About Spike Lampa

Imríonn lampa spike le codarsnachtaí. Léiríonn sé do chultúr punc, ach fós meon Lochlannacha a mhaolú. Is píosa toirtiúil é, ach tá an solas te dírithe isteach i limistéar beag pointeáilte faoin bpíosa. Tá cuma ionsaitheach ar an lampa Spike mar gheall ar na spící miotail atá dírithe ar an lucht féachana. Ag an am céanna tá rud éigin socair faoi réidh an dromchla ceirmeach agus solas te. Cruthaíonn an lampa teannas ar an taobh istigh. Cosúil le duine aonair ó fho-chultúr.
