Ok, in the 'semi-darkness' one evening I came upon a bunch of junk on a curb --- obviously someone was 'kicked' out of a duplex half --- anyway, I saw what appeared to be a HUGE grow light! I thought "oh hot dog!" I cant pass this up! So I hurried home, got the pick up, hauled it into the bed,took it home to the garage & guess what it 'really' was ... its a darn tanning thingy --- I plugged it in, the timer started working but the lights did'nt, so DH said maybe the lights broke when someone tossed it to the curb, so --- I may see about getting a flouresant tube (I know - wrong spelling) and adding it in to see if it will work at all, if not ... back to the curb!
Its kinda of cool, its not a bed but it is on a stand & adjustable for height & the light fixture is adjustable too - you can raise it and or tilt it, and the stand is on rollers for easy moving.
