HERE I AM OFFERING UP MY LAST PAIR OF MATCHED VINTAGE \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" TABLE TOP DESK LAMPS/LIGHTS WHICH ARE KNOWN AS THE \"JAZZ\" MODEL LIGHTS WHICH WERE/ARE MADE BY LUCE BASED OUT OF MILANO, ITALY, THIS PAIR/SET IS BLACK IN COLOR.THE LIGHTS I AM OFFERING HERE ARE THE FIRST GENERATION \"JAZZ\" MODELS WHICH HAVE A SIMPLE \"LOW/OFF/HIGH\" SWITCH. THIS SWITCH WILL STAY IN THE POSITION THAT YOU LEAVE IT IN. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS FIRST GENERATION LAMP IS IDEAL FOR USING IN CONJUNCTION WITH A WALL OUTLET WIRED TO A WALL SWITCH. THESE JAZZ LAMPS/LIGHTS MAKE WONDERFUL END TABLE LIGHTS, ACCENT LIGHTS, OFFICE LIGHTS, STUDY LIGHTS, ETC.... HERE YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN ORIGINAL FACTORY BLACK PAIR OF THESE \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" JAZZ LAMPS!! THIS SET OF BLACK LIGHTS WERE PURCHASED BY ME ONCE I MOVED OUT OF MY PARENTS HOME AFTER GRADUATING COLLEGE. HAVING A PAIR OF THE GRAY ONES IN MY BEDROOM IN MY PARENTS HOME FOR A FEW YEARS, I GREW ACCUSTOMED TO THEM SO WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO MAKE A MOVE.... I THOUGHT WHY NOT STICK WITH THE TRIED, TRY AND TESTED ... SO I PURCHASED THIS PAIR AND BROUGHT THEM TO THEIR NEW HOME! THESE LIGHTS WERE PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME AND FROM THE SAME RETAILER. HOWEVER, SEEING HOW THE NEW MODEL (WITH THE NEW \"DIMBAR\") WAS TAKING OVER, THESE FIRST GENERATION LIGHTS WERE SCARCE AND PRETTY MUCH SOLD OUT. I MENTION THIS AS YOU WILL NOTICE (AS WITH THE GRAY PAIR THAT I HAVE LISTED) THAT A COUPLE OF SUBTLE DIFFERENCES APPEAR BETWEEN THESE TWO (2) LIGHTS. THESE DIFFERENCES CAN ONLY BE SEEN/DETECTED ONCE THESE ARE FLIPPED OVER AND THEIR UNDERSIDES ARE EXPOSED. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE WHITE WARNINGS ON THE CORDS STORAGE CASE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AS IS THE REST OF THE WRITING ON THE BASE ITSELF. IT\'S PRETTY MUCH ALL THE SAME, JUST SHIFTED AROUND IN LOCATION.THESE LAMPS WORK WELL WITH A WALL SWITCHED POWER OUTLET. IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAVE A WALL SWITCH WIRED TO A WALL PLUG AND DECIDE TO USE THESE TWO (2) LAMPS AS END TABLE LIGHTS ... LET\'S SAY LIKE IN A BEDROOM AS WE DID, YOU WOULD HAVE NO ISSUES AS WHEN YOU FLIP THE WALL SWITCH, THESE LAMPS WILL LIGHT UP AS YOU LEFT THEM ON... EITHER \"LO\" OR \"HIGH\". THESE LAMPS WERE MADE FAMOUS IN ONE OF THE STAR TREK MOVIES AS THEY USED THESE \"JAZZ\" LAMPS IN ONE OF THE SCENES AS THESE APPEARED IN GREAT QUANTITY ON A CONFERENCE ROOM TABLE. I HAVE THAT PICTURE IN MY FILES IF YOU\'D LIKE TO SEE IT, I FELT IT BETTER TO SHOW YOU WHAT YOUR RECEIVING FROM ME AND NOT WHAT HOLLYWOOD USED AS A FUTURISTIC PROP! THE LAMPS USED IN THIS MOVIE WAS THE GRAY COLORED LAMPS WHICH I HAVE LISTED (UNLESS THEY SOLD OFF).IN THE LATE 1970\'S \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" MODIFIED THESE LAMPS TO INCLUDE A NEWLY DEVELOPED \"DIMBAR\" SWITCH. THIS \"DIMBAR\"IS ACTIVATED BY PRESSING DOWN ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER OF THE SWITCH. ONE SIDE WILL LOWER THE INTENSITY OF THE BULB WHILE THE OTHER SIDE WILL INCREASE IT. BUT, IF