Norway’s Northern Lighting launches some new mood lighting: the Scheisse exploding light bulb and Moo, the softly glowing moose, a gentle trophy. The Scheisse, a large pendant, is a salute to the classic incandescent bulb, and its explosion a reflection of where that classic is going. Moo, with bulbs inside the horns as well, is made of poly-resin, which allows for transparency and can be placed indoors or out.

Erm, nice Lamp but why the hell do they call this lamp "Scheisse"???
The Scheisse? The Shit? La merde?
Strange name ...
I believe it's what one says when a bulb explodes... but I'm not sure.
Great name. Love it, and love the lamp! Exploding bulb, environment to hell = Scheisse
Cool name! Looooove it! Good work!
Fun and strong icon!
Congratulations, you have a winner!
Where can I buy this!
Here's what Trond Svendgård, one of the partners of Northern Lighting, had to say:
"Scheisse" is given its name because it describes well the feeling you get when something breaks - like when a bulb is exploding or like when the world is threatened. Maybe a bit strong of a word for some, but hope. "Good bye, lightbulb."
I think they translated the English "Shit!" but in German the meaning of "Scheisse" is more like "Fuck!". It's quite a hard word. May be with this name it is difficult to sell. Can't imagine that anybody goes in a shop and ask for the lamp. ;-)
Can't wait for the fluorescent version to come out. Wonder what they'd call that one.
i think it's an awesome lamp, specially for restaurants, public spaces and installations... as i think it looks quite big... but i would love to have it in my place as well! Nice work!
Awesome lamp. Im not sure I would have named the lamp 'Scheisse' though :)
