In the 1950s, tv lamps were dim lamps that people turned on while watching tv in the dark, in order to protect their eyesight. They stopped being made sometime in the 1960s because it turns out that watching tv in a dark room is fine for your eyesight?
We’re not doctors, but we are Tropical Fish, so we bought this lamp because it’s ocean-themed. It is in excellent condition, and we no longer have a safe spot for it, so, although we still love it, we are hoping that it can grace someone else’s home/studio.
