Telephone Company Ripping You Off? Get Revenge With This Lamp


Somehow it doesn't seem like landline providers would be happy about people using the tiny bit of electricity coming through phone-jacks to power lamps, but this thing is so kitschy looking that it'd be hard to resist. Plus it's cheeeeeeap.

Less than five bucks for an 8-LED lamp that won't even be a blip on your electricity bill? Why not grab one, especially if it somehow pisses off your teleco?

Two major problems:
1. All phone companies use 12 volt to talk on the phone, not all companies use the same voltage to ring the phone. Some use 12 volts, some 24, and a couple use 48 volts to ring the phone. Great, you hear a partial ring, then your lamp explodes.
2. If there is too many thing pluged into the line, your phone may not notice the line change and trigger the ring. Your phone doesn't ring, but for some reason your lamp keeps blinking!
