Remember these damn things? - Lemmy.World

Never had one. Didn’t know anyone who had one. Is this an American thing?
Definetly an American thing. First time seeing this lamp.
Apparently not a popular opinion with someone.
Had one in Germany, they were quite common here. Worked well as a bug zapper, there was the occasional smell of crispy moths…
Were they expensive? I grew up hunting feral pigeons for food and we were by no means the poorest family in the area.
I seen a lot of them in France I still have one in case of a lightbulb dying
