper Image in an encyclopedia, it has a picture of this lamp and a vibrating pillow.

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
