lamp shopping makes me feel old af

[sfn@mastodon.world]

@sean_ae lol i ran into the same thing when i got a Tizio Artemide

i managed to find the original version on light11.eu, they also got some great deals quite often

[qebo@c.im]

@sean_ae you know, there are other ways

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@sfn tizios are well lush

i did consider tolomeos but i heard they're a bit flimsy these days so i thought why not go for the uber classic plus it's norwegian ykwim

[sfn@mastodon.world]

@sean_ae yeah but tbh they are so iconic i just had to get one its the one i use on my desk that only has the genelecs, laptop and killamix pretty much. its like its part of the setup

that chair i showed u a good good while ago is also norwegian design and made in norway, HÅG Capisco, whats up with norway making so many well balanced things btw, great design, functional and timeless really

[sfn@mastodon.world]

@sean_ae btw when i was digging through lamps i also got a small one of this: https://midgard.com/collections/ayno they are mad cool imo, i still havent found a great place for it its just there on a coffee table but its one of my fav design wise. should have gotten the big floor one but its a bit too expensive

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@sfn this is what's so maddening about the Luxos, i mean they didn't really change the design on the E27 one at all they just made the internals a bit safer

but an LED L-1 with a built in bulb is just all kinds of wrong, someone needs to have a word with them

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@sfn i would be walking into that thing all the time but it is very pretty

the big tolomeos are nice looking as well but you see them everywhere now

[sfn@mastodon.world]

@sean_ae yeah the built in leds are kind of very hard to understand lol

i do walk into all the time and it swings back and forth a bit until settles but yeah its just pretty plus there is a built in dimmer which i like

i really liked also this from Artemide: https://www.artemide.com/contents/immagini/subfamily/stellar_nebula_gallery5085354-1920x1080.jpg not a work lamp but its so pretty, not for my wallet tho lol, i think the table version (this) is like 2000 eur

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@sfn yeah that's sweet and also very weird, like 'how about we make an egg emitting a rainbow lol'

i love artimede and i don't think they're too expensive; if you want it to look like that it's not like you can find a budget option

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@HAPPENINGHOTDOG

[sfn@mastodon.world]

@sean_ae yeah thats what partly makes it great imo, not like i would want a budget option of these things, same with the HAG Capisco chair actually, i value originality and design so just pay up

[sfn@mastodon.world]

@sean_ae https://www.nedgis.com/en/products/table-lamp-maxime-n-2-brown-l14cm-h37cm-serax this has been one of my fav lamps i have btw, its been on in the entrance / hall since i got it so so pretty

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@sfn is that gold-reflected light? that's a concept and a half

looks like a nice glow

[defaultmediatransmitter@social.bitwig.community]

@sean_ae But does it have bluetooth?

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae I love that we solved the problem of replaceable bulbs by making the whole lamp the bulb! Can’t wait for proper subscription lights. 5 Euros a month or darkness.

PS - I did actually find a lamp that is literally a bulb. Behold:

[rich@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@sean_ae yeah good luck with getting it to 8years

[sfn@mastodon.world]

@sean_ae yeah it is! the inside is a thin layer of spray painted gold i think (or it looks like). im a bit sensitive to light (loads of eye surgeries) so i love lamps that barely do anything

[glubhorn9@mastodon.social]

@HAPPENINGHOTDOG @sean_ae

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@sfn wow it's bigger than it looked in that other pic, and nice glow, proper golden light

[lime@post.lurk.org]

@sean_ae it's impossible to buy anything
