You think so? Is there more than one model? The one I saw was so ugly I wouldn't even think of buying it.

Ok I'm quoting this from the other thread about the shabbos lamp:

Quote:

I love it! I like to read at night but dh has trouble sleeping with light, so this is a great compromise all week long because I can "aim" the light.

I guess that can work for non frum couples too. They appreciate shalom bayis too! Tongue Out

But you wouldn't need the kosher lamp for that--any lamp with a flexible gooseneck would do. Not to mention the Itty Bitty Book Lamp and all the knockoffs thereof.

Those flexible lamps don't "turn off" nearly as completely as a shabbos lamp. I too was a skeptic and thought the Shabbos lamp was stupid until I got one as a wedding present.
