Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Was thinking the same thing. £100 for something that does the exact same thing as my £15 one.

Better build quality, design and a life time warranty.

You could say that about basically any high quality product

 

[ThereIs0nly0ne]

Yes, basically a good quality product with a lifetime guarantee. A discount of around 40% helps too.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Does the guarantee cover the lightbulb or the fuse? Or just the spring and the on/off switch.

I take it there are no other moving parts?

I am not knocking the price btw, I have a £35 mini copper pan that only fits a tin of beans in.

I don't see why they command the price they do, it's just a lamp!

Yeah but it's a really expensive lamp worthy of posting on OcUK

All lesser lamps are for oiks!

+1 for Anglepoise. I have the 75 mini and it’s a great lamp.

Depends what you mean by 'does the exact same thing' - if you mean it provides you with light, then yes. But there's a lot of moving parts with these, and cheap anglepoise can be a nightmare to adjust; they'll light where you point them...briefly...and then sag.

I'm not saying all cheapos do that, it's just my experience will all but the real McAnglepoise.

@dirtychinchilla that’s right, you gave me the confidence boost I needed to get it sorted, I owe you a beer and then some

What a lovely post. Love things like this.

You know what? Sometimes it's just nice to have something nice. Well made, works properly, made of good materials and feels good to use. Money's only good for buying stuff, so sometimes people are willing to spend more to get a premium product with a premium experience. Nothing wrong with that if that's where you want to spend your money. It's often the difference between something you chuck away after a short time, or something you keep (and enjoy) for many years, or even a lifetime.

Very much agreed.

Slight upgrade from my 6 year old 42" dumb TV...

May I ask what plant this is.

I think it's something 'ears'?

Edit may have found it. Mother in laws tongue?
Ears.. Tongue.. Close enough

Oh and +1 for Anglepoise - I got a 1970's one off eBay a few months ago to go in my mancave

Had quite a few over the years
