So last night I kicked my night lamp in my sleep, killing it instantly. Unable to fix it (it was fixed once already, and on the brink of death when killed), I went to the second-hand open market, it's an outside event that happens weekly in the town's biggest parking lot.
As soon as I saw a lamp in there, I bargained for it and bought it. I didn't care what kind of lamp it was, and when I got home, this is what I had:

I absolutely love it, it's made out of real wood and metal, incredibly heavy and resilient, cannot easily be broken or kicked to death. But, I've also noticed this thing is very old, to the point where it's kind of a hazard; let me explain.
When I plugged this into the power extender, I noticed my laptop would no longer get any electricity. The sticker on the lamp says '50W max' and I know this isn't a lot! But I'm starting to think this lamp might be made in the times where electricity was working differently, or maybe the extenders weren't used.
It is also, so incredibly hot, I believe I could boil water on top of it after it's been plugged in for a minute. I'm a bit worried that this might be a hazard to keep on my bed (my bed is a big couch, I keep my lamp on it!)
If anyone here smart about lamps, could you tell me what time period this could be from? It doesn't have any writings on it except for that sticker with 50W max on it. Also the bottom part is some kind of black foam glued to it, so I can't dissemble it, but it makes very soft landing when you put it down. The light bulb is also fixed and cannot be changed! I imagine it must have been working for a long time already.

We lit the driving lamp! It was surprisingly bright! The tail light was bright too, good for warning drivers behind

As far as the lamp goes, I don't really know how old is is timewise but from an electronics perspective, if you have any kind of adapter that has a built-in transformer that might help.
With old electronics it's sometimes the case that they end up drawing a lot more power with aging to some components.
But also (idk where you're from, I'm assuming Balkan states?) but grounding was only a common practice from the 40s onwards and I'm pretty sure like generations ago they also had a lower output voltage in homes (don't have a source on that tbh) but it could be that. I'm tempted to say your lightbulb is getting that hot that fast because it shouldn't be taking in the 220V or so (not sure of the specifics where you are in terms of household electricity) and its overheating, but I do think the laptop thing is probably to do with it acting incorrectly due to a mismatch of wiring systems. I'd suggest trying to get an adapter/extension that has a fuse/small breaker just in case
Thank you for this information! I really appreciate getting this knowledge from a source smarter than me!
Yes I am from the Balkans :D
Now, I do not have any electrical knowledge, so when you say 'transformer', I don't know how thats supposed to look, but I'm not eager to go and buy extensions for this, it will be used mostly one hour a day, and, I figured out a trick:
If I plug in my laptop first, and it starts drawing electricity first, and only then I plug in this lamp, then it's working okay. So, theoretically, I could just plug up my laptop, then put my phone to charge, then plug in the lamp, and it would take less electricity (I hope thats how it works at least).
I got this lamp because it was used and super cheap so I'm not planning to buy extra things xD it's okay if it's hot, I think bulbs in general were very hot until recently we started using ones that don't produce heat, this one is just a little.. extra hot.
