It still amazes me that a long metal spring has kept our attention for over 60 years. Even after all that time, people are still coming up with ways to get more mileage out of the Slinky - and this Desk Lamp is certainly one of the best examples.

Each lamp features a 50W, 12V halogen lamp with a working Slinky attached to a heavy base. Both the base and the lamp light up for use as a desk lamp or night light. You can pick one up for $99.95. — Sean Fallon
