The Alien Abduction Lamp has landed
Two Alien Abduction Lamp prototypes arrive at Oslo airport
Standing before me on my desk at home is a fully functional prototype of the Alien Abduction Lamp – complete with lights and alien pilots.
As the designer of this lamp, I am not going to begin to describe the feeling of holding a physical version of the lamp that I have been working with renderings and models of for the the last year and a half.
I suppose that your first reaction is to want to see a picture or a video, but I am afraid that I can not show any images yet. This is after all a prototype, and as with all prototypes, the overall look is somewhat different from what a final product.
Please trust me for now when I say that the lamp looks fantastic! I am convinced that those of you who wanted a lamp after seeing the computer generated images will definitely want to own the real thing.
When will it be available?
I have had a long and productive meeting with the representative from the company in London who is in charge of sourcing this lamp from a highly experienced lamp factory in China. We were both very happy with how the lamps look, and we agreed on a relatively short list of amendments that need to be made before we can say it is finished.
Messages keep ticking in daily from abductionlamp.com to ask me if this lamp is available yet, so I know there are many people wondering how long it is going to be before we start shipping the lamp. Drew agrees with me that making the product as good as possible is more important than rushing to meet a specific date.
All I can say right now is that the heaviest work is behind us, and that we are rapidly ironing out the last minor issues. We are working to have the lamp ready as soon as possible, but we have not set a final deadline yet. I think you will agree with our priorities and be happy that we are making no compromises once you see the final product.
Limited edition
We are considering a special opportunity for all of you who have followed the lamp faithfully by sending messages at abductionlamp.com and by posting comments with your email here at herrklein.com. You will be the first to know, and we will invite all of you to be the first to get a chance to order a limited edition sample with a certificate that I will personally sign for you as soon as we get the lamp ready.
Kind regards,
Lasse

I had seen a link to your design a while back somewhere and thought that was the most awesome lamp design… just brilliant, looking great, with an awesome sense of humor. So congratulations on getting your prototype! Can’t wait till they are produced and available, so we can all be a little bit cooler ;p

Today I heard for the first time of your lamp. I think it is really a great idea and I wonder why it hasn’t been done before.
Well, anyway, I can’t wait to light my small student flat with an original abduction lamp. Hurry up man
Greetings from Germany,
André
November 10th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

If you can find a way to keep the cost and price down, this will be very popular.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:03 am
I’m hoping that it will be ready for Christmas. “We come in peace for all mankind” would be a good Christmas theme.

April 1st, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Hey! We’re on the same wave length…I submitted a yard sculpture design for approval in my area, and it was to be a UFO sending down a beam of light,( which would actually light up the ground) with three, really pissed off looking, 3 1/2 foot tall Aliens holding nasty looking space weapons. This sculpture would be 20 ft tall.
The city said, “no way” could I out that in my front yard…got lots of laughs from the board though!
I had originally thought about having it on my roof, but, I knew that wouldn’t FLY!
Still working on it…will scale it down!
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:16 pm
I’ve been waiting for this product to be made for what seems like years! Hope it’ll become a reality soon!
April 16th, 2009 at 5:03 pm

Greetings I have been following and waiting for this lamp since I first came across the article almost 2 years ago ( I think ) and I have commented once in a while just to stay in touch. I realy want one of these lamps and I’m not overly concered about the price, particularly if it comes with the signed certificate.
