They also made great pretend/play jousting lances, though all the insects that were dead inside of it would get all over the place as you swung those things around, but still, good times (at least until you got caught doing that).

And changing the bulb on one of those that newly burned out was like trying to work with lava.

All the halogen/fluorescent/etc bulbs before LED were super hot if you didn't let them cool down for a couple minutes.

But really, who under 40 ever waited for them to cool down? Nobody had time for that.