YOU HOLD DOWN EITHER ONE OF THE SIDES, IT\'S A LOOP AND THE LAMP\'S INTENSITY (BRIGHTNESS) WILL CONTINUE DOWN AND THEN BACK UP AGAIN... UNTIL YOU RELEASE IT. WHEN YOU TURNED THIS LIGHT OFF AND LATER TURNED IT BACK ON, THE LIGHT WOULD RETURN TO THE LAST SETTING, MAKING IT THE FIRST RHEOSTAT LIGHT IN THE WORLD WHICH RETAINED IT\'S LAST SETTING WITHOUT BEING POWERED UP. THIS SECOND GENERATION TABLE LAMP DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH SWITCHED WALL OUTLETS AS YOU WOULD HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GO TO THE LAMP AND THEN DEPRESS THE \"DIMBAR\" TO TURN THE LIGHT ON.... GRANTED IT WILL GO TO IT\'S LAST SETTING, BUT NOT A GOOD IDEA IN A DARK ROOM!I JUST REPLACED THE BULBS SO THEY WILL BE EQUAL TO EACH OTHER, YOU\'LL HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THESE BURNING DIFFERENTLY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO MATCH THE SETTINGS ONCE AND THEN WALK AWAY! THESE LAMPS ARE TELESCOPIC BY DESIGN. THEY PULL DIRECTLY OUT, BUT HAVE THREE (3) SECTIONS, IF YOU WANT ANY PARTICULAR MEASUREMENT OR MEASUREMENTS, CONTACT ME AND I\'LL MEASURE THE ONE IN MY OFFICE. IN FACT, I HAVE 1 OF EACH OF THE VINTAGE \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" TABLE LAMPS IN MY OFFICE, THEY OFFERED THREE (3) VERY UNIQUE MODELS. THIS \"JAZZ\" WAS THEIR MOST POPULAR MODEL AS IT WAS ALSO THE MOST PRACTICAL AND THE LEAST COSTLY ONE! THE BOTTOM OF THESE LAMPS ARE ALL THE SAME COLOR AND THAT IS BLACK. THE TOP SECTION AND THE ARM VARY IN COLOR AND THE ONES BEING OFFERED HERE ARE, ONCE AGAIN, BLACK. YOU HAVE NO CRACKS, DISCOLORATION, CHIPS OR ISSUES WITH THE ARM, BOTH TENSION SCREWS WORK AS DESIGNED, AND HERE\'S A GOOD WORD OF CAUTION/ADVICE, THESE TENSION SCREWS GET SET INTO A BASE OF A LEAD ALLOY. IF YOUR AT ALL FAMILIAR WITH LEAD, YOU KNOW IT\'S A SOFT METAL, SO USE CAUTION AND TINY TURNS, IF YOU EVER HAVE TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT TO THE TENSION OF THE ARM. A VERY COMMON SIDE EFFECT OF THIS TENSION ARE STRESS CRACKS AROUND THESE SET SCREWS. ONE OF THE TWO JAZZ LIGHTS HERE HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT WILL JUST BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE OTHER LIGHT HAS THESE CRACKS AS THIS IS EVER-SO COMMON AND BY IT\'S DESIGN, AS THE TENSION IS ALL HELD BY THE BASE IN WHICH THESE SCREWS ARE PLACED. THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON ANYTHING AND ONCE AGAIN, IS ONLY TOO COMMON WITH THESE LAMPS DUE TO ALL OF THE TENSION AND STRESS APPLIED TO THE ARM. I DID TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS \"STRESS\" CRACK AND AT ONE TIME SUPER GLUE WAS APPLIED INTO THIS CRACK IN ORDER TO STOP THIS STRESS CRACK FROM SPREADING. AT THE TIME, I DID NOT REALIZE WHAT IT WAS AND HOW IT GOT THERE. IN TIME, I FIGURED THIS OUT AND HAVING A BUNCH OF THESE LIGHTS, YOU THEN REALIZE THAT IT BECOMES A COMMON SIGHT AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO WILL PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING... IT\'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BEAST!!PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES, AS THESE DO BECOME A VITAL AND IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION.
