If you’ve been reading us long enough, you’ll know we’ve been keeping track of this alien abduction lamp. From early concept two years ago, to final prototype and now it’s finally being shipped out to Europe and Australia/New Zealand. It’s $100, though we aren’t sure in what currency. The rest of the world will get it pending regulatory approvals.
Here are a few of this lamp’s “features”:
Energy saving LEDs
High Quality Perspex Beam
Removable Bovine Abductee
Glowing green/yellow cockpit
Glow-in-the-dark aliens in cockpit
High quality steel body with fantastic black-pearl finish
3-stage UFO Control antenna, on/off and pulse

Awesome! I'm so getting one when I get my paycheck next month 😀 I really have nouse for it though, but I'll probably change it for my boring reading lamp from IKEA…
Cool, I know a handful of guys that will love this one (I'm one of them, but my girlfriend will probably toss it the minute I get plugged in). You guys should do a WW giveaway on this one instead of all the US-only products.
This is awesome, but the sheep (?) makes it too cartoony. I would never replace the cow.
I knew they were taking the cattle!
That is a very cute idea. Great for a kids room or play room. I don't see it being a part of my decor, but very cute. I like the effort and detail that went into them.
Finally! I need to get one
This would be cooler if the cow actully moved up towards the ship. And if the ship was really a black hawk helicopter filled with “the Man”
There's instructions for making a “knock off” in the Dollar Store Crafts website. If you're a DIY'er try here http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2009/03/alien-lamp/
But why are they abducting Shaun the Sheep? I love that little dude from Wallace and Grommit.
I assume the sheep if for the Australian market. The Aussies love sheep, and you can real in Collapse by Jared Diamond how they're driving their desolate, savage island nation into destruction for their love of sheep.
I'd really like to see a shot of this lamp in a darkened room – it's all about the abduction-beam!
It’s $100 US dollars.
At that price it's not abducting animals. It's abducting the buyers intelligence.
That is just pure cool!
