Oh my… I don’t think I’d classify my merry band of misfit lamps as “coherent” hahaha. There’s two or three nice lamps! …then a bunch I can’t throw away because it would make them feel bad, and by proxy, me be sad.
…I feel like someone those lamps would also set the house ablaze if plugged in and run overnight. Alas, squatter’s rights; I can’t just kick them out at this point, they’ve been here for over a decade.
My latest craze is using an RGB ring light (that I got for WFH video chats “so people cold see me better”, which DEFINITELY ever was used for that purpose and not IMMEDIATELY relegated to “Pokémon plushie collection light enhancer”) pointed upward on the opposite end of my room, turned down to medium-dim, and turned either one a cool bluegreen color, rainbow, or a warm white light which bounces off the ceiling. I love you, Ring Light of Many Colors!
Whoa I didn’t realise how wrong I was hahaha, sounds like you have an incredible setup! Especially envious of your plushies having their own personal lighting system, that’s definitely not going to motivate me to find one for my own collection…
The big light tends to get a colour changing bulb swapped into them so the many colours (and extremely useful dimming settings) I completely understand!
Our only The Big Light lives in our kitchen and I got a nice bright white bulb to put in it after years of it being empty. My reasoning: Now I can see the dirty parts better to clean it betterer!
In actuality: I’d rather clean in the dark and leave the place dirty than awaken The Big Light, too horrifyingly bright and omnipresent!
Colour changing bulb would very much help with that—I’ve been meaning to get HomeAssistant set up, so I should look into ordering some colour-changing bulbs that work with HA, thank you for the idea!
The plushies all actually get their own full-sized couch, hanging out in the living room with our cats while we’re working! I bring the lights out for photo sessions sometimes. My partner and I met ages ago and instantly bonded over our love for Pokémon since 1996-1997 (knew we loved it before it was even released in the US!) so we’ve got a kinda horrifying collection of hundreds to maybe a thousand? built up over the years. >w< My only regret so far was passing up on a life sized lucario, I saw it in a shop and set a limit for 400 or so, but it was nearly twice that… oh, and we don’t have the snorlax love sac. Our friend does and it’s incredible.
