Hi Jim,

I would like to go ahead with this order. Since there is such a long lead time, and I ultimately want 2 (for bedside lamps) I would like to order an additional lamp as well. Can you add on another to my order, or should I put in a separate order on line?

Also, since it takes so long to receive, I want to make sure this is not considered a special order and I will in fact be able to return them if need be, although I don't foresee this being the case.

Best,

Hello,

I tried to call you but you were not available.

I see from your email that you are planning to use the Jellyfish lamps as bedside lamps. There is no doubt they will be gorgeous in that setting, but you and your client should be aware that they are not intended as reading lamps. They come with a 40 watt light bulb and a two way switch (one dim setting, one bright). They are ok for light reading, such as thumbing through a magazine, but not recommended for heavier reading. It is possible to substitute a brighter fluorescent bulb, but the light tends to be harsher. Let us know your client's preference.

We would prefer not to provide two lamps on approval, since both would be made to order. What we can do is ship one lamp within 45 - 60 days and the second 30 - 45 days later if your client is satisfied with the first one. If this is acceptable to you and your client, we would simply adjust your original order from one to two lamps with the staggered delivery.

Please let us know what your client would like to do,

Sony for the late reply. I've been traveling out of the country. I will make sure my client is aware the light is not the brightest and let you know what he says and if he will still want to use the lamps as bed side lamps. Perhaps he will only want one in the end. I will get back to you! Thank you...

Hello,

I have had further discussion with the artist and I have some additional information for you.

Should your client desire brighter light in the lamps, Joel can substitute 60 Watt equivalent CFL bulbs for the standard 40 Watt incandescent bulbs (no charge for this). The resulting light is not harsher as I indicated in my previous email, just brighter, and is more energy efficient. However, the two-way switch makes very little difference in brightness with CFLs.

Should your client still wish to consider two lamps, let us know, and when Joel does the first, he will make a second set of tentacle parts at the same time to be sure the colors of the

second lamp are consistent with the first. He will also photograph and take measurements on the first to ensure consistency on the second.

Jim

Thank you Jim,

I am going to try and get my client to go look at the one in the store in NY which you found for me so he can see one in person. He is now concerned about the stability of the lamps; he wants to make sure they can't be easily knocked down standing on the tentacles.

I will get back to you as soon as I can! Thank you so much for your patience and help with this!

Ok, [ ] thanks for the update.

There is no need to be concerned. We have had no reports of any stability issues with the lamps. The lamps rest on five of the tentacles, forming a star pattern that is 7 - 7 1/2" in diameter, resulting in a very stable base. Joel told me about a gallery in Cambria, CA that was hit with an earthquake. Most of the glass art was destroyed, but Joel's double-domed jellyfish lamp remained standing, with no damage.

Jim

I am very sorry, but after seeing the jellyfish lamp in person, my client has decided against it. It is very unfortunate as I think it is a truly unique and beautiful piece of art! Again, I thank you for all your time and patience and I hope that I can order one in the future for a different client! Than you again,
