Abstract
A lamp having a source of electrical power, an illuminating element, a base, a globe-like transparent or translucent housing around the illuminating element, the globe having facial features formed in relief on an outer surface thereof and having an upper structure consisting of ears, fur, hair or a head covering such as a hat. The lamp preferably has a plurality of brightness levels and is suitable for illumination of a juvenile environment and for use as a night light. The globe-like housing is designed so that heat from the illuminating element is transferred to the environment without an unacceptable internal heat buildup or fire hazard.
