The amazon page says 6000K, so…

3, 4, 5, and 6k.

@haydesigner That’s the main reason I decided to order these, ignoring the outdated 1A USB port.

@guyfromhawthorn damned if you show a new product in a mehrathon, damned if you don’t

I was genuinely considering these during the mehrathon. And now I am again.

@phendrick These are from that lost 0.3.

@werehatrack It worked! Your order number is: obsolete-bitter-ball

/showme obsolete bitter ball

@mediocrebot Let that order number not be an Omen.

/showme outsized outrage

@mediocrebot awesome, just awesome

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

@mediocrebot EXCEPT THESE LAMPS!

It still looks like it would be decent as a desk lamp but they shouldn’t have bothered with the USB port.

@Jonas4321 They most likely didn’t have to shell out too much

@werehatrack for that song? Guess again. She made millions.

@Jonas4321 Licensing fees for use of recordings and for performances are set and actively enforced by ASCAP/BMI. If you really think that website might be using the music without permission, just report it to them. But the fees can be remarkably modest, depending upon what kind of use is being made of the music. I’ve been involved with having to get an ASCAP or BMI license for something in the past, and sometimes you get surprised by just exactly how little you have to shell out. If you’re going to use it in a super bowl ad, yes, you’re going to pay a fair chunk. But on a website with very few hits, not so much. Still, there’s a lot more unauthorized use than there ought to be. But more important, there are a hell of a lot more fees collected by ASCAP/BMI that never put any significant percentage of that collection back into the artist’s pocket than there ought to be.

@werehatrack If I can’t say something nice, I am obliged to say nothing at all, and just leave it at that. I really like that song.

@Jonas4321 @werehatrack I have a neighbor who was an 80’s pop star. She was pretty happy when a season of American Horror Story used one of her songs as a theme song a few years ago and the royalty checks came in.

@Jonas4321 @macromeh It’s absolutely true that the royalty to use a song recording by the original artist, as part of a TV show, is both substantial, and far higher than the royalty to use it on a low-traffic website, but that is not what’s under discussion here. This is reported as the use of a midi file, not a performance recording, so it’s just a low-volume authorial royalty and not a performer royalty at all, and might be a shared authorial with the transcriber who created the MIDI representation. This could literally involve pennies after all of the filters are applied.

@bathsheba Or just ignore that useless feature, and buy the product based on the rest of what’s there. Or don’t buy it. It’s your choice.

@whogots I think you just sold me on a workbench light/paper towel holder combo!

@whogots I was thinking for the kitchen. In that case

@uvassassin @whogots Might be better suited for a bog roll in the loo.

@milstarr @whogots I wasn’t tempted at all until I read that, but it does sound like a useful feature for use on a shop or crafts table.

@Kyeh @milstarr @whogots The towel roll thing may be a no-go. The lamp is not quite tall enough for the rolls I’ve got. The head can’t swing down with the roll in place. (Not without significant risk of breaking something, anyway.)

@milstarr @werehatrack @whogots Oh, too bad. I didn’t spring for it, myself. Thanks for the info.

@Kyeh @werehatrack @whogots We can always saw off the excess height of the paper towels! Then use that excess bit someplace else. Like keep it in the trunk for when you check the oil in your car.

@milstarr @werehatrack @whogots Or maybe just saw a roll in half and use each half separately? Sawing off a short bit seems difficult!

@Kyeh ^^^Better plan IMO^^^

@uvassassin It worked! Your order number is: diligent-fidgety-parsnip
