    A Tesla Coil Light, commercially called a Plasma Light. Just the coolest of the cool own them. lol. I bought this at Spencers in the mall for my father about 20 years ago. He kept it for 10 and said he used it often and loved it. He gave it back to me about 10 years ago. I use it occasionally. The 4th photo is in front of mirrors. The 1st photo is photo shopped and makes a great wallpaper for the desktop.

      Thanks for the Love to MeliG, Aghcollect, Fortapache, Kerry10456, Welzebub, SEAN68, CaperKid, Racer4Four and VintageFran. I do appreciate it.

      Thanks for the comments to MeliG and VintageFran. I am a fan of Tesla and usually see these type lights in the round shape. Thanks!.
    5. MeliG MeliG, 9 years ago
      This was my first time seeing that shape as well. My father in law of 74 yrs has a round one he keeps on his dresser, loves it!

      You lucky duck!!! What a great thing to own!
    7. Deano Deano, 9 years ago
      Thanks MeliG & Efesgirl. The fascinating thing about these is when you touch the glass, the current attracts to that point and follows the touch as you move around the glass. You can touch it at multiple points and create a matrix of energy inside the horn. Thanks girls.

      This is inspiring and from a great mind. We all can share in something glimmering from the mind of a genuine genius! Bravo!
    13. Deano Deano, 9 years ago
      Thanks to PostCardCollector for the comment. I agree, but it's funny, some people don't know who Tesla was. They only know Edison. Edison didn't have a rock band named after him! LOL.
