So, anyone got the goods on what LW will be putting out for their 50th anniversary? I did hear (from them) that whatever it is will be available in June. I also heard that they are phasing out the Accent lamps (hurray!).

i agree that the mathmos 50th lamps were nice! very elegant.
I don't think they will do a Grande for the 50th. I think the best we can expect is a Century style. Hopefully they have a worthy design but time will tell.
I can see them getting real creative and putting 49+1 on the base instead of a 50. Of course they could always throw a curve ball and go with 51-1 too. How cool would that be ?
If they don't do a new Grande then I won't be buying anything. LL's smaller lamps are way to disappointing!

I just don't think there is a big enough market for a Grande for the 50th, unless they do a range of sizes. Honestly I'm not expecting much :(

Sadly, I really do think that, to buyers in the current market-- and I mean the buyers who make up the lion's share of sales-- quality flow is unimportant. The first quality they look for, above all others, is low price. Beyond that, it's a lava lamp. It lights up, it bubbles a bit, it's a lava lamp. That's all they know and all they care to know. Quits working? It was cheap, toss it and buy another.
The age has passed when these were seen as elegant home accessories. They're now nothing but cheap novelties. HOWEVER-- I nonetheless think LL would make some some notable money if they made a range of lamps aimed at collectors and at commercial spaces which desire a top-notch lamp.

Jonas, I agree. I think a lot of us would buy quality lamps, even if they cost a lot more.
I'm not interested in LED lamps, accent lamps, or anything that requires me to be a chemist to change out the globe.
