Illuminate Your Home with a Creative Motion 7" Plasma Ball Lamp

KitchenWitch: When this item arrived, it came with another item in a smaller package. I saw the smaller package and thought, oh no, this "7-inch" plasma globe is really just a 3" one with a 4" base! I could have spent $9.99 on this, instead of $14! But noooo. A different item was in the smaller package, this is indeed a full-on 7" GLOBE. For $14, that's not too shabby.

It doesn't come with any bells or whistles...no intensity adjustment, no "music response" (which basically means a globe will respond to any sound, not just music but say clapping for example, by blinking on and off. The tendrils themselves in those models aren't audio-sensitive) and so after looking at a multitude of similar items, I settled on the (at the time) lowest priced one, and man, I was soooo not disappointed!

This "Creative Motion" plasma ball (seller of the same name) is a 7-inch globe...globe size, not including base. The shipping-packaging was terrible (typical Amazon), and the interior packaging was also crappy, leading me to believe I had gotten a used item. But the globe was intact, and I couldn't make out any discernible fingerprints on the clear exterior (if someone wiped it down, they did a good...

robjonrobjon: Very well done. Ok, confession. I have always wanted a plasma ball since I was a kid, I am mesmerized. So now as a father (and since they are affordable and you don't have to go to the science museum to see one), I decided it was time to get one to enjoy with the kids. This plasma ball is exactly what I was hoping with one minor caveat (coming shortly).

As with most, in bright light it is not very glorious. But if you dim the lights, the display is dazzling. The plasma tendrils are highly motive and easily attracted to touch. It's very gratifying. Since it appears there are some other plasma ball products out there exaggerating their size, I was a little nervous, but it is "as advertised", the glass globe is pretty darn close to 7" in diameter.

The only thing I could say is that the base is just a tad light for the weight of the glass globe. With the kids' hands sliding all around it, I am half worried about their (normal) hand movements tipping it. That said, the base is sufficiently wide enough to keep the center of gravity just low enough to prevent an easy tip over. However, it does tip slightly with relatively gentle pressure, but because of the wide base, it...

rbryanmrbryanm: I confess my initial reaction was huge disappointment. I had a small usb plasma ball, 3" diameter, plugged into my playstation previously and my grandchildren loved it...lots of arcs and activity. now this one, out of the box, is pretty large -- the ball is 7" diameter and, atop its base, stands 11" high. I plugged it in...and put my finger to the ball...and one solid white line arced from the center to the glass beneath my finger. But when I removed my finger...well, it was little more than a large clear glass ball on a base.

I'm guessing the gases inside need to warm up to things somewhat because...wow! It is now blazing with beautiful blue lines that originate and end in an orange pinkish color. The ball is by an ac adapter that plugs into regular electrical outlets. The base is wide at the bottom and actually pretty sturdy though it is plastic and very light and it is a large glass globe atop it so I am left a little antsy about it falling and breaking (note I refer to the usb plasma ball in the past tense...heh). The grandchildren, at least the 20% (2 out of 10...hee) who have experienced it, are simply fascinated by it. My flat is illumined in the evening by an...
