Buv no other- The country has bea flooded with many worthless imitations. Don't be fooled into buying an imitation because it sell3 at a cheaper price. An imitation is dear at any price. A lamp that clogs up, fails to give good light or plays out in a few weeks Is mighty dear at one fourth the price of the "Radiolite."
