Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in an electromagnetically isolated storage unit in Site 15. Any experimentation concerning the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX are to be conducted in an electromagnetically sealed room. No electronics with a battery capable of discharging greater than ten (10) amps are permitted in the experimentation chamber. No videos of SCP-XXXX operating are to be produced unless with permission and oversight from the SCP-XXXX Research Lead. Any videos created of SCP-XXXX operating are to be destroyed after experimentation has concluded.
Description: SCP-XXXX shares its appearance with a standard CFL light bulb. SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects manifest themselves as a potent visual cognitohazard. When SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects are exposed to a new subject there are three (3) stages of development. First, exposure to visual stimuli from SCP-XXXX will take control of a subject's hormone release. Blood testing of subjects under the first stage of SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects shows increased hormonal levels in random distributions. Once the first stage of development is complete, human subjects show increased levels of dopamine release. This release in dopamine coincides with proximity to, and line of sight with, SCP-XXXX. The secondary stage of development will last from three (3) days, up to two (2) weeks. Third, subjects show an abnormally high release of endorphins when within the presence of SCP-XXXX.

Its anomalous effects are most prevalent when it is slotted into a lightbulb socket with access to mains electricity. No distinct differences have been observed with SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects on either standard American 120-volt or European 240-volt power. SCP-XXXX is capable of drawing power from its surroundings when not connected to a power source. This draw of power can access energy up to two (2) meters away. After enough power has been drawn SCP-XXXX will be active for a short period of time.
