These lamps are famous for utilizing thermodynamic motion: the heat rising from a standard incandescent light bulb triggers an inner, lightweight, perforated cylinder to spin. When that light passes through the rotating inner shade and the outer lithographed glass/plastic cylinder, it creates the active visual illusion of rushing, flowing water tumbling over Niagara Falls. It features an ornate, Art Deco-style cast iron or cast metal base and vented top. The frames hold a cylindrical translucent shade printed with a lithographed scene of Niagara Falls. The bases are frequently stamped with the manufacturer's mark (Scene-in-Action Corp. or Genie-in-Action Corp.) along with original patent numbers like 1,838,802 and 1,755,589.
