Never had one. Didn't know anyone who had one. Is this an American thing?

I seen a lot of them in France I still have one in case of a lightbulb dying

Had one in Germany, they were quite common here. Worked well as a bug zapper, there was the occasional smell of crispy moths...

Were they expensive? I grew up hunting feral pigeons for food and we were by no means the poorest family in the area.

Definetly an American thing. First time seeing this lamp.
