I've got an IKEA lamp by my bedside and the halogen bulb just died after 20yrs or so.

Ikea prob sold many millions of these. I saw many around and pics come up right away when searching 'halogen Ikea lamp.' Many search hits are labelled 'vintage' 😂
It's the telescopic Expressivo model. Mine's white like this pic. Got or had one yourself?
Many pics don't show the little adjuster stick. This black one shows it, but it likely breaks off for many owners.
I wouldn't be surprised if the halogen bulb emits in the UV somewhat, and degrades the plastic, helping it along.
@ottaross I should perhaps look for a dimmable LED replacement for mine flexible desk lamp too, though I don't use it that often either...

@ottaross I have the black model… somewhere.

@ottaross oh I had that lamp back in the day but I think I was mangled beyond repair in a pillow fight

I think Ikea single-handedly saved the languishing TV rabbit-ears industry with that lamp. The adjustable telescoping arms are of the same construction. 😂
@ottaross
I spent some hours adjusting rabbit ears while my Dad and friends watched Hockey Night in Canada. I occasionally stood there holding on to one of the antenna during a particularly exciting part of the game because it improved the reception. I was happy to contribute. -
@ottaross oh, I was hoping it was a larger floor lamp…. That would really be ideal.
@Ve3ldj a telescoping floor lamp would be pretty cool.

@FiXato Nice, looks like the same G4 bulb.

@monstreline lol - yeah not pillow-fight proof.

Bulbs - ugh. I could buy one locally for $14 or get 10 for $12 online.
In this case my value equation says buying local and not storing nine bulbs pointlessly for decades is worth a few bucks to me.
@ottaross did you get a nice warm temperature bulb?

@ottaross wouldn’t the (real) glass cover block the UV?

@mWare probably so. Perhaps the heat is more of a factor making the plastic somewhat brittle.

@jpmens @pitrh ah yes but I see that it overlaps with Berlin Fedi Day - so maybe the next one (2027)? 🥲

Proseguono le analisi da parcheggio del nostro più acuto analista geopolitico. Probabilmente ritiene di avere delle cimici in casa ma bisognerà avvertirlo che il nemico lo ascolta su YouTube e poi fa il contrario

@antonej immagino che il tema sia facilmente sostituibile, ma d'altra parte KDE nasce proprio per emulare l'ambiente windows per chi non vuole faticare nel passaggio
