A Matching Pair That Work!

Is this really possible? I go out about every 6 months or so and check on the local offerings from Lava. It is just a little check to see if anything has improved in the quality and performance of the lamps. On July 21, 2010, I brought home 10 lamps from three different stores and checked them for obvious defects such as scratched glass, bent bases and cloudy liquid. You know the routine. I found the two pictured here and they are a matching pair of K2103s dated 090910D. The date, 2009-09-18 on the base labels is also a match. They flow quite well if you put them on a dimmer. Thanks guys for having one known good day out of 365. Unfortunately, the other eight didn’t pass the test and had to go back to their homes on the store shelves. I don’t know a lot about statistics, but I think the odds of winning the Mega-millions lottery are probably better than finding these two lamps.

Comment by LavaMeister on July 31, 2010 at 1:15pm: Thanks for the thumbs up guys. I'm still scratching my head wondering how I managed to get a lava brand pair that work so well. I tried others from early 2010 and even one from October 2009. No such luck. Needless to say, I'll keep these two tucked away for historical reference since they appear to be the only two in the world that work. It's as if I woke up one morning, walked out in the yard and saw a T Rex eating a Dodo bird. LOLOL!!

Comment by LavaMeister on July 30, 2010 at 8:08pm: Yep. I found several floor dimmers at Lowe's for $5 each on a clearance. Yippee! I probably spend too much time messing with these lamps but once in a while it pays off. I can't resist sitting here at my desk checking them out while I do other things at the computer.

Comment by Charles on July 30, 2010 at 6:45pm: a dimmer? for 20 oz lamps? You are far more patient with them than I would be...and I thought I had given them wayyy too much slack.
