One of the nicest lamps in a while.
Added 2019-10-18 14:10:43 +0000 UTCThus is a neat lamp. Not just in its appearance, but also the circuitry.
I'm not sure if it's available in a 120V version. Theoretically they could use the same high voltage filament (265V) with a voltage multiplier to drive it from 120V. Or they could just use a different version of the filament with a different series/parallel arrangement of the LEDs to operate at a lower voltage.

The circuitry is super simple, and the design is optimised for ruggedness.

I was thinking pulling a vacuum on one side. However the wire would be simpler.

2019-10-20 20:02:48 +0000 UTCI also would like you to see taking things apart.
2019-10-20 19:14:10 +0000 UTCPlease don't pause when you're trying to get into stuff with the risk of breaking it. It adds much to the channel (at least to me it does).

2019-10-19 15:09:47 +0000 UTCI love lamps. I don't care I just do. The wife and I made a run to the grocery store yesterday and I bought four regular Tungsten filament light bulbs for use in my workspace. Didn't care was still delighted to unbox them. The LED stuff is really fun because you get to play with power supplies too! I swear I'm going to create a "Vice of Knowledge" T-shirt. I love the satisfying CRACK of our brains getting fuller. Yes, this lamp seemed to be one pleasant surprise after another! I'm glad the glass didn't break as well. I'm certain you can mod that into something to great effect. The power supply is beautiful!

2019-10-18 22:51:19 +0000 UTCGood video. Vision is fine but audio a bit boomy. Just a comment.
2019-10-18 20:48:01 +0000 UTCYou did well to crack open the plastic case without damaging the glass! Great vid as per usual 😃
2019-10-18 19:13:57 +0000 UTCTo fish the filament they might bend the tube with a thin wire inside and then use that to pull the filament through.
2019-10-18 16:13:48 +0000 UTCThanks Boss.
2019-10-18 15:11:15 +0000 UTCIt doesn't get too hot, so plastic should work.
