alt Hacker NewsWill there be a follow-up when that Ikea tissue-paper lamp catches fire and burns his flat down?
I don't know how those things are legal, like building a computer case out of recycled newspaper clippings.

Betcha there’s an LED in there creating less waste heat than the sunlight hitting it during the day.
Would you like to buy a fire insurance policy against the specific casualty of that lamp igniting from its light source and burning OP’s flat down? I’ll sell you one for a great price.

Those where everywhere in the late 80s, complete with 80W incandescent light bulbs. I'm not suggestion that it can't catch fire, but even if it did wouldn't the paper would burn so fast that not enough heat is generated to ignite anything else?
