Turntable table lamp recommendations.

I would like to be illuminated.   Why does one need a "TT lamp" ... doesn't your room have any ceiling downlights?

Well I for one use one because I enjoy the directed light in the area of my turntable without having to light the rest of the room. Or to put it another way ambience as cafe67 says. 

Further, my house does not have downlights but I would still use a lamp for the above reason if it did.

Thanks to this thread, I tried moving my Artemide Tizio 35 next to the turntable. I like the result and will leave it there.

Picked one of these up from bunnings last week for the princely sum of $7.90 (incorrectly ticketed = WIN!)

Came across some of these and I'd assume they were Chinese knock-offs  at my local markets and I didn't buy one...now I wish I had seeing the 5 Hunge price for the real McCoy!

 

* 75 bucks if your wondering, not sure of the quality

I was surprised as well. In nominal terms, I paid about 40% of the current price … in 1992.

Well yes, a 22 year purchase gap might have something to do with that surprise.

 

Available online in the US for about $190, plus shipping which wouldn't be that outrageous as it's not a heavy item.

Melbourne based - can be custom made. If not for lamps - for all your other light bulb moments.

Interesting light.

This is precisely the one that I use, even down to the Swiss finished spiral bulb.

I have mine on a variac I threw together, so there is no dimmer switch garbage to be picked up through the turntable or phono-pre.

When turned down to just under half standard power there is this uber groovy warm orange glow that fills the room.

 

If you want to see these bulbs in action then Sydney restaurants "Mr. Wong's" and "Ananas" use them for the same sort of mood lighting (just different styles of bulb).
