Switching the alien Abduction Lamp on

Twist the antenna to switch on!

Run to the hills, the aliens are coming! Only joking, they’ve already arrived, aboard the gloriously kitsch Alien Abduction Lamp. As you can see this fantastically ludicrous, limited edition lamp depicts a scene familiar to anyone who has watched too many ropey ‘50s sci-fi movies, and it’s just as eerily enthralling as the real thing (we imagine).

Cast in metal with a beautiful black pearl finish, the flying saucer section of the lamp features glowing windows complete with curious aliens. It’s so convincing we wouldn’t be surprised if Elvis was in there along with David Icke, George Dubya’s lizard half brother and a gas pump attendant from Wyoming.

To add to the (un)realism the saucer’s antenna serves as an on/off switch for the lamp’s energy saving LEDs. There’s also a third position that causes the perspex ‘beam’ to pulse. Any more realistic and you might have to call the National Enquirer (assuming you wear dungarees and answer to the name Billy Bob).

Flashing lights on the Alien Abduction Lamp The LED lights The cow

A very flash alien!

Energy saving LEDs

Remooveable cow

If guests find watching a cow floating in a tractor beam too traumatic, the bovine abductee can be remoooved from the lamp’s tactile astroturf base and quarantined in Area 51 (aka your kitchen drawer). It’s udder genius.

Switching the alien Abduction Lamp on

A close encounter every day!

Although the movies that inspired the Alien Abduction Lamp were cheap, shoddy and unintentionally hilarious, there is nothing schlocky about this high quality light. In fact it’s so hypnotically cool, you may find yourself humming 'duh, ner, ner, nuh, ner' and sculpting mountains out of mashed potatoes. Even if you don’t believe in little green men we guarantee you’ll be transfixed.

Because let’s face it, unless your car breaks down in the middle of Hicksville it’s unlikely you’ll ever witness a real alien abduction. (Actually, it’s unlikely you’ll ever witness one, period). But with this fantastically original curio you can enjoy a close encounter of the stylish kind every single day. So get ordering before our strictly limited stock wobbles back to the home planet. All together now, ‘I want to believe.’

I love to repurpose things. This lamp is cool, but the "LED lights how" was a disappointment to me. It doesn't flash like the picture on your site under the the title "A very flash alien!". Also the beam never "pulses" on mine as delivered! From your site it says "There’s also a third position that causes the perspex ‘beam’ to pulse.". Not true! So I made it do what I thought it should have from the start. And more... enjoy! BTW - I still like the design and finish, and would buy another one as a present for a friend... maybe I'd include a model of their favourite car or something else they liked to put in the beam.

visitor avatar I love this lamp even to the beam doesnt pulse, I only got one glove is this right? I also have to turn it anti clock wise to get the lights to change, I just seams alittle backwards but still a nice item.
Jillian, Doncaster - 21st December 2011
Firebox says: Hey Jillian! The picture on the website shows that the antenna should be turned anti clockwise to switch on. You're right in saying that the beam doesn't pulse but that's certainly a good suggestion for the supplier! As quirky as it sounds - we're glad you love it!
visitor avatar I just couldn't resist getting this for my other half and I'm glad I did! He loves it! It's not only a great lamp but an amoosing (haha) ornament. Very well made and the gloves provided to stop leaving finger prints over it while putting it together are really good.
Kira, 222 - 28th January 2011
visitor avatar This is really a great lamp;though don't expect to read a book by the light emitted. It gives off a lovely warm glow which changes from green to orange. The lamp is well made and when the cow is slotted into the base the whole thing looks really camp but in a good way. Recommended for sci-fi fans especially.
Fred Smith, Marlow - 28th December 2010
visitor avatar Very expensive, but it looks like a quality item. Is this the limited edition signed by the designer that comes with the poster/certificate?. Does the cockpit always flash when the beam is on and does it give off enough light to be a functional lamp, or is it purely decorative? Thanks.
Chris, England - 30th November 2009
Firebox says: It is limited edition but it doesn't come signed or with a certificate. The cockpit stays on when the lamp is on and yes! It gives off enough light to use as a proper lamp.
visitor avatar I still love mine!! It isn't a novelty lamp, or a toy, or a joke item, it's a high quality stylised piece that is very well made - and I wouldn't give mine up even if you gave me £80 for it.
Denise, London - 26th November 2009
visitor avatar Ludicrous indeed! Pearlescent black finish for our spacecraft. We'd be fried, it has to be more total-solar reflective... you humans, you make me laugh. Also the whole cow thing -- we was framed! (Look at NASA file TS-551CIA-666 -- or ask Gary McKinnon). Personally I think £80 is a steal for a limited-edition collectors item like this... but some are folks never satisfied. Would you take pan-galactic, interdimensional neo-titanium-nanobeads (our local currency)?... If so what exchange rate do you offer?
Zygon-x651, Sea Of Tranquility - 26th November 2009
visitor avatar Seriously cool lamp. Boyfriend got this for my birthday and I have to say the quality is awesome. Really solid metal unit and people certainly love talking about it when they see it.
Denise Chester, London - 26th November 2009
visitor avatar Does the cow float or just sit there?
Eamonn McEvoy, Éire, Béal Feirste - 19th November 2009
Firebox says: It's stationary. In mid air.
visitor avatar For the price I didn't expect to have to assemble the lamp myself!Also the "leave no fingerprints behind" gloves supplied made the beam slippy and hard to hold. But a great talking point, Fabulous!
