I originally got one of these through a kickstarter project but they have an on-line store now. The light is really cool and it is fun to put it together (their step by step instructions are quite good, but it does require patience and note that they do include a few extra pieces to cover any mistakes).
Loomi light
Discount code: BLACKASLIGHT
I suggest getting at least two as you can get creative with them and colour them and cut out patterns etc...
You can just buy their kit which includes a 15 foot cord with a switch (easiest; $20.99 for one including shipping) or you can buy the pieces for the shell ($16.99 inc shipping) and then buy the lamp insert separately (e.g. from IKEA - although note this one does not have a switch) - but then remember that you will have to factor in the additional (minimal) cost of the lamp insert.
You have to use a fluorescent or LED bulb.
Shipping is via USPS and is cheap (e.g. shipping for 1 starts at $6 and for 4 without cord it is $8 to Ontario and for 4 with cord it is $10).
And yes, Ikea has a light that sort of looks like this, but it is (in my opinion) not the same, and at least lacks the fun factor of getting creative and personalizing it!
