plasma lamp
Glowing glass sphere
A plasma lamp is a decorative light consisting of a glass globe filled with inert gas, with a high-voltage electrode at the center that creates colorful tendrils of electrical discharge reaching toward the outer surface.
The glowing filaments respond to touch, following a hand placed against the glass.
Popular as novelty items since the 1980s: She had a plasma lamp on her desk that made her fingers glow purple.
