TFN REVIEW: TIE Fighter Posable Desk Lamp

The Star Wars™ TIE Fighter Posable Desk Lamp was recently sent in for review and I have to say it is very nice. Available at The Fowndry, The Star Wars™ TIE Fighter Posable Desk Lamp comes in a nice sturdy box and is heavier than I had imagined. Opening the box the carton slips out and assembly is a snap. Simply plug the lamp into the heavy base then add two springs and you are good to go.

The Star Wars™ TIE Fighter Posable Desk Lamp runs off USB power, which shouldn't be an issue in this day and age of USB everything. The one nice thing about the USB option is the cord length itself. With the cord being about 6ft in length, you can place the lamp at any location and not feel cramped with electronics at your desk. It also features a switch inline so you can turn it on and off easily without having to plug it in or unplug it.

The lamp uses LED lighting housed in the TIE fighter itself. You can control or place the TIE in numerous positions which can be side tracking and lead to a lot of "pew-pew-pew!" moments.

Over all the The Star Wars™ TIE Fighter Posable Desk Lamp gets 5 out of 5 sabers and is highly recommended for Star Wars fans. Below are more details.

Now you can re-enact the head-spinning dogfights and Trench Run with this awesome adjustable spotlight... well, kind of. Powered by twin ion engines USB, standing a full 60cm tall when extended and based on the timeless Anglepoise design, the officially licensed balanced-arm LED TIE Fighter lamp is your very own open plan aerial escort, keeping Red Squadron off your six when you’re burning the Imperial candle at both ends.

Fun fact: The unmistakable ‘siren-wail’ TIE fighter sound was made by combining the sounds of a car on a wet pavement with a screeching elephant
