...do any of yall run your lamps continuously, all the time?  I never turn mine off!  Not sure if this will cause me problems down the line, but hasn't yet.  Really haven't been GOOing for long tho...

Share, if you will, YOUR scheduling preference and why/how you dewit, or what you've learned from it.

Thanks!

I guess I'll have to start alternating them then.  That means I have to buy more lamps.......  :-)

Horrible strain upon the nerves, eh, Kirk?  LOL    And I have not learned what is "good" and what is "not good" on ebay yet, except for a few lamps I recognize.......Blech....

sometimes i run them for 6 hours a day or so, and sometimes i run them all day and night.  it just depends on my mood.  if i notice signs of  overheating, i'll shut it off. i figure that as long as i average 6-8 hours a day over the month, i'm good.

I just turned off 3 of 5 I had runnin........Drat again.   Maybe I should just wait till dark to turn them on, and run them till bedtime.  Or BUY MORE lamps......LOL

[Kirk]

I like mine (a whole room is devoted, and I mean devoted, to them) in the dark best with a glass of scotch!  Just need to remember to stay off Ebay during this time.  I have been know to make a few miscalculations and then strange lamps appear at the post office for me.  Ha!

[Jus]

Not me, man! My lamps can rest when they're DEAD!

It's better to burn out, than  f a  d   e     a    w      a      y...

lol @ Kirk

I have the exact same problem...only, totally different.  Heh...!

[Marley's Ghost]

LOL, Jus, I just turned mine back ON after you said that!!!!   And Kirk, I don't have room for too very many lamps, let alone an entire room, but strange packages are turning up in my mail too.  And I know I paid "way" too much for one of them, but I wanted it......   I also need more glitter Wizards in every color.  HELP.   I need BLUE and white/silver (whatever color that is).   Good thing hubby just got a few of his "collectables" yesterday.  Now I can get away with a few more. 

[Kirk]

Libby - I know the addiction well.  I've got several lamps that I also paid too much for and several that I have more than one of -- I'm proof that white/blue midnights were popular in the 1990s.  I have 4 of them. LOL.  I'd honestly like to help you, but something tells me we aren't good for each other.  And I know what you mean about your hubby getting his, so now you get to get yours.  Good luck on your glitter Wizards.  I now have a red glitter Blip, and just won a blue glitter Midnight Wizard for $16.48 ($12.64 shipping).  Thought that was a buy!

Jus - I sometimes run my lamps longer than I said I did.  :>P

[Marley's Ghost]

KIRK----why are we not good for each other???   Do I have leprosy or something?  LOL  I only want "one" blue glitter Wizard and "one" white or silver glitter Wizard, and don't care what the base color is.  I have stayed on ebay till I am falling over from lack of sleep, then here you come up with a Blue for a killer price?  I might not be too good at searching on ebay.....Drat.   I think I am addicted......I KNOW I am addicted.  Lord have Mercy! 

P. S.  I wanted a "Blip" too, but can't find one.  I didn't know they made them in glitter too....Oh no...... 

[Kirk]

Libby - please be careful, lest you too have 110+ lamps in 4 months.  <grin>  My better half is encouraged that I've pulled 15 lamps to sell and setup the Ebay table in the garage, but I haven't listed a single one yet.  <grin><grin>   Seriously, hang in there.  You will get the deal when you least expect it.  I search Ebay for new listings on lava, glitter, and fiber optic lamps at least 10 times a day.  Persistence pays.
