I recall one of my friends parents having something like this, theirs was more like a Gondola and had permanently wired Lilliput bulbs fitted to it; I don't ever remember seeing it lit up.
I can also remember the "Ships wheel" style Television lamps I'm not sure where I have seen them though.
On the subject of television lighting I was advised many years ago by an optician that you should always watch television with plenty of light around it even if the rest of the room is dimly lit, I'm not sure if there is any evidence to suggest probelms with eye strain if this is not done however.
