Do you collect lights and light fixtures?

Well this fellow certainly does! He's been collecting for over 30 years and has more than 800 late-20th-century French and Italian lights. Click here to learn more!

I have started getting interested in vintage electric lamps and light fixtures. There doesn't seem to be much information about them on the web, and the books available seem to focus on those with very valuable glass shades (e.g. Tiffany). Anybody know any good online info sources? Or books I should get?
