Lighting our lives Pt 1

I'm sure I've used that title before and ages ago I posted photos of our lamps, but many have changed, so along with a request to see them and some doubt that there are nine, here we go.

I cropped this one to remove the 'huge bodied Jack' from the photo. The glass one has a 40w halogen clear bulb for the sparkle effect and the standard two 40w frosted halogen bulbs.

 Closer.

The tortoise lamp has a 15w incandescent oven light.

The salt lamp, a gift to us, also has a 15w incandescent oven light.

These just brighten what was a dark corner. LED, so minimal electricity. All of the above and the one below are controlled via a powerboard with a remote control.

This one has two unusual 25w frosted halogen bulbs. They have a wide base and are expensive to buy. We replaced the original 40w bulbs with 25w but it was still too bright. We wrapped silver foil around cut cardboard paper towel rolls and stood them behind the free swinging drop chains around the bulbs, and it is perfect.

The desk lamp, boring but functional, with a 40w frosted incandescent downlight bulb. Rarely used.

Standard lamp with a long halogen bulb of a huge wattage but the lamp is seldom turned up more than half way. The lower lamp is a clear 40w halogen bulb of the same type as the chain lamp above. The lower lamp is rarely used.

This a a LED light gives an uplight behind the tv onto the wall and the picture that sits above the tv. Is that nine yet? You may as well see the rest of our lights. They will come in Pt2.
