Replace all existing lamps with these.

A friend of mine made two lamp shades. Each started with a cylinder of acrylic plastic. He glued $2.00 bills to that, alternating front and back and staggering each successive row by 50% of the length. Then another cylinder over that and seal the lot. When the lamp was off you saw the bills. When it was on the bills were backlit and showed a very weird pattern. Stoners used to start at them for hours.

I made bracers like the one on the lamp above. My best seller was a double row of very sharp spikes on a bracelet. Wearing two of those made ladies leaving the Delco-Remy plant at midnight a bit more confident.

Fortunately for me, the wife does the choosing, for the few lamps we have. I just installed some indirect LED lighting to replace the old fluorescent lamps that finally went toes up, in the family room. I'll be installing more on the other side of that room, because I like it brighter than she does. Of course, they are switchable so that the current person can adjust it to their preference.

As far as size goes, pick a shade that has a small enough opening at the top so that you won't see the bulb at your closest approach, and the length to make it deep enough that it isn't annoying if you are sitting next to it while reading.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I may just cheat and show her the tractor-pull shades...

That looks like used radioactive bandages.

That will do nicely.

Well... I've got dinner to finish cooking. If you want to give me the height of the lamp and give me a picture I can try to help you. Otherwise... I like that radioactive paper lamp thingy you posted a picture of. It looks cool. I wonder how long it will take to catch on fire.

Serious question.

Are we talking about electric lamps or uncut penises?
