Plant light.... anyone know of this?

[sodam]

Here's one to solve.... some years ago (15-ish?) I bought, from the Ideal Home Exhibition, a light fitting that went into a bowl of soil, then planted some plants in the soil..... then, by touching the leaves of the plants I could switch the light bulb on and off or dim it..... I loved that gadget!!! I have since lost it in moving house. Has anyone else heard of it, and do you know if/where I could get hold of another one? I would be SO grateful for any help!!

You are not dreaming I used to have one, I have not seen them anywhere for ages though.

I've just found those here...
In the same search that brought up your question!

I'm tempted! do they really work then?

I'm was looking for a light bulb that would help plants grow...a substitute for daylight......
If I find one it would be a great combo with this lamp!!
