I did something, eh, "somewhat" similar as a kid. In the apartment complex where I lived from 1973 to '75, the dining area had hanging "globe" lamp linked by a cable attached to the second level ceiling (it was a two-story "townhouse"). the lamp was maybe 20 or 24 inches in diameter and it was controlled by a rotary "dimmer" switch. My friend and I would adjust the brightness to a very dim "glow" and then we'd "orbit" a fully assembled AMT kit of the Enterprise around our "planet". Then we'd play with the dimmer and make it glow ever steadily brighter, as though our "planet" was about to explode. Other times, we'd pretend it was Balok's ship, the Fesarius, and quickly twist the dimmer in cadence with our speech, as though Balok's voice was somehow affecting the power output of his immense craft. Other times, that lamp served as Sargon's spirit "receptacle" or the device on Sigma Draconis that housed Spock's brain.I'm surprised we didn't short out that dimmer playing with it as we did!Sincerely,Bill
