The T-Rex Light is Designed to Look Like a Child's Dinosaur Toy

The T-Rex Light from ThinkGeek is proof that the appeal of dinosaurs, specifically the Tyrannosaurus Rex, knows no bounds. This lamp was specifically designed to look like a child's toy. It stands under 10 inches tall and is powered by a 7-watt bulb. It won't exactly light up an entire room but it does seem to work well as a desk light or night light.

As crazy as it may sound the T-Rex Light is actually one of a few dinosaur-themed lamps out there. Dinosaurs are popular inspirations when it comes to home furnishings, taking the form of everything from clothes racks to couches and beds. The T-Rex Light is available now in ThinkGeek's online shop for $39.99.
