Christopher Moulder’s Shade in All of Its Halogen Glory?

Okay, before I say anything about this fixture that Christopher Moulder has designed, just remember that I love halogen and incandescent sources, and I know their places.  Meet Christopher Moulder’s Shade lamp:

First and foremost, the Shade fixture uses 28 of the 10W halogen Festoon lamps, for a total of about $83 bucks in lamps alone.  I am sure that this lamp also isn’t a “value-priced” piece, either.  It does come in three shade colors, and it only needs the single lead down from the receptacle for power.

It’s a very interesting design, I mean that!  If you’ve ever burned the crap out of yourself on a little halogen minilamp, you can imagine how much heat this thing must output – and since it’s got 28 lamps at 10W each, and if you can add or multiply, you know that the Shade fixture has a 280W power consumption.

Chris, this is a darned cool lamp.  Why not utilize something other than halogen?

FYI, check out Christopher Moulder‘s other works, because they are all extremely lovely designs.

Thanks, DVICE!
