Vintage Dazor Fluorescent Desk Lamp
Got this as a Christmas present! Came from eBay. It's an old fluorescent desk lamp, likely from the late 50s or early 60s. It has the manual-preheat style starter. Still works great for its age and puts out a lot of light. This unit is Model 1000.

Also, if anyone wants to see this light in action, I've got a video of it up:

Are the lamps independantly switched for light level control or are they on the same switch? Regardless, awesome score! Very Happy Cool

Thanks man! Very Happy The lamps are on the same switch - you press and hold the red button until the ends of the lamps glow, and then release to light.

Thanks! Funny enough, I actually had that happen earlier today - I pressed the button quickly and only the front bulb lit.
