"Hi Glitterbug, well I call it a ferrule, don't know if it's the right name, but it seems to convey the information! I meant to get back to you again, as I didn't spell out clearly what may be your problem in my last post... 20w is…"

Hi all,I bought a Crestworth Snowflake fiber optic lamp on eBay, but I think I got scammed.The light is very dim and the color effects/changes are very underwhelming and kind of strange, so I decided to open the lamp to take a look inside, and I have a few questions:1.
