I'm a fan of odd lighting fixtures, and around Halloween time all of my
odd and creepy lighting fixtures come out of their boxes, and get placed
around the house for the best lighting effect.
One of my favorite lights is my large 8 inch Nebula Plasma Ball.
Everyone who gets a look at this radical ball has to touch it. That's
more than okay though, because this is exactly what the Nebula Plasma
Ball is made for; to be touched.
The ball looks as if it has a bunch of purple and blue veins running
throughout it, once you touch the ball a line of light will attach
itself to your finger through the glass (don't worry though, you won't
get zapped), as it gently tickles your finger.
On the inside of the light where your finger is touching a small red
light will surround your finger while the lightning bolt swirls around
and moves with your fingers movements. It's a pretty spectacular ball if
you have never seen one.
The Nebula Plasma Ball can be found at almost any head shop or
Spencer's stores nationwide, however these stores sell them in different
sizes, from small to large, for ridiculous prices, even for the smaller
models.
You can purchase a Nebula Plasma Ball for only $40.00 at www.scientificsonline.com.
This particular ball is a nice large 8 inches with a black base, and a
power adapter. Some smaller ones run on batteries, but we all know that
not having to re-buy batteries is the best way to go. So make sure you
get one with an AC adapter.
The hand blown glass is somewhat fragile, so even though you will want
guests touching your plasma ball, make sure they do so with care, and
do not place the ball somewhere where it could easily be tipped or
knocked over.
This is probably one of the best interactive lighting fixtures I have.
I always bring it out for Halloween parties, and my guests always seem
to enjoy toying around with it for quite some time.
The Nebula Plasma Ball will still produce a static like light show
even when people are not interacting with it. This ball is also always a
hit with children; do make sure you monitor them while they are playing
with it though.
Other precautions are to make sure you turn the ball off after a party
is over, or before bed. The balls base does tend to heat up quite a
bit, and although it is doubtful, it could cause a fire, so shut it off!
Besides that, the Nebula Plasma Ball has been nothing but an
interesting piece, that I have enjoyed year after year during my
Halloween parties. It is eye catching, an really gives the room a
dazzling yet eerie Halloween vibe. It is a must have for any Halloween
enthusiast.
The Nebula Ball also looks excellent on your work desk. I do recommend a smaller size though.
