It's honestly kind of pathetic if it was intentional. I mean, you need a way to dim a normal, regular old lamp and THIS is what ends up on screen?
What about its production time? Did it all go smoothly or did they need cut corners?
Seems like something the director wanted in the last second, hence the DIY

I checked Wikipedia and suddenly it makes a lot more sense.
[quote]According to numerous accounts, the production is alleged to have been a mostly disorganized affair,[7] with the usually meticulous Tod Browning leaving cinematographer Karl Freund to take over during much of the shoot, making Freund something of an uncredited director on the film.[/quote]
[quote]One point made by online film critic James Berardinelli[10] is that the actors' performance style seems to belong to the silent era. Director Tod Browning had a solid reputation as a silent film director, having made them since 1915, but he never felt completely at ease with sound films.[/quote]
