Lamps which cost 120 are sold for 192 with a profit of 6 per lamp How many lamps were in the shipment?

Let the number of lamps in the shipment be x. Each lamp costs 120 and is sold for 192 with a profit of 6, so the profit per lamp is 192 - 120 = 72. Given that the profit per lamp is 6, we can set up an equation: 6x = 72x, x = 12 lamps.

Can you use a heat lamp bulb in a regular socket in the bathroom?

You sure can, it's been done, and the bathroom didn't blow up, the bathroom was just extremely bright Some sockets, though, do have a maximum wattage and/or a maximum heat tolerance that needs to be followed to avoid the risk of fire in the wiring and ceiling. It won't blow up, but you might start a fire. Heat lamps should have a porcelain socket and heat resistant insulation.

What is the origin of the lava lamp?

The Lava Lamp was invented by Edward Craven Walker and first went on sale in 1963. Walker was inspired by a lamp he saw in a bar 15 years earlier, and eventually perfected the "lava" recipe, using a combination of oil, wax, and various other solids. Originally marketed in Europe under the name Astro Lamp, it was eventually brought to the states by two American entrepreneurs and sold as the Lava Lite lamp.


When was the lava lamp invented?

The lava lamp was invented in 1963 by Edward Craven Walker, a British accountant and entrepreneur. Walker was inspired by an intriguing liquid-filled egg timer he saw in a pub. He went on to develop the iconic lava lamp that became a symbol of 1960s and 1970s counterculture.


When was lava lamps invented?

Singapore-born inventor Craven Walker was having a pint in post W.W.II England. The pub's decor included a fascinating lamp, which Craven Walker described as a "contraption made out of a cocktail shaker, old tins and things." It was to become the starting point and inspiration for Craven Walker's design. The liquid-filled inventor proceeded to purchase the equally liquid-filled lamp, whose creator (Mr. Dunnett) Walker later discovered had died. Walker became determined to make a better version of the novelty item and spent the next decade and a half doing so (inbetween running an international house-swap agency and making films about nudism.) Walker worked on improving the lamp with his company the Crestworth Company of Dorset, England. Initially local retail merchants thought his lamps were ugly and disgusting. Luckily, for Craven Walker the "Psychedelic Movement" and the "Love Generation" came to dominate 60's merchandising in Great Britain and sales of the lava lamp soared. It was the perfect light for modern times, Walker declared. "If you buy my lamp, you won't need to buy drugs." Craven Walker perfected a secret Lava recipe of oil, wax and other solids. The original model had a large gold base with tiny holes to simulate starlight, and a 52 oz. globe that contained red or white Lava and yellow or blue liquid. He marketed the lamp in Europe under the name of Astro Lamp. Two American entrepreneurs saw the lava lamp displayed at a German trade show and bought the rights to manufacture the lava lamp in North America under the name Lava Lite lamp. Before selling his company, sales of the lamps had exceeded seven million units. Today with over 400,000 lava lamps made each year, the Lava Lamp is enjoying a comeback. Craven Walker's originally company, the Crestworth Company, changed names to Mathmos in 1995 (a reference to the bubbling force in Barbarella.) They still manufacture the Astro, Astro Baby, and more Lava Lamps in their original home of Poole, Dorset, UK.
