Lampy

Sr. "Lampy/Tensor" Locksley is an orange Tensor desktop lamp with a long, flexible gooseneck, from his head to his body, from The Brave Little Toaster and its sequels. He (or she, if female) is the only appliance who is clearly literate, (probably due to shining his light on the books his master would be reading,) as he is seen reading a phone book with more aptitude than Toaster. He has no arms but can use his electric cord and plug as handy appendages. He is voiced by Tim Stack.

Personality
Lampy is outgoing and impatient and has a habit of repeating words he's already said per sentence. He has moments of thoughtfulness, such as when he recalls the time his master Rob changed his bulb and kept him in use. He also has moments of incredible selflessness; his moment of glory came when he turned himself into a lightning rod during a thunderstorm in order to recharge the group's battery, which consequently blew out his bulb. Lampy was later given a new bulb by the Hanging Lamp in Elmo St. Peters' Parts Shop.

He also has moments of brilliance in spite of his lack of significant intelligence, such as when he came up with a plan for rescuing Radio, when Elmo St. Peters was about to pull out Radio's tubes.

Relationships
Lampy is good friends with Toaster. He is not so nice to Blanky and calls him a baby. Lampy has little patience for the bombastic Radio, even though they're best friends, and the two usually end up fighting. Lampy also dislikes Kirby's bossy attitude.

Trivia

 * Lampy is voiced by a woman in the German, Brazilian-Portuguese, and Polish dubs, and he possibly is a female.
 * In the original "Goes to Mars" novella, he stayed behind with Kirby while the others went on the mission.
 * He bears a striking resemblance to Crow T. Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000, the character Rayman from UbiSoft's Rayman video game series, as well as Kaa from The Jungle Book.
 * In the movie National Treasure, the hero stated that Thomas Alva Edison discovered hundreds of ways not to make a lightbulb before knowing the one way to make said invention work.
 * Lampy holds many references to Edison himself, not just because he is an electric light, but also because he comes up with many ridiculous ideas that seemed good at the time (ex: riding on the bed while Kirby pushes, using the Master's pogo stick, and riding on a skateboard while Kirby pulls) to the point where everyone, including ol' loudmouth Radio, tells him to shut up. Sooner or later, however, Lampy's inventive thinking pays off (ex: turning himself into a lightning rod, or making the group look like a ghost to scare St. Peters).
 * One of Lampy's earliest lines even happens to be: "Sweet mother of Edison!"
