This is a classic from the 80’s and 90’s. A fiber optic light works by having long flexible fibers made of plastic that transmits the light from the source to a different location. Basically, the light source is in the white base, and it travels up the plastic hairs and shines out of the tips of the tubes only. They are so cool to watch and play with because as the flexible hairs move the little dots of lights move around. Lamp is 9″ tall, shines red, and includes the batteries.
