In other news, I finally managed to replace the hideous modern IKEA lamp in my lab that was left by the previous tenants with something more period correct (a ceiling lamp that I’ve owned since some time in the early nineties). It’s showing some signs of wear from long term use in previous apartments I lived in (plus some yellowing that I didn’t bother to remove) and I love it. Lamp nostalgia. 😅
(Atari Mega ST photo bomb, too!)
@janbeta These moments when one star is just not enough. #dreifachHach
@janbeta That's one nice lamp
@janbeta
Wouldn't a fluorescent tube complete with mercury be even more period correct?
@bornach That’s true, especially for a lab environment. But I (thankfully) don’t have any of those laying around anymore. 😅
@janbeta if you put a uv bulb in it, would it retrobright itself?
@trc Interesting idea! 😅
