The Startling High Voltage Reindeer Head
Wall Light arrives in several parts. On
opening
the box, one's initial reaction will be to
look for the rest of the antlers, which
appear to be rather stubby, and devoid of
the usual twisting horny features. A
further search of the contents reveals
a
clear mounting plate, pre-drilled with
a number of holes and a set of electrical
contact nodules.
The instructions tell you to fix the
mounting plate to the wall and plug it
into
the mains electric either by tracking the
wall to hide the cable, or by using the
trailing lead, if you are lazy.
You then are advised to attach the
reindeer head to the mounting plate, and
place as many of the contact nodules
into
the holes provided around the plate's
periphery as you want.
You may now stand back and switch on
your new Startling High Voltage Reindeer
Head Wall Light.
On activation a step up transformer
hidden inside the reindeer's head begins
to distribute high voltage power via a
rotating cam to a series of contacts at
the
tips of the stubby antlers.
On reaching these terminal points,
tongues of electricity leap randomly
across the
gaps
and unto the receiving nodules,
completing the circuits, and also visually
completing the antlers.
The resulting blue glow illuminates the
surrounding room.
Nodules can be
repositioned (with the light in the off
position) from time to time to vary
the pattern.
A small tray is provided that sits
discretely
on the floor, below the head, in order to
catch the
grilled remnants of any flies unfortunate
enough to be attracted to the light.
Ozone may also be collected from
the ceiling area, and bottled for future
use.
