Description from the seller
Vintage UFO Fiber Optic Color-Changing Lamp – 1980s/1990s (Space Age)
Description
Fascinating and iconic Space Age table/mood lamp, dating back to the late 1980s or early 1990s. The base is made of rigid plastic with a metallic silver finish, perfectly shaped like a flying saucer (UFO).
As shown in files IMG_5276.jpg and IMG_5277.jpg, the fiber optic spray is fully removable to ensure safe and easy shipping. When turned on (as detailed in files IMG_5258.jpg and IMG_5265.jpeg), an internal motor rotates a color wheel, projecting a beautiful changing light (red, green, orange) both through the tips of the fibers and through the small portholes on the top and sides of the UFO base. This creates a magical, hypnotic atmosphere—a must-have for retro-futuristic design lovers and vintage pop culture collectors.
Condition & Details
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The internal color-changing mechanism and lighting are fully functional. Minor, negligible signs of age on the silver surface, perfectly consistent with its vintage nature.
Operation: Powered via its original cable with a standard European plug (tested and working).
Visual features: The fibers fan out beautifully to create a stunning spray of light, while the UFO base casts vibrant colored patterns onto the surface below.
