Dirk van Erp’s Lamp

Origins
Dirk van Erp was an artisan best known for his lamps, bowls and vases he made in San Francisco, California.

Effects
The lamp has scientifically been proven that it artificially increases the photoelectric effect of any substance in its light. The photoelectric effect is how many photons, or particles of light, are released when a beam of light is shined on a metal and the light ejects electrons out from the metal’s surface. Not all colors of light are able to trigger the photoelectric effect, only certain ones can.

The lamp’s light makes all colors of light compatible enough to produce photons from all objects, whether a metal or not. That was the scientific report that came back form Eureka; Artie’s simplified explanation is that it makes anything in its light extremely reflective. However, it is so powerful, it overloads the eyes with light and causes them to black out.
