Threat Level: Orange
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5157 is to be kept in a fully rubber-lined 10 x 10 containment chamber. Must not be within 20 feet of any electrical power sources. Containment doors must be manually opened and key locked (electrical doors will malfunction); 2 doors are required and must be 5 feet apart.

Re-Containment Protocol: SCP-5157

Site Re-Containment Protocol
Protocol A1: Containment Chamber must be checked by a Maintenance Crew for any damage; must be done immediately after containment breach is announced
Protocol A2: All power sources in a 20-foot radius of SCP-5157 that caused the manifestation must be shut down immediately; do not attempt to touch SCP-5157
Protocol A3: SCP-5157 must be picked up and put back into containment after a 5 minute period (the time it takes for the electrical field to disperse); when picking up SCP-5157 rubber gloves are required to be worn
Protocol A4: Containment chamber will not be accessible for a 12 day period; unless authorization by the Site Director is given
Description: SCP-5157 is 1930’s style bankers lamp with a brass stand and amber-colored glass. There is visible wear and rust on the conjoining joints of the glass and lampstand, the bulb inside is in perfect condition. It is approximately 10.5 x 9.5 x 12.5 inches, current conclusions suggest that the lamp will never show any further signs of physically wearing.
SCP-5157 hosts the ability to manifest electrical energy and create an 800 voltage electrical field surrounding the entirety of it. Nearby power sources must be within a 20-foot radius of SCP-5157 for this manifestation to occur.
During an event of manifestation power sources that are being affected will become dysfunctional while SCP-5157 is within a 20-foot radius. Power sources affected by this manifestation have shown no visible internal or external damage after the lamp was removed from the 20-foot radius; power sources are required to be operational for manifestation to occur.
SCP-5157's manifestation could pose a very large threat for Foundation Sites/Area and Suburban/Metropolitan areas. Based upon the discovery log the school that SCP-5157 was discovered at would report electrical issues on a weekly basis. This is thought to have been caused by SCP-5157's ability. The lamp was found in the school's maintenance room (the main electrical box was located in this room as well).
SCP-5157 is under observation 24/7 by 2 Security Department Guards (required to be Clearance Level 3). This protocol is to ensure that personnel without proper authorization will not visit the chamber or come within a 20-foot radius of it. SCP-5157 can also be classified as a weapon due to its ability to shut down power sources, the foundation must make sure SCP-5157 does not get into the wrong hands.
No current conclusions have been made as to the reasoning for the existence of SCP-5157, nor any conclusions explaining its ability to manifest electricity.
SCP-5157 has caused 2 incidents while being contained in Site-█.
Incident Report: 5157-A1
Report ID#: 5157-1
Intended For: SCP-5157 Incident Report Database
Incident Summary: During the containment of SCP-5157 after discovery, two Foundation Agents were walking towards the containment chamber set for SCP-5157, Agent ████ noticed the lamp began emitting a luminescent blue color surrounding the entirety of it while being held in Agent ███ hands. Agent ███ immediately dropped the lamp seconds after all electrical power sources became dysfunctional causing a 20-foot radius power outage, this affected doors, lights, breaker boxes, containment chamber, etc. (all electrically powered objects) to shut down completely on Hall-█ of the Light Containment Zone.
Affected Objects: 5157 phenomenal events affected a multitude of electrical power sources providing electricity for:
- Containment Chambers
- Lighting
- Automatic Doors
- Computers
- Breaker Boxes
End Summary: Site-█'s Director ordered a full site manual lockdown and power to be cut while SCP-5157 was removed from being within a 20-foot radius of any power sources. A regulated containment chamber was created for housing SCP-5157.
Incident Report: 5157-A2
Report ID#: 5157-2
Intended For: SCP-5157 Incident Report Database
Incident Summary: During a maintenance checkup on SCP-5157's containment chamber (issued by Maintenance Chief Harold ██████) SCP-5157 began the process of manifestation of a portable energy source being carried by the maintenance crew after 10 minutes of inspection SCP-5157 began to shine a luminescent blue. Senior Site Technician Hobbs ███████ noticed this strange blue color emitting from inside SCP-5157's containment chamber, after opening the chamber doors Hobbs ███████ made contact with the brass stand, upon this slight contact 800 volts of electrical currents passed through the entirety of Hobbs body immediately causing death by electrocution.
Affected: SCP-5157s phenomenal event caused the death of Senior Site Technician Hobbs ███████.
End Summary: Site-█'s Director issued new regulations regarding the maintenance/inspection of SCP-5157's containment chamber, as-well-as regulations regarding SCP-5157 during research.
Interview Log: 5157-A1
Interviewed: Foundation Agent ████ ███
Interviewer: Researcher ████
Foreword: Agent ███ interviewed after having made contact with SCP-5157 (more information in incident report 5157-1) during the start of its manifestation and survived.
<Begin Log>
Researcher: I assume you know why you were called here today?
Agent: sigh Probably has to do something with the incident a week ago.
Researcher: Yes it does, now let's begin.
Researcher: While you were holding the lamp before it began shining, did you experience any bodily abnormalities?
Agent: Well, as we entered the Site I began feeling a little jittery |he'd pause| but I supposed this was because I've never transferred let alone held an SCP before
Researcher: Could you describe this "jittery" feeling in your body with greater detail?
Agent: looked up to think Uhm, it felt as if paused as if….you know when you get shocked that feeling? That's what it felt like, other than that I would not know how to describe it
Researcher: noted this down When the lamp began shining in your hands did you experience any further bodily abnormalities?
Agent: I guess paused that jittery feeling I had but it was stronger, and I could feel it through my whole body
Researcher: looked up after noting this down After you dropped the lamp from your hands did this feeling continue?
Agent: Uhm….no, immediately after I dropped the lamp it stopped
Researcher: After the incident occurred did you feel any more bodily abnormalities during later days?
Agent: I suppose not, just the good ol' aching back smirked and chuckled
Researcher: That will be all for today Agent ████. You are free to exit and resume normal duties

All regulations regarding SCP-5157 are to be followed at all times; contact your Site's Director in regards to any questions based upon regulation information, regulation safety, etc.
Due to these incidents SCP-5157 is not authorized for testing or for research to be conducted, nor be taken out of its containment chamber; authorization from the Site Director is required for any action involving SCP-5157 (if authorization is given all regulations and protocol must be followed at all times).
Discovery Log: SCP-5157
Summary: SCP-5157 was discovered by 3 teenagers (Aging 13, 16, 19) while searching an abandoned school from the late 1980s. The 3 teenagers found and brought the lamp home, after the lamp was physically in their house for a span of 3 hours the teenager (Age 16) decided to make contact with the lamp. 800 volts of electrical currents passed through the entirety of their body causing death by electrocution. The ████ County Police in Maine were contacted and notified of the teenager's death by the parents, no conclusion as to how this was possible could be made as the lamp was not plugged into a power source. The SCP Foundation caught note of this phenomenal event and recovered SCP-5157 from the house, and began the transfer of it to Site-█.
