Hmm, highly dubious and not helped in the slightest by the marketing waffle.
Quote:
To produce digital output, the REG uses a quantum phenomenon called electron tunneling, which is measured as a randomly fluctuating current across a potential barrier in an electric circuit.
Otherwise known as a diode or the base-emitter junction of any ol' transistor, followed by a simple amplifier. AKA white noise generator and it has no "oooh - scientific!" wow-factor whatever.
It's possible to demonstrate the same <ahem> "mind control" by staring at a TV screen with the aerial unplugged and trying to influence the random noise pattern. Not quite as pretty, but at least you already have one.

I've not got a telly anymore. Can I use a radio?

I'm perfectly happy with my sound lights. They light up and flash with sounds, and it's pretty cool when you're talking and they light up with your voice. I also like those lights with all the little bristles that glow on the ends, but I can't remember what they're called.

I'll sell you some homeopathic water for only $40 per litre. Even better deal!
Regarding the lamp the write-up reeks of new age psycho babble - just say some crap and wrap it around quantum physics and you've got a winner!
Out of curiosity I wonder how close the lamp is supposed to be to the person to be "influenced" by their thoughts. Reminds me of some analogue electronic circuits I designed for my own fun years ago that simply detected when my hand was near to the balanced but highly unstable circuit. Nothing paranormal of course, just the proximity of my hand to the loop wire was enough to change its capacitative / inductive characteristics which then triggered changes in a cascade of astable circuits resulting in a varying frequency sound output via a tiny speaker.

Sounds like a theramin

No, I will just use my mind to influence the white noise. But how will I know if I'm psychically affecting it?
Can I just stare at my normal light and try to influence it? Brightness maybe? I don't know jack about electricals.

Aha! Now I know what you do when you're not on WP. You sell these:
